But if you take it because it's something you want to do, then most likely you will be good at it.

I was a terrific salesperson and made a lot of sales. Rather than just giving me a good commission, I was forced to become store manager to validate all the money I was making. I was not a good manager and really didn't want to manage. My bosses actually moved me away from what i did best to make them money.stephen Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659054447637207734noreply@blogger.com
