Loyalty Pawn Family

Greetings Loyalty Pawn Family,

I can’t believe November is over and the holidays are here. I’m excited how every store is going to decorate their stores. Let’s use one of our core values and be as creative as possible. This is always a great opportunity for us to not only sell stuff but put stuff on layaway remember our 10-20-30 sale which if you put 10% down you get 20% off on layaway or you can buy it out right for 30% off. This month we are reading a book called the 10x rule by Grant Cardone is based on the idea you should figure out what you want to do, what goal you have, be it making a certain amount of money, finding your ideal loved one, achieving a certain body fat percentage, and multiply the effort and time you think it'll take to do by 10. I definitely recommend this book it really explains how the power of urgency and will to work harder than the next person can bring you great success. This month we are going to get to know Jason Wagner the assistant manager of the West Sacramento location. I want to wish all of our Loyalty Family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Let’s plan on making 2020 the best year that we have ever had. Let’s set goals and do everything in our power to accomplish them. Last let’s keep our teams and most of all ourselves accountable to hit these goals.

Jason was born in Los Angeles but grew up in the Sacramento area for most of his schooling life. He would visit LA every month for over ten years to visit family, so HE pretty much grew up between LA and Sacramento. Right after high school he started working construction and coaching football as a volunteer. He did that for a couple of years until he worked for Bel-Air. He’s always loved cooking, so he wanted to find a job in that industry. He started working for a pizza place and become the manager of the with in the first year of working there. After his short stay in the pizza place. Next in line was Best Buy as a sales associate. By his fifth year there he was one of the sales leaders pushing over $2 million a year in sales. When the crash hit in 2008 he moved back to LA to take care of his grandfather he became his grandfather’s primary caregiver. After being in and out of the ICU before he arrived Jason volunteered to help improve his health. Soon after his grandfather’s health became better Jason got the opportunity to move to Oregon and fulfill one of his dreams of becoming pitmaster. He started working at a barbecue restaurant. Thinking this would be something he would really love, but the owner of the place would most of the times have him working more that 16-hour shifts during the busy season. Getting burnt out quickly with that lifestyle he decided to move back to Sacramento. Because of his sales background he decided to apply for sales lending associate position for Capital City. He finally found his more permanent home in the pawn industry. He has worked in every store in the Loyalty Pawn company except for the Roseville location. His dedication and eagerness to grow eventually landed him the position of assistant manager for the West Sac location. He loves working at that location because of the potential that location has. His ability to grown in a company and be able to give back to the community. Being able to not only help people in need that come in but also the ability to give back to kids with our community outreach program. For the last few years Jason and like 20 or 30 of his friends take a big camping trip where everyone contributes and brings something food wise while Jason brings the kitchen and puts his culinary arts to work. For the past few years they have been to places like Bodega Bay and Donner Lake. Next year they are looking into going to Icehouse for their trip. After you taste some of Jason’s cooking you can see he has a real talent for barbecuing.
