Same thing with marketing. Nobody cares that I signed all my dealerships in my branches to PPO's, but the sales process with the GM's and the sales calls I went on is the experience I'm talking about. Nobody expects you to learn anything at ERAC if you don't make an effort to sell CDW to your unrecovered theft customer, or go home to sleep on your marketing day. |
Now stop being obtuse.
I worked for ERAC for close to six years and was very successful winning fleet and achievmenet awards.
What I said was there was no training - bar a one day course on how to write a ticket, it was all on the job. I pushed for my grill, I had to threaten to leave if I wasn't given more responsiblity and I made the branches I ran successful by doing exactly what I saw as necessary for the branch. Seweing how poor my managers and area managers generally were, I did the opposite of them, and what do you know? Promotions.
As I said there was and is no training - the grill folder is little more than a joke (in what other company do you have to photocopy the names of corporate leads and put them in a fucking folder?)
