Is THE LEGEND gone??

[greenpeace]

Is it true Ricky Stoakly really resigned? Why wouldn't enterprise try to keep him?

[caliente]

they did try, but shitty pay was the reason he left and salary is the one thing enterprise wont ever budge on

Would promoting someone based upon the fact that they threatened to leave count as an adjustment to salary? I am not stating that this has ever happened in GP 18 but I consider that an adjustment to salary. Just my opinion.

Enterprise won't adjust someone's salary just to keep them from quitting.... nor should they. However, letting the highest seller (probably in the history of ERAC) go without much of a fight seems to me to be a little ridiculous. I heard they threw him in Scottie Brown's old territory.......Pocomoke/1834??? No freakin' wonder the guy quit. No doubt if he moved on to another sales job he should make bank. The guy was an awesome seller. Usually 200+ points/month.

The greatest seller I ever knew of was a guy named Jim Sowers. I remember one month he told me he was going to sell 90% CDW. He used to average 70-80% monthly, so during this month that he wanted to sell 90% it came down to the last deal of the month on a Friday evening, he got stuck with the only insurance rental we had left for the day at 5:55pm, he worked this guy and worked this guy some more but no deal, so he goes out to check the customer into the car with our whole office watching his every move, he comes back in looking all dejected with his head down, then he turns the ticket over and reaches for the sky in an act of sheer jubilation, he got the guy on the parking lot. He said never ever again will he try to sell 90%, "too much pressure, I'll just sell in the 60's or 70's for now on" he did.

Another incident occured where he rented a minivan to some guy from the airport for $179.00 per day. This happend in the days before ERAC had an airport office in GP18. He got a call directly from St. Louis telling him that this was an unethical rate, so he got this guy who called to tell him the highest ethical rate for each and every car class so he would know the max he could charge. If he could find a way to get max rate he would do it. This guy made so much loot for ERAC it wasn't funny.

He's a salesman, of course he's a real asshole.
And please save your, I sold 80% and never did anything unethical, everyone in sales has lied, cheated and manipulated at one point in there careers. Some of you are still doing it after leaving Enterprise

I sold quite well (120 club) in my time with ERAC and was ethical. I screwed the company but not the customer. I was master at getting people to take partial CDW for one day and then stop by to sign off -- which doesn't do shit for a branch's package, but made my numbers look good.

This is just one of many such waiver scams. It used to kill me when an MT would do this but forget to take it out of the system. Then, when the customer returned a big adjustment occured killing the package numbers.
