Retail

When do trust a company enough to start a business deal together? I am dealing with a group in another state that has to focus on their future in what they are trying to do. Planning a great business to place product in side of so many retail locations is very hard to understand for anyone this process took me 24 years to grasp a hold of. I believe that if everyone understood what I do they would try to do it them self but in the end they call me back and and say Mr. Gandolf place the product for me and then pay the fee's I have set up to do business and place the product. Yes my friends retail is very detailed as a wise Mr. Sullivan told me while he and I was structuring a campaign on sales and placement of a video recording tapes in side of just about 4,278 stores. Mr. Sullivan caught me being tired and not wanting to finish the project for the day. I think I was just around 22years old at the time in my life. Mr. Sullivan said to me I thought you wanted to be in retail Jimmy? I said I do I do but I am wiped out from all the travel and dealing with all the store managers. I realized how stupid I being to my boss at the time;and then sparked up as he was looking at me with a strange look on his face like are you complaining all the sudden. I do enjoy retail all the planning and all of the rolling out of a brand and the training for the support team the advertising and the promotions that go on for the actual customer to buy the product. My Grandfather,s were very detailed people from grandpa Licho as to understand business from all levels from store fronts to distribution from grandpa Gandolf. I have been involved in retail for so long its hard to understand that its a fun at times so the phrase from Mr. Sullivan 21 years ago "I thought you wanted to be in retail Jimmy"? Is so powerful in my mind from such a great man that is one of my serious mentor of my retail world. I truly have grown to real love taking projects from start to finish in the way that the products needs to be real not in any planning stage. I want the product ready to go on the shelf. I thank my father for not letting me be a quitter, he has truly made me finish everything I have started. Business is crazy at times but I keep praying for everyone to be on a straight line and then we all walk it when we do business together. I get real projects done and keep on moving with the lord. That's what I pray for everyone in the world to do the same.I remember on a funny note I had on boss when I was younger call me you on a Saturday( on a big ugly bag cell phone) and say where are you? I said at my aunt Jackie's at a cook out, Mr. Z said you are not at work? I said do I have a meeting? Mr. Z said we work all the time its retail promotion people shop everyday. I did get the hint that was 17 years ago.
