Once upon a time, 4 women were miraculously brought together (by an unknown cause) to become professional appointment setters (disguised under the alias: Inside Sales). Because they bonded (as teams often do), dressed appropriately, had all their teeth and college degrees, they became known as "the sorority." Like most sororities, this sisterhood had a housemother. Like most housemothers, T thought of the girls as her baby hens. It was her mission to teach them everything she knew. CJ, WQ, B and E were trained in keyboard toggling, Googling, utilizing company discounts, spreadsheet making and the art of professional phone conversation.
The first 6 weeks were spent in an intense training program. B was shipped out via mini van (complete with chain smokers) to Jackson, TN. E cleaned a warehouse bathroom.
As time passed, things got stranger by the minute. Evil T (T's alter ego) emerged and rared her ugly head. She hid the team from the outside world, keeping them from anyone who might see their true potential and pure awesomeness. She subjected them to excessive clapping, squeals of exaggerated joy, and daily reminders of her ability to name the 5 companies under Liberty Ram and head up trade show conga lines.
Eventually, Evil T's days of leaving 8:01 post its on their desks came to an end. She was stripped of her title, and there was a new sheriff in town. Despite this shift in power, the program continued to snowball. One by one, the girls found new opportunities and left this sorority house.
In B's final days, JT's "What Goes Around Comes Around" became her theme song. She was begged to stay and witnessed the circus that was her new coworker (stories on that to come). On her last day, she will proudly chunk the deuces and look toward the sky. Victory is sweet my friends!
