I will say this-I've been in purchasing for nearly 10 years, so I've been around virtually every sales tactic out there. I do know that while the product/price is somewhat important, it's all for not if the customer things you're a complete jackarse.

While sales hasn't been my background, I've always wanted the opportunity to go into business for myself. I'm tired of working for others because of lost jobs in the past because I've worked for people that couldn't even do my job and prefer to let me go in order to save their behind.

I'm looking for something that I can be my own boss-someone accountable to myself for my performance. I've been through too much in the past to realize that I can do more than everything asked of me and it's still not good enough.
