9 time Million Dollar Writer for Ashley Homestore

In the furniture business the main goal for a commission salesperson is to sell over $1 million dollars in furniture for the year. Out of the 12 years that I worked for Ashley Homestore, I was a $1 million dollar salesperson 9 times. The three years that I wasn't a million dollar writer was due to being the Store Manager. I was in a smaller market but consistently finished in the top 3 in Sales each year out of all of the franchise offices.
