That's what they did to my buddy! He made $15k a year off this account he found years ago. He doesn't have to do anything for it anymoreFunny how many salespeople one month are being given awards and the next month they're on the chopping block.I haven't worked for anyone but myself in over 20 yearsI wouldn't quit before finding another job and finding another job ain't easy. It's a full time job. Maybe it's easy for you because every food store in every town needs guys to collect shopping carts out in the parking lot. LolCan we roll the credits on this chick flick of a thread now?
For christ's fucking sake if you don't like your job grow a set and quit.
I prefer to stop caring and let them let me go so I can collect unemployment while looking for another job.
The main reasons I work for myself are 1) I really hate other people telling me what to do and 2) I had to get away from whining idiots like you who claim they got fired for making too many sales
I won't even try to explain it to you because you don't get it or care.
The dynamics of sales compensation can be complex.
One of the problems of "old salespeople" - and old meaning how many years with the company, is they can build a client base that can effectively support themselves by simply living off of that base. In other words they can be one of the highest compensated people in the company, but do almost nothing for it currently. For years companies have tried to deal with that. Most of them unsuccessfully.
But the company never said ANYTHING up front about taking accounts away and making them house accounts.
And I can remember them actually saying you have to prospect hard in the beginning and later you won't have to because you will have a database of existing customers.
Maybe the company should be honest up front about how things work? Let us know they will make any easy sales house accounts.
I'm so glad I found a great company to work for.
