]]> Comment on Balanced Life Wheel by Hayley Solich http://www.claycook.net/2008/11/04/balanced-life-wheel/#comment-342 Hayley Solich Thu, 03 Jun 2010 03:58:46 +0000 http://claycook.wordpress.com/?p=96#comment-342 Thanks, Clay. I would like to think that at the end of my life I could look back without regret. Not because I've never done anything to regret but because I've given myself permission to try and whatever my choice is that I make it was the best decision I made at the time. Our perception of life changes from one moment to the next. Keep thinking...keep writing...that's the beauty of living and sharing our existence with one another! Hayley Thanks, Clay.

Not sure if it was intentional, but your comment is suggesting that I don't hire "fat or unattractive" sales people. This is completely wrong. It doesn't matter if you are fat, unattractive, or both. I don't care. As long as you have confidence and a bit of cockiness - and can do the job bloody well - you're hired! ;) Cheers Clay Deb – thanks for the comment.

Just because they are fat or a bit unattractive does not mean they can not be a good or excellent sales person

I am overweight but boy can i do my job well
My last firm Suncorp/Gio gave me ago and i was one of their better sales people

As a teenager/young adult i was given a weekend/part time sales job
The attractive nice figured girl was given the full time job
The boss regretted it in the end as she relied on her looks and couldn’t sell anything
I made more for him part time than she made full time and he had to pay her a lot more

By the time he realised his mistake and offered me a full time job i had already found another job and left

Give imperfect people a go and see what happens
You might just be surprised
