Got a new job today!!

[DarkWing6]

I got hired on at Griot's Garage (www.griotsgarage.com) toady. I will be answering phones and selling their car care products over the phone. The coolest part is my training. I get to bring my car in and detail it using all their products, and I get paid to do it!!!

Where is Griot's? (and how do you pronounce it?)

[DarkWing6]

I think it is pronounced Gree-oze (or at least thats how sounds). It is located in Fife, WA. Near the BMW stealer and I-5 Motors. They ship all their stuff out of Indiana cause most of the customers are east coast, so it makes shipping to them faster. They have a small retail store where I work, but most of their sales are mail order. Go to their site and order the catalog. It's full of good stuff.

did you have any past experiance that caught there eye? I may want to do something like that just for fun + cash. Would be even better if it was an auto body repair!

I have sold fireworks and worked as a lot attendant at a car dealership. So I guess I know how to clean cars (know the product) and I have done some sales. I really don't know how important all that was. Good referances. Always ask a previous employer for a letter of recomendation if you leave on good terms. I had one of those from a sales manager at my previous job.

R3v discount?

We will see. Let me get started before I ask if all my friends can have discounts. :D

I added the "s".

I get all my car care products from them. Really great stuff, but not what you'd call cheap.

[DarkWing6]

worth the $$ IMO

Rob, who are you kidding? You don't wash your car.
