Actually I was told I did not get the promotion because the manager felt that I was going to get bored at that branch as it was not a challenge and I would more than likely quit because it was too easy of a branch to run and being that I was looking for a challenge or turn around branch that I should try for a "city" office. To address the "car salesman" though maybe if I was wearing gold cufflinks, rings, bracelets and a watch but in my current position I wear a multitude of solid colors and even some pinstriped shirts and I look more professional now that ever in my ERAC whites. It depends on how you carry yourself and the way you prepare for the day. Car salesman are not sales persons either they are reality distorters who instead of providing a product or service they negotiate numbers and get permission from their manager to make deals. Not real sales and also not all car sales people are like that I must add.
