Welcome To My Reality~

April Prompt #10

10) What was/is your best job?

Sadly my physical and mental health have made it to where I am not able or allowed to work any longer. Before though, when I did work, I have always loved working sales/retail. My grandfather used to tell me I could sell a ketchup popsicle to a woman wearing white gloves...it took me a while to realize that he was saying I can sell anything to anybody. I have a knack for selling and it is something that I am good at doing. I have worked in 3 major Jewelry store chains in my life, selling diamonds that cost as much as my truck did.....I worked at Victoria Secret Catalog call center...only 2 in the entire world...one in Japan and one in Ohio....I took over a 100 calls a day sometimes and even over the phone I was able to almost always end up getting the customer to buy more then they planned to....I ran my own business and sold adult sex toys, lotions, creams and more...I was booked 6 months in advance for these parties and I made amazing money doing it. I just have the gift that a salesperson needs to have in order to make the most money they can. I loved working in sales...it was a good income, especially when I got a hourly pay PLUS commission....the bigger you see you can make by being a good salesperson, the harder you try at it. Before my health issues became what they are, I could and would be able to talk to anyone...gift of gab for sure...still do but now only with my friends and family....my anxiety has taken a lot from me and being able to chat with anyone about pretty much anything is one of those things taken from me. I miss those awesome sales/retail jobs and I really miss the money I made by being good at what I did. I know I still got it though cause I can have a yard sale and I STILL got the gift of talking them right into buying more or something they never planned too. Go me...maybe someday I can use those good old salesperson skills again.
