I don't understand this sentence.
Whoever brought in the most money after six months was usually hired. We were all working our way up call sheets to sign clients. From the bottom to the top, from the doorman to the CEO.

"We were all working our way up call sheets to sign clients."
Is the "up...to..." a phrase here?

Thanks!

Answer

I've seen the movie of this story. The company gives him a list of names to call so he starts at the bottom of the page and calls each name from bottom to top to advertise the company. I believe the last sentence is a reference to how the higher up the list you go the richer the clients get.

Answer

"Working our way up" can be considered a phrase.  "Call sheets to sign clients" is just saying what they were working on.

For example:  We are working our way up the corporate ladder. (going from a secretary to an office manager to a CEO)
