weird sales

Yesterday, I woke up and climbed out of bed. After a quick shower, I put on a shirt, tie, and dress pants. Quickly, I ate a peanut butter sandwich. Then, I headed out the door and piled into my low budget CRX. I began buzzing down the road, toward Nashville, music city.

I had a job interview at a Honda dealership, to be a car salesman of all things. Now, I have absolutely no experience in commissioned sales. So, I had no idea what to expect.

For three and a half long hours, I rumbled down the four lane road through the fields of Tennessee. As I grew closer to Nashville, the nerves started in. Did I really want this job? What was in store for me? I had no idea.

Finally, I arrived in Nashville. So, following my low budget internet directions, I located the Honda dealership. I walked through the double doors confidently, hoping this could be the opportunity I was looking for.

The interview process was fairly quick. I rambled on about sales, how I see the job as a good fit, and etc. Most of it was sincere. The man interviewing me had no qualms telling me how it really was. "Your boss ever yell at you?" A strange interview question. But, apparently, they like to yell. But, probably not a big deal.

Mike hired me on the spot. I guess I look like good sales material. Who knows? But now, I'm formulating a plan to move to Nashville in the next couple of weeks.

I met a friend of mine for dinner, then I headed back to Athens, three and a half more hours of driving. I guess the trip was worthwhile.
