Gone

Almost one year ago something miraculous happened for our family.  Randy met with someone that said he'd be a great fit for Boston Scientific and that they were looking for a rep for Wyoming.  This got Randy thinking... So he started looking for the managers name and number for Wyoming.  On a connecting flight out of Salt Lake City, Randy happened to sit next to the man that would soon become his new boss.  Miraculous!  So, after many tears, a rough goodbye, Randy went to work for his competitor at Medtronic, Boston Scientific.  Because he couldn't see the same doctors that he'd been seeing in Casper, Boston offered him a set salary and commission structure for one year.  They promised him more, so that it would be worth it to make the hard change. Fast forward a few months to Randy's NEW boss.  A boss that actually told another rep, "I'm not sure why Sam even hired Randy.  Is Wyoming even worth the trouble?"  Another time, in the same breath, he said to Randy, "I'm disappointed you didn't make quota this quarter (although he had stuff in the pipeline better than most in the region), and you're putting too many miles on your car, so I need you to stay home."  So, tell me this, if he can't put miles on his car to go see the new docs, how is he going to make quota?  It killed Randy to have to stay home!  If you know Randy, he's a goer.  Sometimes too much.  Like when he painted our basement in Casper the day he got his wisdom teeth pulled.  Yep, a goer!  Now, take into account how Randy found two new doctors and made them Boston Scientific loyal.  October alone he had 9 new cases.  The usually hope for 1 a week!  November, December and beyond are shaping up to be just as great.  Is Wyoming worth it?  You bet, especially after his territory opens up again to include Casper.  One thing is certain, Randy Dirks is worth it.  He had such a hard time for months!  His boss didn't start becoming even remotely nice until the cases started to roll in- even after he knew that it takes months sometimes for them to go through insurance.  Once again, on a flight, he me up with a man that isn't his new boss, but helped him get this new job.  One that he's excited to have.  His new employer is New World Systems.  They sell Law Enforcement Software- what Randy first got into after graduating Weber State University December 2002 in Technical Sales.  He interviewed with TWELVE different people, gave a 10 minute presentation of his choice, and finally got the job on Darwin's birthday, 11 October, 2012!  Now 20 days later, he's in our 24' Budget moving truck on his way to Utah.  All of our worldly possessions are packed in that truck!  We're sad to leave a great company like Boston Scientific, even sadder that it was because of one man's decisions and attitude, but excited for the new changes coming our way.  Now comes the cleaning of this empty beautiful home.  On a side note (a brag about my husband, really) when he gave the 10 minute presentation he was warned beforehand that they were going to try and mess him up by asking questions throughout.  As he was finishing up, he said, "I was told you were going to try and confuse me with questions throughout.  Does anyone have any questions now that I'm done?"  The comment was made, "Out of all the presentations we've ever had, yours was the most interesting!"  They asked him references, asked about the book he got his information from so they could read it, and simply gushed about how perfect and flawless it was.  Out of ALL of them, his was the most interesting!  Randy Dirks is worth it!  And he's mine:)
