UPDATE
I promote, promote, and more. Sometimes I wonder what I do it for. It's because I really like what I do. I drive long distances to events, hot spots, clubs, and the such to aware the public of what I'm promoting. Maybe you've seen me hand out a flyer or put up a poster along Main Street or somewhere in HOUSTON. I tend to make myself known. Anyway, I tend to think what this life is really about. I see myself as being blessed and having "hard times".
What I mean is that my job requires that I go to certain malls in HOUSTON and check to see if stores are compliant or not. There's no specific time I have to be there so I can pretty much wake up whenever I want, but I have to be early. I just have to have my reports to the company by the deadline. That's cool. In addition, I also get shoes and clothes to wear into the field (the field describes where I work in the marketing industry).
Anyway, it can be a pain sometimes (what I mean by hard times) because the way I turn in reports is totally by the internet and that's not always reliable. The modem could go wrong and it can slow down the timing when I enter the reports. Also, when doing a job like this, you have to manage your money well. What I mean is the job I do requires that I use my own car. When I go to these different mall locations I have to factor in my own gas until I have received my reimbursement from the company. Then I have to handle some of the store manager's uncooperative attitudes or them trying to slip things by me when they think I'm not paying attention. That's not particularly hard, but it's annoying because I'm only in the store for about 20 minutes at max for the time being and I think they could exercise more patience since they don't have to deal with me on a day to day basis.
Then there's how the promotions part of my job keeps me out late hours. When I worked the field campaign for Reebok Classic Remix I would sometimes be out in the field handing out flyers until 3am! What's the result? I ended up meeting some of the most successful people in entertainment and valuable tastemakers like Manny Fresh and John Singleton. In addition, I was able to promote at the best parties and really reach that core demographic. This took a lot of my time so I had to step back a little and focus on the other side of my job, the compliance and heading Soul Phunk. That puts me in touch with the need to know people in HOUSTON like Jim McIngvale and others. I can't think of the others at this moment, but I've met some. Just check the archive of the blog. Either way, it is good and fun work. I like what I do.
