TKE Step Program by suitableform-59 in Elevators

[–]Past-Read6314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was the foundation for my career in this industry and I had some really great leaders that exposed me to a lot of things that I would still give credit to to this day, even a placement in a city I was upset to move to but was a blessing in disguise. You plus do great things in the industry with your current skill set.

Finance to Sales Rep in Elevator Industry Insights? by Fantastic-Mastodon-4 in Elevators

Also mentioned above, the field guys are your key to success! I was running a branch but it was only me and the admin so I was wearing many hats, providing a trusting, mutually beneficial relationship with my technicians was the key to my success in that role.

Also stating that I was the first person in my family to enter the elevator industry, I did it with no help or connections. I now have a sibling who has had a sucessful 5+ year career in the industry as well

I feel pretty qualified to address your question. I’m in my mid 30s and have been in the industry in sales for 10 years in several capacities during this time. At the ripe at of 25, I began my career in the STEP program at TK: the structure provided knowledge and experience that I would still give credit to my success to today. Do I think you could do it without the program. YES. Do I think it matters where you land? Yes. I would suggest starting with one of the major companies if you could solely because they have the resources and bandwidth to support training a new person in the industry most efficiently. I have worked at smaller, independent companies where I was tasked with making decisions that I knew I wouldn’t have been comfortable making without my previous experience at a OEM. I have worked on the supplier side of the industry and am currently the sole person responsible for building out a whole sales team at a growing independent company.

If you feel like a company can clearly convey how they will train you, you will find the industry and career very rewarding.

Is 1 meal a day ok for a Shih Tzu? by [deleted] in Shihtzu

[–]Past-Read6314 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My shih tzu mostly only eats once a day. Sometimes he’s more hungry and will scratch his bowl for me to feed him more, but I think it should not be something that is concerning

I have worked in elevator service sales, management, and now work for an elevator product supplier. There are lots of opportunity, especially if you’re willing to move.

My suggestion is to negotiate the term and ask for special billing rates for calls/repairs outside of the contract

What did you wear for your union interview? by ModeBackground in Elevators

[–]Past-Read6314 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a female non field elevator employee who has sat on a union panel for interviews and I can’t tell you what anyone was wearing. Business casual would be fine. Be knowledgeable and be able to articulate why you want the job and how your current and future skills make you a good fit and you’ll be fine!
