It's the second-to-last day at Sales School. I really don't have much free time to blog normally, but I decided to spend my lunch today writing e-mails to people and writing an entry for the blog.
So far in Sales School I have learned a lot of stuff. The second day I was pretty grumpy for the frist part of the day because I was really sleep deprived, but now things are a lot better, because I am getting a lot more acclimated to the sleep schedule that they keep us on here.
The school is pretty cool, because they divide it up into lots of little segments. We get lots of motivational speeches, practice of our "sales talks," fun and games, entertainment and jokes, group meetings, getting know each other meetings, physical and mental challenges and contest/games where the winner wins $50 or $20 in cash depending on whether you are competing against just your "org" or in the larger group of all three "orgs."
This whole thing is really hard, but it is also really inspiring and fun. I am getting a lot out of it, and I now think that it will be better for me than I had previously anticipated, and I anticipated a lot!
Sometimes, when we are going over things and learning new stuff I think about the people that I know and love back home. I wish some of them could have come with me. I also wish I could do this all again next year too so I can bring back some of my friends and let them have these great experiences too. I don't know if that will happen or not, but it will be cool to see how things play out. Even if I don't come back next year I guess I can still recommend it to people I care about.
I only have about 15 minutes of lunch left and I should probably actually eat something so I am going to end this for now. Hopefully, I'll find spare minutes to write more about what I am doing and maybe even blog someo f the cool stuff I am learning. I've taken tons of notes so far, but I don't think I have taken enough. As they say -- I'm overloaded with information.
