This is a good read. Thanks for sharing it. You have more patience and perseverance than I would have. When I was getting my feet wet in outside pharmaceutical sales, the company assigned an assistant to me that was smoking hot. She took over my schedule, without my asking, began calling my customers for what she called happy check ups, kept cold bottles of water and healthy snacks for me and other reps she represented. It was over the top. It was hard to complain because she meant well and, was smoking hot. Then, she started making cold calls and lining up new accounts. It was wonderful and weird at the same time. Then, one day when the boss was at lunch, she moved into an empty outside sales cubical and promoted herself to outside account rep. She even arranged for a temporary to take over her spot. The other guys and I thought she'd get fired for sure. Nope. The boss let her do it. She ended up bringing new accounts into the company and doing very well. She kicked my ass on monthly sale totals a few times. It was like she owned all of us. If she hadn't been so young and pretty, she probably wouldn't have gotten by with it. After I left the company, I heard she ended up marrying one of the executives of the company.
