This. Is. Not. A. Good. Thing.
I really wish I knew what was going wrong this week. With the holidays in the rearview mirror I figured that sales should be picking up at a decent pace. Indeed, when I went into Nassau on Monday morning for the weekly meeting I found out that the most of the people had done very well last week. Friday and Saturday in fact were record-setting days. What I figured, in my all-too-trusting manner, was that I was overdue for a big week and therefore would be putting up some terrific numbers. Bound to happen, right?
Wrong. Monday was sort-of-semi-somewhat decent, which was not good enough considering that many people had the day off for the Martin Luther King Day holiday. I was in one of the busier sales locations, moreover, so there was a steady parade of potential customers. My numbers should have been outstanding, but they weren’t. As for Tuesday, well, let’s just say that it is a bad memory best forgotten. I spent it in my Old Reliable nearby location, a location were I can always count on doing okay. Not today, despite my very best efforts it was a disaster. People were quite rude, too, which is completely uncharacteristic for that location. Wednesday was slightly better, not that it could have been any worse. Because I have to attend to some outside business matters on Thursday this will be a shorter than usual week for me. For that reason I really had been counting on three good days to start the week. Reality had other plans.
