I’ve always given my all to help my customers and reps. Its a point of pride to be able to take care of them and make them look good to their peers. But now that I am training my sales replacement so I can concentrate on marketing, I’m finding myself struggling.
Its almost like reading a text book at bed time…I know it is important, the info is good, and it has to get done, but, how the mind wanders and gets sleepy. My most efficient time right now is when my replacement is here training with me a couple hours a day. Its weird to be promoted out of a job and suddenly find that you feel like you can’t do that ‘old’ job up to standard.
Why is this? Perhaps its because my goals have already changed. Or finally getting a sense of completion and release after so many years of just continually juggling from order to order. Whatever it is, it just makes me feel incompetent right now. Must…push…self…harder.
