Another Week Of This in Life As I Know It - 2022

So, yeah....

I never thought I’d find myself so unhappy with this job, especially considering how hopeful I was about it. I’m so thoroughly disgusted with the whole thing. Not to mention hurt and disappointed.

Tim kept telling me how wonderful and great I am, and how I was going to be his best ISA ever once I was trained up. This is the start of my 4th week. And Friday I got a call from him saying that I’m too far behind where I should be, and that he’ll give me until this Friday to get it together.

Ok, for one, my target, is 15 good contacts a day. Meaning I speak to 15 homeowners and try to get their listing. I make 600-700 calls a day. And I might speak to 3 homeowners!!! EVER!!! Thats all I’ve ever been able to get. The rest are hangups and voicemails. Or just plain bad numbers. But a majority of them are leaving voicemails. I’m expected to get 3 appointments set this week. I only have gotten 2 appointments in the last 3 weeks. So there’s no way I’m going to set 3 appointments OR get 15 good contacts/day.

Meaning I’ll be losing my job by Friday.

I’ve put in an application for where Pat works. Angi list. He sells the platform to business owners. I listen to him every day and it doesnt seem that difficult. It’s all cold calling though which does take a different approach. But I’ve cold called lawn care services, soooo......I think I can do this.

It’s not what I wanted, but I need to work, and I need to work from home. I’m really enjoying working from home.

Oh and secondly, I haven’t gotten anywhere near enough training on this job. His words are “here’s the basics, the rest you’ll just have to figure out because you’re an independent contractor”. Yet I’m not really given all the tools I need in order to figure things out for myself. It’s been extremely frustrating for me.

I was in tears most of the evening on Friday because of all of this. I’m just really hurt and disappointed. He’s made me completely re-think my dreams of being a realtor. Is that even what I want to spend the money and time doing? Am I even good enough to bother with it? Honestly I still don’t know. It’s what I WANT to do, but am I even smart enough of capable enough to do it????

Thats what hurts the most. Is feeling like someone is destroying my dreams after telling me how wonderful I am.
