I got a job!

[Swifty1638]

I'm now the new account manager for Micalan Group Inc. We are based in Golden Valley, off 55. We are the handshake and smile for companies like verizon, att, mapquest, google, intuit group (make turbotax, smarttax, etc, and those machines you slide your credit card through). The group I work with is Quill, a staples company. Quill is the largest and oldest company for office supplies in North America. We supply paper, ink, pens, staples, cartriges, etc etc to offices, businesses. We also supply gloves and other medical supplies to chiropractors, doctors, dentists, orthos, etc. Basically, anything you'd use, we supply. Most businesses use a company or another to get their supplies, but Quill is able to beat most everyone's prices by atleast 10%. When buying in bulk, that adds up, and sometimes it's more. Anyway, I start off as an account manager, and it's 4 weeks of training. Then, I move up to account executive, then assistant manager 4 months later, then executive marketing manager, usually average 8-10 months later. Starting pay is between $550-$700 a week, but then it goes up, all the way to that executive manager position, paying $110,000 a year-7-10k a week! I know some may think that's not a whole lot, but for not having any backround in this field, nor really going to school for business, that's a lot to a guy like me. Anyway, The guy who hired me today, has been there for 5 years, and makes around 1.2 mil a year. I was suprised, because he's 27 yrs old, but I guess that doesn't matter! Hell, I beat out 116 other people at this location for the job, and they all where older( late 20's, 30's even 40's!). I'm nervous, and excited to start, but I guess any paycheck is better then none, and I've never seen the ability to move up in a company as fast. There's more to it, but I won't bore you all. Basically, I'm just happy i've FINALLY got a damn job, after not having one for about a month!

So do have to go around and solicit for business? If so, I'm sorry to say I know what type of job this is, and it takes a HIGHLY motivated person to do well. If this isn't the type of position you have to go door to door to get business then it sounds like it's worth a shot, give'r hell! :D

Sounds like a salesman position.
Good luck.
If you pull it thru, you DEFINITELY will be making all the big bucks.

Again, Congrats and goodluck.

Hate to burst your bubbles but 110k a year doesn't add up to make 7-8k a week. You need to go back to math class.
Dsmstyle is correct, you will need to be very out going for this job. Good luck man. What does Cher think about you working closer to him? j/k

I had 2 younger guys basically barge into my house the other week, trying to give me "free carpet shampooing" and whatever. I finally had to be rude to them and tell them to get out of my house. I knew if I let them do a little free cleaning, it would lead to some other sales pitch. I hate that shit. But I suppose it works on some people. I just had to tell them I want nothing from them, and they need to get out of my home at once.

I wish you the best of luck. There are multiple companies out there right now doing the same thing, in terms of promising big money making opportunities by working with Fortune 500 companies. In the end, does it work? >95% of the people live on hopes and dreams. <5% of the people actually make the big bucks. Spending some time on Google not only makes this company appear to be a pyramid scheme, but also produces these:
