You sell poorly for three months and someone takes you to lunch. I have three bad months and I am fired...very different, but you really dont have the maturity or frame of reference to understand this. I hate to tell you, but if you cannot sell a $15.00 product or figure out how to sell someone an upgrade with limited inventory, then you will never make it as a salesperson in the real world of business. You think it would be so much better, and you would work such less hours, but you are confused. If you think I work less hours now or have it easier, again, you are confused. You are all grown adults that went to college and fought through 3 interviews to get your current position. To those of you who whine, complain about your job, bitch about the hours, you would be eaten in the real world, I pity you. I wish the best to the GP45'ers who work hard, take responsibility for their actions, and compete to be the best every day. For most of those that post on this site, it is ok that you will never be better than you are right now. It is very difficult to get to the top, or be in the top tier, I get that. You are a great asset to this country, you spend money on your credit cards, you vote, you spend $4 on a coffee 4 times a week. Congratulations, you are average. | I completely disagree with this post. I work approximately 15 to 20 hours less a week and have it so much easier while making more money. I look forward going to work and not dread "insurance Mondays" or "dealership Tuesdays". There is nothing confusing about that, just the plain simple truth. The difference in selling CDW or let's say Windgets is that CDW is an intangible product that most people already have. Think about it, it's tough to sell something that someone already has. You already see department stores trying to sell "extended warranties" for products such as TV's, DVD players, etc... The products already have warranties and this is directly correlated to insurance and buying CDW. I have a solid work ethic and just didn't enjoy selling something that someone already had. There's nothing wrong with that. Instead of being eaten alive, I am eating the competition up because I now thoroughly believe in and enjoy what I sell. That's the issue you must explore; find what you enjoy selling and sell it. If it is CDW for $9.85/hour then sell CDW. If it is home loans at a 3% commission, then sell those. If it is prescription drugs to doctors, you get my drift. This is a typical response from an "Eracer for life." The old "you can't handle it" mumbo jumbo. |
