My dream job: An MSP Padawan’s journey from retail hell to IT heaven
-
This is an example of my sales dominance over others. This was week two of our 2013 fiscal year. I think this was run on Tuesday or Wednesday. The reporting period is just set to say when to look from and to. But this was mid-week sometime I ended up doing just over 4K myself that week. They had like $7002 in sales. I set a store record for week of 2/3-2/9, broke it on this week's and then almost broke that the week after this one.

I left the botttom name intact. He committed suicide, very sadly, about a month or so after this. That's a different story for another time though...

@scottalanmiller EasyTech was the department. Easy was a title. So I was the Expert for the department. An Easy Certified Technician is just someone who works in tech. I agree. Their naming sucked. Easy is obviously the Staples schtick. But from the time I started at Staples I wanted to be the ET Expert. I did hit that goal.
It's odd that you were an "Easytech" and they were just "Easy".

@scottalanmiller In reality, that picture isn't 100% accurate. The official corporate term WAS "EasyTech Certified Technician" but that sounds klunky. It was rarely used in the official manner. And then we had the Resident Tech who was actually supposed to be the technical one. I was both, technically. But ET Expert was a training/supervisory role over the others to teach them how to sell and engage customers. That was the official job description. They weren't meant to be technical, by the paper description. Rarely was that the case though.

I'm sure you do. Notice, not past tense.

Everyone has to start somewhere. I honestly wouldn't trade that experience. If I had to go back and do it all over, I would have never broken up my tenure. I would have been there from the day I started on July 28, 2010 straight through to when I left June 1, 2013. I used that job as training. Made a lot of noob mistakes because I was new to the workforce. It helped me get a lot of wrinkles sorted about so I didn't make those while in professional IT.
