What’s life like for The Sales Guy’s Wife at the end of a quarter when he has >$500-$1M to close on the table? Still. Don’t move an inch. Don’t say anything. Don’t sneeze. Don’t jinx anything. Just shut up and look pretty. Tough for me for a number of reasons, including high humidty and repeated bad hair days.
But, really, I may be more excited for him than his boss for sure. I mean, I really do get a second hand high from when he closes big deals. This time though, if it happens (oh geez… must’ve just jinxed him), that means we get to take some vacation time. Like real vacation time… put down the Blackberry, stop looking at the CRM and, dammit, stop caring about your customers for a few days. Can’t remember the last time that happened.
For some reason, I only come up with things to say about life as The Sales Guy’s Wife at the end of a quarter, a month or a year. It’s like I’m the sandbagger of spousal support unless I change that. Will work on it.. next quarter.
