Home Depot makes use of sales management training
Posted by in BusinessThe previous sales management training I received on my other job has actually allowed me to survive in this economic black hole. Though I was one of the many who got fired from my previous job, I am grateful for the time I spent there as it helped me to get another job almost two weeks after being fired.
It is at a smaller company, but my wages haven’t been cut down that much, I have health insurance, and most importantly, I am doing the thing I love, which is sales. I can sell anything. I don’t care what it is. Right now, I’m working with a large nursery, with Home Depot actually. Though I don’t have to get my hands physically dirty, there has been a lot of work involved.
Home Depot might actually spend the money on those of us in the lower tiers of the company (in comparison to the other above us, we’re pretty small time) with corporate team building programs. I’m excited about it because I love to learn new things that will help me be a better salesperson in any way I can be. I think part of the reason I’m able to sell anything is that I like to learn new things. If there’s a quality product, then I can sell it. I’m learning all sorts of new things at my latest job. In fact, I actually got a tiny little Venus flytrap, but so far, nothing has landed in it that I can see.
I’m also learning a lot about cactus since my job is set out in the Southwestern parts of the United States. I was surprised that people seem to buy so much of it. I would think they would be sick of it from seeing it out in the desert, but it’s popular for its water conservation properties, and if you get the right kind, it’s prickly fruit. You can actually make jam out of the stuff. With all these facts, I’ve been better able to train people. You never know when whatever you have learned will come in handy, from facts about cactus to sales.
