Default Re: I think I f%cked up

I'm the top gross profit earner at my place. Not quite top sales but I really focus on margin. I found out that my sales last year actually made up almost 30% of my company's profits and we have 70 employees. With that being said, I'm always looking for ways to get better at my job and ensure job security. I do everything I can to help the rest of the sales staff get better and earn more. I embrace every change that comes even if I'm uncomfortable with it. It's not my company so, I go with the decisions that are handed down to me. It's easy to get a big head and think you're #1 and the company would sink without you. It's better to appreciate the chance you're given (especially in sales) and think about what's best for the company instead of your own wallet and ego. Oh, and I do in-person cold calling every week. I got one of my best accounts that way.
