14.5 years of service

Thirty five people turned up to Anna’s leaving do. Fourteen and a half years she has given to the company, but now it is time for her to move on. Her photograph album took us back in time to when we were young, keen and enthusiastic. The pictures were of the telephone sales days where we dressed up, evenings out, trips to Disneyland. We did build a great business, a company that was successful and fun to work with. We invested heavily in staff entertainment, at least every month we went out for a few drinks and a meal. We even had Derren Brown, the magician turn up to our offices when he was completely unknown.

The team I have now is much older, no disrespect to them! A sales organisation needs young blood. It needs a highly charismatic leader. It needs nurturing, investment in time, not just commission packages. It’s never to late to build a new hungry team.
