Some people are meant for sales, some are not. I am an R NOT. I started young. I think I was around eight when I went door to door doing catalog sales of greeting cards, wrapping paper, ribbons, stationary and the like. Sort of like the present day Current catalog. I had wonderful neighbors who always managed to buy something but I soon was old enough to move on to another career. Initially, it was writing a neighborhood newsletter on my toy typewriter and selling copies for ten cents. Once again, my neighbors came through. By age twelve, babysitting had taken over and my selling days were done. I thought.
It was years later that I thought I would give sales a try. I’d been working as marketing support specialist, assisting the sales folks at Burroughs in Orlando. For whatever reason, I don’t know why, I decided I should try sales and headed on my search. I got a job for Uarco. They sold business forms (this was back in the day of multiple copy forms using carbon paper). Well, I lasted less than three months – I hated it! Fortunately I got my old job back (great boss who knew I’d be back), and I never tried sales again.
Then there is the other side of sales – BUYING. Now I love that side. I used to visit the sales and clearance racks so often my hubby started asking if I was going to visit my boyfriend Clarance. LOL! I’ve always been a sucker for sales and discounts. That hasn’t changed although my spending is definitely higher than my younger years.
Can you resist a good sale bargain?
My A-Z this year are random thoughts, ideas, and whatever pops into my mind for the letter of the day. As in previous years, I will keep it short and sweet.
