@hatealot This pretty much sums it up. The company had a cool culture so I didn’t mind it. And honestly, most folks didn’t even try so it made it easier per say.
But prior to starting at that company I owned my own businesses so I was used to an entrepreneurial level of hustle. I applied that to my day job and took off.
In those 6 months I volunteered for every extra shift, took all the hard calls, and resolved all the issues for my fellow reps before the manager could. I became an underboss, so when the manager position opened up, I got in.
I applied that same hustle in the manager role and they personally asked me to apply for sales. I’m currently number one in the company for a few categories. And I’m still grinding. A VP at my company gets a base of $250K plus bonuses so I still got a lot of work to do
