I am the sales & marketing department. I can be a little over agressive at times & I realize this new development is cause for more finesse than I am used to using. The president had several marketing trips planned. He was going to go to several trade shows. I found out inadvertantly that instead of taking me this time. he might be taking the office manager. This makes no sense to me. So I stepped up my game, came up with a marketing presentation that impressed the Director of the Board and the president. I still did not hear about who is going on the sales trip. Now he is gone and my company has paid for a booth at several trade shows. I was going to bring this up to the Director of the Board, as he is the person making decisions for my company right now, but I am not sure how to bring this up in an appropriate fashion. I am more than capable of representing our company and promoting our product. Also, it is my job to market the product, not the job of the office manager. In addition to that, I believe I can take over some of the duties of the recently cast out sales director. How do I present myself without looking mercenary? ]]> Joan Burge: Become A Star Achiever RadioheadFan http://www.officearrow.com/forums/joan-burge-become-star-achiever/3954-my-boss-just-got-voted-out-board-directors.html http://www.officearrow.com/forums/joan-burge-become-star-achiever/3919-asking-advice.html Sun, 17 May 2009 05:54:46 GMT Dear Madam, I would like to aske you if there is any training course or conference here in UAE.
