I went to the convention today, more so a long.. all afternoon meeting in a conference room.
It wasn't that bad, except it felt a little like a brain washing, with the big wigs saying "If you aren't successful, you have to look deep inside".
I wanted to meet with Keith.. to discuss our strategy for how we are going to get this 100 man account. Keith said we don't have to meet, saying "I'm" (Keith) is going to do all the talking, and you )Mitch) are going to be quiet. We're going to get this account". Fine. Great. Fantastic.
Then I think.. because of the timing.. before the meeting.. will be Hell.
As everyone knows, my father';s favorite day,. Father's Day, is next Sunday. I know we will be spending it with Cheryl, my father's son in law, et al.
With as rude as all of those people have been to me, telling me to "Get a job", as I've been doing everything in my power to try and make this insurance business successful, they basically are the last people I should be around next week.
I wish I could tell my dad that I just want to see him alone, because of the magnitude of how big the meeting that following Wednesday will be. I do not want to hear any negativity before that meeting, and anyone saying "If you don't get this account, you should get a job".
I get very pissed at Keith, because of the limitations he puts on me, with the types of accounts/people, I can bring to him, and his demeanor sometimes, but one thing he has never been, is negative about Aflac.
I know it's 12 days away, its just.. so big.. that it could be the change in my insurance career going from being a struggle, to being very successful. . I stupidly brought it up in the meeting today, not even knowing Keith was sitting in the row behind me. The instructors were impressed, saying something like "That sounds huge, Good Luck".
I'll know I've turned a corner if I can even sign, part of this firm.
Sigh! I don't know what to think.
