One day, as a teenager working at a clothing store at the Smith Haven Mall, Charlotte Smilovich marched next door to the Pearle Vision counter, ready to complain about the incessant sound of a ringing telephone.
“I was really frustrated by it and said, ‘Can you guys please do me a favor and answer your phones, or hire me and I’ll do it.’ ”
Ms. Smilovich meant it as a joke, but just one month later she found herself doing much more than answering phones, quickly rising through the ranks to lead the store in sales.
