Default Laid off!

Well guys, I got laid off today! :( I'm taking it as a good thing though. I haven't made nearly as much commission as I had wanted. I wanted to take a second to identify if anyone knows of any opportunities that I may persue.

My background constists Inside/Outside Sales. Main focus has been enterprise software solutions, typically calling on C-level executives. If anyone knows of any opportunities that I may be a fit for, let me know. I can foward off my resume to the appropriate contacts. Sorry to clutter the board guys. I know all of you are great guys, and look out for the best interests for fellow car enthusiats :)
Thanks again for your support in this downtime.

Regards,
Chris Threadgill
