The Mobile World

So I've been working as a mobile retailer for a while now and I've learned a lot and I've even taught a lot. Making decisions when it comes to things like this is actually pretty hard if you don't go to the right place or talk to the right person. Most people that make commission are only interested in making the biggest sales so they can maximize their profits. When I make a sale to someone I don't pay any attention to how much I am going to make off of the sale. If they want to go with a prepaid phone I will make sure that they are informed about their decision and let them know that contracts aren't as scary as they seem but if that's what they want then that's what I give them. I think that when you are selling something to someone it is important to make sure that they are getting what is right for their individual needs. In the long run you gain the confidence of the buyer and they will keep coming back to you and they will even send their friends and family to you because they trust that you aren't going to bullshit them. I feel that if more sales associates felt the same way people wouldn't be so afraid to ask us for help or to even come into the store to buy something. I realize that I haven't been in the sales game for that long but I'm still learning and these are my observations so far. I am always up for some more advice!

Breakups..?

After being with the same guy for two years we finally called it quits. Things ended up getting really bad towards the end and I didn't trust him anyways so I thought it best to just leave it at that and get out. What I didn't see coming was the fact that in the middle of the night a couple nights later he was going to pack up and move out taking my rent money with him. I don't understand why! So here I am about a month later thinking....it's been hard for me to get over this breakup even with everything that has happened because I mean it was two years of my life and that's the person that I did everything with. In the back of your head you sometimes wonder to yourself if you made the right decision and other times you tell yourself well if you would have just put up with it you wouldn't be happy today. It takes time to get other things and maybe I'm just trying rush it when I should just take it one step at a time. Just relax...let things play out.
