Hello...I'm Jimmy McGee...Ex Furniture Salesman!

Why am I making a blog about my past experiences as a furniture salesman? Well, it's not a blog totally about selling furniture...it's going to be little about everything.

I was recently "let-go" from my job of 3 years of selling furniture at a major furniture store. Seems I rubbed a few people the wrong way, including the owners. I seem to do that alog...rub people the wrong way.

To top that off, a week after I got fired, my girlfriend of 3 years left me. Ex furniture store salesmen don't make a lot of money when they're not selling furniture!

Anyway, over those 3 years I learned alot about the furniture business (hey, I see you, stop yawning!), customer service and about life in general. I loved selling furniture of all types. I am a furniture junky, my favorite being retro floor lamp I bought some years ago as it come in to our showroom. I just had to have that floor lamp!

I'll share some of these life lessons with you in the upcoming post! Thanks for stopping by and feel free to leave a comment, I'd appreciate it. Seems I have plenty of time on my hands now that I don't have a job!
