My sales career began in 1987 with a company called Austin Diversified Products (ADP), where I sold cleaning solutions under the strict supervision of the owner, Nathan T. Edwards. It was my first exposure to the fast-paced world of sales, and it laid the foundation for the skills that would shape my career.
After my time with ADP, I left Chicago and returned to California, settling in Costa Mesa at the Red Roof Inn. The life of an outside salesperson is adventurous, and my journey had its own unique twists.
I often found myself working in communities where celebrities lived. One of my most memorable moments was stumbling upon Flip Wilson’s house on Pacific Coast Highway. Not long after, I found Christopher Penn’s residence—yes, Sean Penn’s brother.
Every workday felt like a treasure hunt, and I loved the thrill of discovering who I might encounter next.
During this time, I was also introduced to the world of "Hot Shot Chevy," where I gained invaluable long-term skills—learning how to sell effectively, read customers, overcome objections, meet and exceed goals, and, most importantly, make money.
These skills became the cornerstone of my success in sales, allowing me to transition seamlessly into the corporate world.
If you’ve ever met anyone who has supervised me, they will all have stories about the commissions and kickbacks "they" received as a result of my hard work.
One of the positions I valued most was my time with Dun & Bradstreet. During my brief residency in Tucson, Arizona, from May 2016 to June 2017, I excelled, maintaining the Top Sales ranking for three consecutive months.
However, my time in Arizona took a dark turn. My experience was overshadowed by an unfortunate encounter with Scottie Pippen and his crew.
Their hostility and competitive fear led to my forced departure from the state. The stress took a toll on my health, ultimately resulting in a full hysterectomy—losing my ability to reproduce.
That was the final straw. Heartbroken and physically drained, I made the decision to relocate to Las Vegas, seeking a fresh start.
And just when I thought my story had taken all its twists and turns, I found myself at a party with Chris Brown at Drai’s. The energy was electrifying. The lights, the music, the crowd—was it all cheering for me?
Oh yeah, I can build this city in my dreams.
Stay tuned for the next chapter..
See what happened was...
