When did you first learn about the industry

Jason HJason HMaven VIP
Now that I have a 3 year old and new born twins I was thinking back about how long I've been around this business. More so, the fact of actually understanding the business and I believe it's probably been about 20 years even though I've only been working for 10 years. Now that my father will be retiring at some point in the next few years and allowing me to continue on with the business I certainly hope my kids will show some interest in the business. And if they don't, that's fine. This business has been extremely good to me from a money and a relationship standpoint and I am glad I do what I do.


And who could say no to these three. I'm thinking in a couple years they will be ready to go out prospecting.

Honestly, it was when I walked in the door for my first interview.  I remember the individual interviewing me mentioning that they sold Ricoh equipment, & the only frame of reference I had is that Ricoh sponsored the "Call to the Bullpen" on MLB games at the time.  Before I got into the industry, I could not make a straight copy on the first try if you paid me, because I never thought to use the document feeder & could never get the original lined up on the glass.  I knew about all of the technology that Xerox developed at PARC from watching a made for TV movie called "Pirates of the Silicon Valley", but they were the only name I knew of in the copier world.
