My day started bright and early, but I was actually late to work due to holdups at the DMV (what a wonderful place). I ended up getting in about 45 minutes late, but I was still waiting on Angela to log me in to Archtics, the software used to actually complete sales so I could fully sell tickets. While I waited, I got set up at my desk, made sure I had my notes ready, and got prepared for a call I had scheduled yesterday with a potential buyer. Angela quickly logged me in and gave me the basic tour of the system, and I was off. However this tour wasn’t comprehensive, so I had to figure out a few things myself, namely finding the seats and then putting in payment information.
At 1130, I got on my call with my client, and I completed my first ticket sale! There were technical difficulties that almost stopped me, but Angela graciously helped me work through them. It was a great feeling getting to write the number 1 on the board, showing that I had really progressed during my time here, getting to do all the big responsibilities and tasks others do.
Cool event of the day, Nazmi Albadawi, club favorite and recent signee, stopped by our offices to say hello to the people he knew and meet the new employees since he left, including me. He’s a very cool guy, and seems to be a model member of the team.
