For a company called PC Connection. I've been an Executive Account Manager here for 7 years.

Giving my notice was the happiest day of my employment here.

They sell hardware and software.

Funny you mention that...it's something I've considered doing. It'd be ridiculously easy and minimal overhead. Just a matter of trying to convince the wife, and I don't see that happening.

If you have 7 years of experience, there shouldn't be anything you're overlooking. You probably have the experience to easily make the business successful. What are your wife's reserves?

Anything that involves a risk . She likes things nice and stable with someone else signing the check and not having to spend money out of her pocket.

Hell, that'd be mine! She's quite happy in her '04 4Runner. Which really is a great truck, I love it.

PC Connection is an absolute monster. It would be a major challenge competing with those guys.

We lose deals to small shops all the time, it can happen.

You know the sales mantra:

Sell yourself
Sell your company
Sell your product

All in that order. People buy from people they like.
