Self-Talk

Hi Ron,

I know you're pressured and stressed right now. Rey's leaving and you only have a week to learn from him. But you know Rey. Like what he said, he won't spoon feed you. Unfortunately, that's the very thing you need at this time. What do you know about sales anyway? But he won't. He doesn't have the patience to do it. Aminado siya rito. And you don't expect him to do that, do you? What for? You're not even his closest of friends. He doesn't have enough motivation to put some more effort into training you. The turn over is still not done. The data and knowledge he shared so far are not to the level you've expected since the day you were told you'd be his replacement.

So you're lost. And worried. And exhausted. Plus, the mathematics involved. Oh my! It's not your field of interst, you know that. The mere sight of numbers make your eyes bleed. But you got to befriend them (numbers). Learn from them. Analyze them. You have no choice as these are part of the demands of your new responsibility. Sir Jojo and Boss Tony trust you. Your colleagues count on you to ensure they will get salary for the month.

So you're lost, stressed, pressured, harassed, exhausted. But you know what to do to compensate for your weakness right? You have to rise above your situation - to overcome the challenge being a salesman, an effective salesman, poses to you. Let me see your to-do list. Ahh.. at least, you've got some of the most important right:

(1) prioritize tasks (2) manage time and (3) be more organized

So help me God!
