Fame

Like power, fame for a sales worker supervisor depends on what type of sales you oversee. In retail, these supervisors are typically unknown unless they do something really great, really awful, or both. How can it be both? Well, let's imagine you supervise the sales staff at a chain pet supply store and you free all the animals from their cages so they can live in nature. You'll be famous, but it won't be the kind of fame you want. Just trust us on that.

Service industry and industrial industry sales worker supervisors are likely to be well-known in their communities, and maybe even across the state, because of the impact that their companies can have on local, regional, and even statewide economies. Make sure you're using your power wisely.

However, that's about as far as your fame will reach. You won't be seeing yourself on the cover of a supermarket tabloid anytime soon. And, unless your family stars in a reality show, they'll be really proud of you for that.
