Lady in a Red Dress

Well, that went pretty well. After the two anxiety attacks of course. But other than that? Not a bad day.....

I decided that if I'm going to be "prospecting" I needed a little boost. So...today I wore my new red dress. I love to wear red, and I love this dress. So, that started things off on a good note.

First account? Store closing. Very sad. So I stopped by, said my good-byes and picked up my signs and such.

Next? Cold call to a major furniture store in Rockford. I won't lie to you folks. I was nervous as hell over this. No is No. And Hell No hurts.....

I walked in and five minutes later walked out with not just an appointment but an appointment to set the new line. 9 beds. In 5 minutes.

Holy Shit.

Next? Big reset meeting. We needed to review 2007 and plan 2008. What should have been a 1 hour meeting turned into 3 1/2.

I went from 6 beds to 17. I kicked my old employer off the floor. I gained a 30% market share.

I kicked ass!!!

Then......I went to Fritz's for a glass of wine and a pizza to take home. I walked in and neither bartender OR Fritz recognized me! Huh....maybe I need to actually get dressed more often!!!

SO....even though I still have 3 hours of work left for tonite and need to do reports tomorrow morning and actually work a store on Sunday - I'm pretty flippin' pleased with myself.

Maybe I need to go buy a few MORE red dresses.....
