It's so great to see that there are still quite a few of us that started as youngsters in the industry! I started selling for Clark in 1974 and have worked in sales and sales management at the dealer level and also worked for OEM's at a mid and senior management levels. I am still working! I remember many years ago when I was a "newbie" salesman, attending my first national sales meeting, one of the top Clark National Account Salesman told me "kid (yes he did call me kid!) you are going to find that you either love this business or hate it. If you love it you will see a lot of interesting things and learn how quite a few things are made. You will also meet a lot of nice and some not so nice people and you will make a decent living." He continued "if you hate it don't kid yourself, get the **** out"! He was right! I guess I loved it as I'm still working in the industry or maybe I'm just a ****!
