Default I have a new job!

You are now looking at the new Business Account Manager for Newey & Eyre!

(Dont worry i had never heard of them before either! )

So, i will be handing my notice in tomorrow!

Im really sad though as i love my job, but im just barely earning anything!

The new job is nearly 3 times my basic salary where i am now, and there is still opportunities to earn commision!

Sooooooooooooooooooo if any of you sparkies n wot not need any electrical bits and bobs... let me know! ( but not til the new year though! )

NO MORE SELLING! Woohoo! it is basically my job to keep current accounts happy, and make sure they keep ordering! Entertain, and if needs must do a bit of cross selling! Brand new Saab or Vectra SRi as a company car, laptop, mobile but best of all, when im not out with clients, ill be based from home!!!!!

Theyre putting me on the trade counter though for the first 3 weeks so i can learn what products we sell!
