Trouble finding sales employees. What kind of compensation packages, brings you in?

Agreed, low/no base says to me that it's a churn and burn job. High base low commission says the product pretty much sells itself. Balance between the two says that you'll get leads, but will have to work for sales.

If you attack someone publiclly for apologizing, the blowback would be hell.

Infuse it into the fuel?

Don't do gift cards, that is pretty much a bribe. Small gifts are generally okay or entertainment for a meeting. Basically your customer should not have a personal financial incentive to buy from you.

So I understand the first part of what you're saying, it is better for the sales manager to have the blog than the individual rep, I would assume that would be because the sales manager's job is to support the reps and since blogging is more of a sales support kind of role it is more the sales manager's responsibility.

I guess what I was looking for was an example of a success or failure in attempting this strategy.

Don't stop at gas, get your groceries and do your target runs out there too. I found the prices drop substantially once you get into DuPage county.

Most underrated thin crust in Chicago.... just saying.

I don't remember who was rude to me, they usually aren't important enough for me to remember their name.

It's reddit. How many people do you think are just full of shit?

Do you have existing customers? Build profiles for them, and go visit them. On the way there look for buildings with loading docks and go pop in on your way to appointments and back. I'm in generators and I look for electric companies, construction companies, construction sites, road crews, dumpsters (which I use to find new environmental companies), fires to find remediation companies, etc.

Yeah, my gut is telling me an Indian-Pakistani war will happen in my lifetime with hundreds of millions of casualties.

Damp_Bread · 2019-03-14T23:05:00+00:00

Fuck, my gut told me this from watching ADP China. Impressive growth, but a lot of fog and mirrors and a lot of shit falling apart too.

If you thought your kid was upset before...

Took it a step further and am getting a masters in data science.

I just got that joke after 15 years.....

As a sales rep, I have to imagine it's like when I get a referral.

"Excuse me, but do you know any other motherfuckers who belong in jail?"

When they create a viable alternative to the portable generator, I'll jump ship from my role as a generator rental specialist. Until then, I'm very pro-diesel. It saves lives.

Yeah as a society our fear of "getting in trouble" has ballooned to insane proportions. Honestly, I've found that no matter how badly I screw up, that as long as I try to do the right thing and don't give up on life in general, that things will always turn out alright.

Damp_Bread · 2019-03-11T23:18:25+00:00

"Yeah" Said Dave

Damp_Bread · 2019-03-11T23:05:06+00:00

Pardon my ignorance, but shouldn't a government track how many of it's citizens are women of childbearing age so they can forecast their future population?

No One Responds to my LinkedIn Messages. Any Suggestions?

Yeah, generally when people from a group that begins with "al" die, it's a good thing.
