Xmas slump…

Increasingly good times at work!

Over the last two months or so I’ve found myself increasingly demotivated at work. Hardly any of the incentives or ideas I bought to the store were working, we weren’t increasing accessory sales or insurance. Maybe it was bad timing what with the economy going down the pan and so on, but still, it didn’t make for an impressive start at the store.

The other downside of this was that while concentrating on helping the team sell more stuff, I was hardly selling anything.

This essentially made me the most miserable assistant manager in the whole of Carphone Warehouse over the Xmas period and only recently has it been remedied.

How? I hear you ask…

I’ve given up on doing anything managerial and gone back to purely selling. The only difference being my name badge looks slightly mincier. The result? The store figures appear to be on the up.

Its early days yet, and now I’ve posted this and its been picked up by Googles search bots and archived for time eternal I’m sure it’ll prove to be disastrously wrong. But heres hoping!
