A Good day....but wow

I had a productive and good day today at work that actually winded up irritating me though when i got home. I went to Elmira today to meet with a customer who owns a rental property in a high drug area in Elmira. He has breaks ins almost daily and he wanted cameras and a security system to further protect his tenants. Ok cool. He was ready buy whatever i told him to so this sale was going to be easy. So to my surprise, when i pulled up to the building ...i was totally not expecting what i saw. This building was ...how can i say it...uh...uhm...trashy. I was surprised this house was standing. I mean literally..it looked like if i walked up the steps..the entire building was just going to fall on top of my head. Now the customer requested that i bring a demo kit. Ok cool. So this guy sees me dragging a suitcase (literally) that obviously has everything he needs to see in order to ensure he making the correct decision in investing in ADT. Do you think he holds the door for me to drag the suitcase in...NO...and then he has the nerve to want me to bring this suitcase upstairs and then back down the stairs and that's when i had to say no. After i said no,he showed me a place to put the kit and then we began our walk through. I thought the outside was bad but nah. As he was talking to me about what he wanted to secure ..i was either trying to avoid touching something or throwing up in my mouth. At times both. But ..low and behold i sold him what he needed, made some money and got the hell out of their.

But when i get back home, my manager called me and told me that i lost 2 sales, which means the 2 i had just sold replaced the 2 i lost so i broke even. Which leaves me still fighting to find 4 more units. This has been a tough month because I have lost a lot of units. Had i not lost anything this month..id be well over quota right now. But you know what, id rather take these hits now so that i can start off as clean as i can for December because I am going on vacation next month and id like to be at number before i go. Which means i have to work hard. So back to the grin tomorrow to find 4 more people that want security from me. All i do know is..i cant stand the house im in mainly because i am ready to move and i know that. But i thank god that i have never lived in an environment like that. Im glad the lord has always allowed me to find nice apartments because if i had to live in something like that i just dont know what i would do. Especially if i had to bring my kids there.I understand these landlords are in it for the money but damn....really. Would u live in something like that? I think not.

I have no significant purpose for the blog..i just felt like typing. GN!
