Stop Selling!


Last year at work was tough. In fact it was the toughest in the 20 years I've been at this. It wasn't helped by some sales targets which could only be described as 'humorous'. My BF's advice was to keep my head down, my appointment diary full & all will be well. He was right.

Today is the last day of the month. I have just recorded the highest monthly sales ever in my Territory. In fact this whole year has been a blinder compared to the previous challenging 12 months. So when I received a text from my Boss late Friday arvo saying 'Stop Selling!' it was sweet!

So today I'm going to allow myself a moment to celebrate a much-needed win! Long may it continue.

    Congratulations Millie
    I think it takes a special talent to be able to sell and looks like you have it... There was a saying in my family... 'You could sell the Milk out of a Milk Arrowroot Biscuit'.. hehehe just joking. You must know your stuff to achieve such great results... good for you... take a rest and enjoy!! xx JUlie
