And, much like my last job (and the one before that), I pretty much suck at it. But it's not because I'm not a good salesperson - they hired me on the spot with no experience in either software or sales after I helped them out at a trade show for a few days - but that I just don't CARE about it. That happens to be the vice in the side of my work ethic - if I care, I'll work myself to the bone, if I don't, you might as well be paying me to blog...Mood Indigohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16929563902268786112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19817593.post-86670698054504418272007-09-13T17:19:00.000-07:002007-09-13T17:19:00.000-07:001.
