I think Chicago is going to another salesperson. Even if I'm chasing TX/LA customers, remember I'm inside sales with virtually no travel.
Nothing screams "sales" like a face to face Stan!

Morning Stan,

You think Chicago is going to someone else or hoping?

Good morning woods.

Slept in late after being out early this AM on a car accident into water. Not a good ending.

Coffee is on.

Yes, however as inside sales guy, I'll be working in conjunction with our TX/LA reps stationed in that part of the world. You never know what could transpire though.

Looks like all Chicago clientele is being transferred to another inside guy that has experience in that market. This leaves me temporarily unassigned ..... and actually I'm grateful as I get more training time to get up to speed, before being thrown to the wolves LOL.

What is this "training" you speak of.

We were recently acquired by a massive company. Now we have inherited their workload and have zero idea what their system is. But they did teach me how to log in as sick on SAP. So there's that.

Hey Bob,
Yes - this is the first real "training" opportunity I've had since several companies back.
It's on 2 levels, their complex internal operating system and the vast amount of hydraulic component current and legacy information helpful to get a leg up anyway. Grateful for some learning time before going live 100% !
