how to hate your job and excel. Christians Tell all on How to achieve Marketplace Success Written by Will Mean Bellevue narrated by Adrian Jenkins. Chapter one. How did I end up here? We've all had jobs where we felt like we did not belong. I felt like that from the time I was 17 when I was working at a mortgage company, getting paid $10 an hour. I had a whole bunch of colleagues who are high on weed ecstasy or a mix of something unknown to sell mortgages. I read from a script that encourage people to give me their dates of birth, their Social Security numbers and addresses. That information was sent to loan officers who would then close the sale. I was 17. This was a training job, hoping the learned to go report with people. But how did I get people who did not know me to give me all off their personal information? I learned to study their tones of voice, listen to the background and pay attention to their speaking patterns in orderto identify an element that I could use his bait for conversation. I think it is a gift cold, discerning This is not from the Bible per se, but I succeeded in this position by looking for people's needs. I still use this technique today. I see people's needs oozing out of them. Someone may have the need to be controlled. The need to be right, The need to be affirmed, the need to feel superior. We need to be in authority. They need to feel or look rich. The need to be ignored, the need for family, the need for companionship, the need toe win. They need to feel like they have a voice. I learned to listen to people speaking, and my greatest strength became and still is my ability to listen to their needs. Once I was able to detect the need, I was able to ask questions and provide solutions to the need need plus solution equal sale. When I worked in Tele Sales, they told us to listen to the background noise based on the noise that we heard. Whether it was a sound of a child quieting the television or silence, we would create a topic of discussion based one that I think it's complicated to develop discernment. You either have the gift or you don't back on topic. Although this job was not commission based, if one was not producing, you would get the X. This job was also bias. I went from having one supervisor who was to Lex to having a supervisor who was a function in pocket. Everyone was entitled to 2 15 minute breaks. But if you wanted an additional break, you had to have what I call high able substance between church, my parents, the fear of **** and watching the news. I was too scared to smoke, so I never took breaks and made sure I met all my sale goals. But after graduating college, I thought I was another level. I thought I was too good toe work. A $10 per hour job with grown five year olds in my head. I thought that I would work with responsible adults with degrees hot. That was a joke. Little did I know the pain that I would encounter, working with responsible adults who were jealous and envious of me. Little did I know that the more you get, the more personality problems you encounter. Regardless of the pay scale. Proverbs 14 12 states there is a way that seems right to man, but in the end, it leads to death. I say this because sometimes the very thing we try to avoid is what we need to grow us up. Sometimes I will. Good intended path is actually a divergence. Chapter two, the jewelry store. I always felt my brain cursing me out when I worked in the jewelry store because I was so bad at man. I still count with my fingers. We had to place to jewelry out on the floor and count each item that was out there. I often lost count of the jewelry. It was a system overload for my brain, and I couldn't handle it when this happened. I acted like I needed to use the bathroom and would let the person up on the floor do the counting. I hated jewelry sales because I was pretty much begging people to buy. Furthermore, this jewelry store was located anymore with arrival store right across from it, which made it even harder to sell. My job was to look good, but with my eyes and act like I was given out good prices. How much is this? A person would ask And although they say not to judge a book by its cover 9.5 out of 10 I could tell what kind of customer a person was by just away they x The question People in sales develop 1/6 sense for hogwash, fluff and falseness! A true sales person can see past the exterior. Someone can dress up in all sorts of hi and name brains and be broke. I have seen women with hair on their head worth more than the level of education in their brains. I have also seen people with this spending power off endless 80 ends dressed in rags or in bland simplicity. Again, it's a gift you can tell by a person's walk countenance and facial expression if they are ready to spend. And no matter what their intent, if you can discover their needs, you can get them to spend. I have come, of course, customers from every culture in this industry. There was the cheap Islander islander with the chunky jewelry, the fake though the smooth, though with his homies, the police officer with the mysteries the family man police officer allowed Italian woman yelling the typical Joey's the miserable men who gives his wife everything. The pathetic man who gives his wife everything. The independent woman who goes out of her way to buy a standalone item. The independent women who is really not independent. The poor couple who are really, truly in love with one another. The power couple who are in love with each other and the diamond. The person who buys an item and returns it immediately after the receipt prints out and the person who just stares for 20 minutes to an hour at any time at a particular item. This kind of person would make me take every single item out, then walked out with nothing after two hours, only to come back a few days later. The unattractive person who swears to be God's gift to mankind the attractive person who really looks like God's gift to mankind but who is a jerk, the entitled person, the rich or the per person who wants free items or discounts because of their status. There were also the customer friends who told me everything about their lives and who would in turn give me advice. And oddly enough, whoever it waas would always end the conversation with their young. You have time. I have been told this since I was 15. I guess I will forever be young. I also had customers who were yellows. Regardless of the culture, people yell. He is just a snippet of some of the things people would yell at me. What $1000 said meaning back pressure today. Which means do you understand in Hebrew rial gold with hands in the air during the day? Real, though this person truly doubted the authenticity of gold in my head, I always thought, Why the H e double hockey sticks? Would you be in a legitimate jewelry store if you didn't think it was really titanium? People usually go with this option if they cannot afford gold and don't like silver. Titanium is a better quality than silver. It is corrosion resistant. It's more lustrous than silver and has a grayish tint. Gaisal que eso means What is this in Spanish? I know this phrase Well, as I had to describe half the items in the store before I could take an item of jewelry out of the case, the customer was onto the neck. Okay, so, jeez, oblique Jesus may soon come. Translation. Oh, my God, Jeez, I'll be right back. Many times it was sitting that order, and they never came back. Is that a fugazy? This is from the movies such as Donnie Brasco or The Wolf of Wall Street. Benghazi means fake. It's an insult call in someone or something. A four Ghazi is calling them beyond think or dirt, you know. Yeah, is just a slang urban term. I wouldn't know where to start. When it comes to explaining this word, it's equivalent to a yes or hey, a company with a raising the roof hand motion. He saw Blandi in creo. This means What did the white person just say when I spoke in creo with Haitian customers? Often times, my supervisor would come by and say, Tell them about our specials. Tell them we will take 20%. Is that a cubic zirconium? Cubic zirconia is the proper word, but unfortunately many people pronounce it improperly. I still cringe when people pronounce it the wrong way. So love these people, they knew what they wanted. If only everyone was so diverted. That lets goes on, and it's giving me a headache. Even now, just to think about it. As a college student, I thought I was above the jewelry store job. I had just graduated college with a journalism degree, and looking at price tags was not what I expected to do. I was angry because I was under paying, but I was angrier that I had to beg people to buy from me. I was so angry at this job that I was not attracting any positivity to me, only negativity. I was even embarrassed to go on breaks because I didn't want anyone to see me. I didn't want them to know that I work at the mall. Proverbs 29 23 New international version state that a man's pride brings him low, but a man of lowly spirit gains honor. The road to raining is a downward room. As Christians, we like to talk about sitting in high places or being blessed when we look at the New Testament of the Bible and focus on humility, character, sanctification and sacrifice to be 100% honest with you. It's hard reading the New Testament. Its teachings goes against my human nature and makes me doubt if I have what it takes to be a Christian. How do I conquer everything at once? Below is a passage from Romans 12 11 20 Good news translation that stuck out to me along with some of the raw thoughts I had while reading. Emphasis given to certain phrases is mine. Work hard and do not be lazy. Regardless, if you like your job or not, serve the Lord with a heart full of devotion. Let your hope keep you joyful. Be patient in your troubles and pray at all times. Share your belongings with your needy fellow Christians and open your homes to strangers. Ask God to bless those who persecute you. Employees, supervisors and colleagues. Yes, that loves them, too. Yes, ask him to bliss not to curse. Be happy with those who are happy. Weep with those who weep. Have the same concern for everyone, even the ones you don't care about. Do not be proud, but except humble duties, even the lowest of job descriptions do not think of yourselves as wise. I am that wise, Really. If someone has done you wrong, do not repay him with a wrong. I want to scream. Why not God? Try to do what everyone considers to be good. Do everything possible on your part. Live in peace with everybody. What about people trying to live peacefully with me? Why am I always going out my way? Never take me. Arrange my friends, but instead let God's anger doing what the scripture says. I will take revenge. I will pay that, says the Lord. Instead, As the Scripture says, If your enemies are hungry, feed them. If they are thirsty, give them a drink. Four. By doing this, you will make them burn. Witching. Do not let evil beef eat. You instead conquer evil with good. Oh, ****, I give up. I don't think I could do this. God can only help those who are honest with himself. When I share with my best friend my role conversation with God, she guessed you talk to God like that practically with tears in her eyes. Yes, I do. I see What's wrong with that? That is my friend, right? As much as I did not want to be any particular job, I played a role in my own negative experience as well. Because I was so invested in what I didn't want, couldn't see what was going on right in front of me. My colleagues and customers were literally stealing from me right under my nose. I was so distracted by my misery that I didn't realize that they were on Lee stealing when I worked at one point, my manager even acts the employees to take money out of their own pockets when the register was strong. After my boss told me to take money out of my own pocket to put in a register that I didn't steal from, I decided to leave. Well, what really happened was that I told my mom, who then decided to have an unannounced conversation with my supervisor. I'm not kidding when I tell you that I felt like I was melting When I saw my colleagues laughing at me. I thought I was grilled cheese. My mom told my supervisor that I was overqualified, overeducated and raids to be better. Nice supervisor agree. She told my mom that I was very naive and that she knew that I was not the one who stole the money. So you call on your mom, you will. One of the colleagues left while he was putting the jewelry away. I'm going to tell my kids about this. That was my last day of work at that place. Shortly thereafter, the thief was discovered to be one of the top sellers. She usually worked the later shifts where she would close the store when they stop to do the math in made sense.
