Work prayers for me.

You may or may not remember that I was hired and supposed to start a new job the Monday after Mark died. Well obviously I didn't start. The General Manager has been absolutely wonderful and kept in touch through the summer, letting me know that he is still interested in having me on the sales team when I'm ready to return.

He and I spoke today about my start and he's since hired a new Sales Manager. I will be meeting w/ this gentleman (Pete) at 11 Thursday, more of a formality, but necessary none the less since I will be working for him. Chuck didn't sound worried at all, said he wants Pete to have final say w/ personalities and expectations since it's his sales team, I completely understand and should not be worried, but there are some butterflies in my stomach.

You will do just fine. We both believe that God has a way of working things our for our best interests and if this is in God's plan, that's the way its going to be. But, you will still be fine.

I'M EMPLOYED!!

As of now I start Sept 11th, he's fully understanding of my situation~David starts school on the 6th, I told him that if he wants me to start earlier, just say the word and I'll be there. I leave on Sept 18th for a business trip with the entire Sales Team to Albuquerque NM, return the 20th late and will be off the 21st through 25th for Taras wedding....he didn't even blink about it

Thank you ALL for your prayers and support!

So I left the office around 11:45, the General Manager is in Toronto Canada so I only met w/ the Sales Manager.

I came home to this timestamped 11:48 am from the General Manager

Marissa,

Nice Job! I had no doubt you would make a great impression on Pete. I look forward to your being a part of the team. As Pete mentioned, please plan on attending the training in New Mexico 9/18-20.

Take care!

Chuck
WOW!!!

I was supposed to start there June 26th, since that time, the Sales Manager has promoted out, the Sales person that started at the same time I would have is on track to make $50K right now (base is $26 + commission and Bonus) and he's trying out a new position...the COmpany is BURSTING out of it's seams here, there will only be 2 Inside Sales Reps~myself and him AND we're only working the Portland metro area right now, our territory is ALL of Oregon and Washington (except Seattle and Bellevue)!! HUGE GROWTH!!

Oh, I can definately see the growing need for that. Just me alone I spend 30- 45 minutes a day shredding credit card and company info.
