Take it you are not working for ASDA today Rog?

No Tixy - no ASDA today - got absolutely drenched last night :eek: - back in tomorrow though :sad: :sad:

Am spending today trying to sort out my own business - funnily enough, I'm having 'similar' discussions with one company as 'Horace' had today - fingers crossed.

Horace

Fingers crossed for you rog - your own business has to be better than working for the jolly green giant:D

Thanks, H - at the moment anything would be better than 'the (not so) Jolly Green Giant'. They have informed us that, due to current trading conditions (they have posted record profits) the annual pay award, in October, will be limited to 14 pence an hour - that's about 2%.

Why I said that my discussions were of a similar 'vein' to yours is that I am talking to a Company who wants to represent the machines that I 'used to' sell in the UK. The mutual suggestion would be that I 'join' them, on a self-employed basis, as their 'Technical Sales Manager'. They would cover my expenses, and the 'commission' earnt on the sales of the machinery would be shared. They would be able to provide the technical back up and engineering knowledge, thereby freeing me to concentrate on sales.
I have just about sorted the car 'problem' and hope to sign a gentleman's agreement, rather than a binding contract, with them next week.
As it would be a 'commission' based role, it would, unfortunately, mean that I would have to continue working at ASDA, on a part-time basis, until the sales take off.
On the plus side, I would not have to raise the capital that I would have needed, if I had started entirely on my own.

So, hopefully, some good news, for a change, from me within the next few days.

Horace

Fingers crossed for you Rog...at least you will be able to see an end date for asda when sales pick up.:D

Tixy

Great news Rog, hope it works out well for you, fingers crossed.
Also good news Horace, what sort of work will you be doing for the events company if not weddings?

14p is ridiculous.
