We chatted with Trenton about his feelings and thoughts on being promoted so quickly. One of the things that was such a pleasant surprise to him was the fact that he was promoted JUST that quickly. Trenton says that he feels that his "drive to succeed as well as being more than willing to put the effort into FINDING the drive if they don't already have an internal and natural one within themselves." Trenton says that prior to being at Brinley, he was working several different jobs in different fields to stay afloat. From working as third party security at Hartfield-Jackson for a while, then trying his hand at a temp-staffing service as a "do it all" man playing rolls from dishwasher to cook all the way back to being a server. Prior to those gigs, he was a barista at Starbucks in high school.
One of the coolest and most eye opening thing about Trenton's interview though, was how clear he made it that he had absolutely NO experience in direct sales or marketing related fields whatsoever before coming to us here at Brinley Consulting. This ties right into his advice that he gave for incoming new beginners at Brinley. Trenton says "keeping in mind that he had NO experience before did not stop him from success thus far. He also states that staying CONSISTENT and ACTIVELY putting the EFFORT is the absolute key to being able to properly be able to both learn and apply the training and teaching principles for the newcomers job."
Trenton has a couple of short term as well as long term goals for his future at Brinley Consulting. He wants to be promoted to Assistant Director by the end of December of 2015. As well, he is holding himself to the standard of being consistently on the High-Rollers list as well. One of his current long term goals is "getting back into going to college to pursue learning more about IT."
Trenton's interview finished with him quoting his Director, Travis Wilson II, saying "Be. Think. Do." He says that by applying this quote to his daily life, it drives him to push himself further and farther than he thought was possible.
Congratulations Trenton!
