I told some consultants I met that I would send them an email I had received.
It told a "story" about a lady that went into a kitchen store and asked to speak to the manager/owner. She told him that she wanted a job, but only wanted to work 2 days a week, wanted a sliding commission, and when she sold $20,000 she wanted an automatic raise blah blah blah and the owner responds "there's no job like that!"
Well, I cannot find it :(
Anyone know the little story I am talking about???
