Oh well. It was never gonna last forever, this not having a boss thing. My new Sales Manager has started today so i have to make it look, not only like i know what i'm doing, but like i enjoy it and am good at it. He seems nice enough, enthusiastic, pleasant and confident, but the onus is now on me to be good at my job rather than just look like i am. I had my 3 month review last week, on the tuesday when i wrote my last entry. I was lavished with praise, but i think that was because i beat the MD to it.
He started by saying that he started all his staff reviews by asking them how they felt. (Now i'm quite proud of this) i said: "i'm doing better than i thought but not as well as i'd like" Which is perfectly true. I am doing much better than i thought i would be. i expected to be crap at this job, to never get appointments, to feel like a prat (one t or two?) talking to people who have n interest in hearing what i say, but it's all rubbish. I am good at my job.
My book "See You At The Top" by Zig Ziglar, is teaching me a lot. I've never been one for motivational/self help books - i mean self-help, how does a book written by somebody else help you...
Anyhoo, hometime!!! Yay!
