New career!

Things are looking up!! My new challenging sales career started earlier this week, with training in Indianapolis. I am now selling steel in the Chicago and NW Indiana markets for Westfield Steel and am very excited about this big change in my life. Everything happens for a reason and now I know why I made this move to Illinois last fall. I was having doubts, but this week I know why I made this move!
Next week I will out and about, doing what I do best - calling on new potential customers, opening new doors... new opportunities! Selling steel! HR, CR, lots of processing & value-added, and new to me will be rebar & imbeds for the concrete customers. Lots of opportunity in unchartered territory...
For the first time in the career, I am working for a smaller, family owned business - away from the large corporate structure and am LOVING it! Yes, the sales will grow, the company will grow, but I will feel an important part of all this growth. It's nice to feel appreciated and be able to contribute to the team.
