It has been a little over a month since I had left my job as a call center rep (CSR) at Convergys in Chattanooga. There are many people who work there (I'm thinking about 800). I only worked there right at nine months, but this place is a revolving door. There are many people doing an incredible job in a very stressful situation. If you have ever worked in this type of environment, you will know what I'm talking about. If you have never worked in a call center, let me tell you -- it is a position which cannot easily be explained, only experienced. A job like this can stretch a person in many ways including being able to deal with negative people and situations. It is definitely not for the thin-skinned. When I first began, I loved my job. It was more general and easily tolerated. I had been attending college, majoring in Media Technology, and felt that since Directv was a form of mass media, I would like to experience this aspect. It was more than I bargained for, to say the least. As I said, my first position was fun, for the most part because I was just being of service and helping with general questions, etc. But then, I got a so-called "raise" to a positon in Customer Retention. This position entailed customer loyalty and offering customers special incentives to stay. Some customers had already switched to a different provider. There is too much, and would probably be boring for me to go into it, but this position entailed anything that could not be handled by the first department (ACE). There was very little I liked about this second position, but I had no choice in accepting the so called "promotion." Was there anything I liked? I would have to give you a flat "no," except for the fact of knowing that I was supposed to be there for a specific period of time in order to be stretched for what lie ahead. For me, the worst thing was solving technical problems; I had been brought up in a certain way -- and tech was just not one of the things a woman did. I had no interest in tech, and just half-way cringed when I got a customer on the line who had a problem. The calls were not mundane; it seemed that each call was different to some degree. Learning how to deal with their situation as well as developing a relationship with the customer in a short period of time was the goal -- because the company found that this helped lead to customer loyalty, and that was the name of the game -- keeping the customer.
I had developed some type of respiratory problem and had planned my vacation (which, by the way had to be done five weeks in advance). So, my whole vacation was spent in the bed sick. But this gave me plenty of time to think and decide what was my next step. I definitely did not want to stay at a job I hated. I had worked in a home business before, and knew that this was what I wanted to do again because it gave me time freedom and flexibility.
When I left my job, the only money I had was a paycheck for two weeks which was a little over $800. I signed up with Nerium International the very day I resigned. A regional seminar was taking place in Dallas about two weeks away. I heard that still small voice telling me to go ahead and prepare for the trip, that it would be very important to my future. So, I booked the trip and attended the meeting. You might ask where I got the money to go or why I would do that. The reason is because of that still small voice I have heard so many times that never steered me wrong. Miraculously I received a check for $1000 in earnings from another start-up company. That is where the money to pay for the trip came from. So, I knew that decision was right. Now, as far as working the business, I was having difficulties --not because the product or company was not good. It was because I was not operating in the right manner. I learned when I received my success kit that the right way to promote a business is to be the messenger and not the message -- and to let the third-party tools do the work. So, now that I know what I was doing wrong, I expect the future to be much better. I have been using the product now for about 7 days (my other bottles were sold before I could even get to use mine --- I didn't plan it that way; it just happened.
Many people when they start a home-based business have certain ways they want to work the business, but the truth is: if you go by success strategies formed by the company, you are more likely to be successful. I had always wanted to be part of something big. A start-up company which has not reached its full potential is the best route. Now, I had been that route before -- starting with several brand new companies, just to see them fail after I had put my sweat, time and energy into them. I had several big groups with different companies. But now, Nerium being over a year old -- and not have market penetration of saturation, I felt I had a winner. Presently, there is only one product (Nerium AD), but many products will be released. Thirty percent of all profits go towards research. Nerium is a real company with real products. The compensation plan is phenomenal with a way we receive product to replenish our inventory, when we sign up a new preferred customer or brand partner.
Now, when I had worked in the home-based market before, I had a blog (the same one you are reading now). You can look back and see some of my previous posts. So, I knew getting the word out as to what I was doing would lend me more credibility and visibility on the Internet. I knew some of the strategies to get noticed, but I also knew that some people were just searching for a sponsor -- and just because you are noticed, does not mean a prospect will align themselves with you. If you are one of those people who are searching for a good sponsor and an incredibile opportunity -- Nerium is an excellent choice.
