I would like a job where I can work from home, one or maybe two days a week, starting no earlier than 10 am. Travel is not possible unless it's warm, I can take family, and the hotel offers more amenities than I have at home.I am a very good sales person, who doesn't do forecasts. I work cooperatively with people, but hate to sit in forecast rooms, where people who aren't great sales people give you ideas to help close business that they've never actually tried themselves.

Travel is not possible unless it's warm, I can take family, and the hotel offers more amenities than I have at home.I am a very good sales person, who doesn't do forecasts. I work cooperatively with people, but hate to sit in forecast rooms, where people who aren't great sales people give you ideas to help close business that they've never actually tried themselves. For the most part, these ideas would embarrass both you and the customer. These are people who don't understand that if you do a forecast late Friday afternoon, and then again first thing Monday morning, that probably nothing will have changed. If any prospect phoned on the weekend, or forwarded the contract on Sunday, the forecasters would have been notified first thing Monday morning without a meeting.Fortunately, most of the people I worked for were smarter than that, and a some were smarter and better sales people than me. I learned so much from those people.For those who were either emotionally unable to deal with me, because of your own issues, or because you put your own interests above everyone else, including me, you still make a great story for me to tell at parties and events. I learned even more from you.I had a tremendous time, however, for most of my career. There were so many people who helped me along the way. I cannot possibly repay the debt I owe you. I also learned the most from you.For those who became my friends during this time, I'm still available for lunch, and I'll try and be nicer.I really am indebted to those people who gave me a hand up. Everyone I have ever worked with falls into one of the three categories above, and both you and I know which one. You are sincerely thanked here for your contributions. Show less

SAP is the inventor of Best Practices. When I first went to SAP, I used to joke that what Best Practices meant was "do it our way". After almost 5 years, I understood that this was exactly what it meant. It was a great ride. SAP is a first class organization, with zeal for successful growth, and most importantly, for customer satisfaction. Given that most of the implementations of SAP are managed by third parties, their success rate is phenomenal.
