this is a cool little site.

Anyone have

a cell phone that's Cell One capable, accepts SIM cards and works... that they could let me borrow and/or buy super cheap?

Approved..

to do the VLOG! I should probably start a separate blogspot for this, though? I mean.. i have my rbedfordpro one, but that's relatively inactive now that my focus is changing to doing a great job at where I am.. (Vann's) This one is more of a personal venue, not that I use it overly much for that.. :-P

What would be an obvious and catchy name for a blog that's primary purpose is hosting my vanns vlog?

First day

of training is complete! These are going to be some long hours, lemme tell ya. Its about an 8 to 7 shift, 5 days a week. More starting soon when we switch to +half day on Sunday. I'm still excited about the job though. A lot. I like the idea of "helping" more than "selling." I'm hoping to do a couple of the 'instructional' things tomorrow and 'job shadow' a couple of the guys on the floor.

I have a ton of stuff to learn, and only a small part of it is the products / models / features... most of it involves the questions to ask, the paperwork/program we use, the garnering of clientele... and the list goes on. Remembering to tell about warranties, cables, power management... Wheee!!!! :)

Serious consideration

is what I'm giving to the idea of doing a vlog. Probably something once a week, maybe shoot on Monday and then edit at night, post it Tuesday morning.

VLOG includes:

1) Upcoming sales.
2) Video shots of product.
3) Events happening in the store that week.
4) Special packages that I put together.

Every once and awhile (monthly?) I could have someone else 'featured,' and have them talk a bit.

Later features could include:
1) Coolest new feature.
2) "Did you know: " tip
3) Coolest old feature.
4) .... any ideas, reader(s)?

I wonder if

doing vlogs in the mornings would help me drum up some clients?

I still can't believe...

its not butter!

I officially start my new position on Monday. Things I'm liking already:

1) Vann's views its "customers" as clients. To me, this means that the process of selling/buying is much more involved, much more personal... much more better.
Than even butter!
We work more on a relationship than "Sell this item to that person and move on." As a relational guy, I'm looking forward to developing a client base. :)

2) Our products rock. Seriously! I've been installing them now for the last month and we sell good stuff. Good quality, good prices, good support. (And don't forget to pick up a warranty, its well worth it)

3) I'm going to get to learn a LOT of stuff!!!
