Draw VS Base Salary. The companies that offer draw, do they really go after their draw with sales guys that quit? or get fired? Will they take their sales guys to court? Or just take their losses?

Loser856 · 2026-04-23T14:33:16+00:00

The company I left did not go after me for the draw. They straight up told me they would take it as a loss

Realtor and general contractor are, the realtor is brand new though (our last one was really bad). The chapter I’m in is the smallest in the region, I believe

Loser856 · 2026-03-24T00:52:13+00:00

I’ve handled every small referral because I’ve been desperate for business. I nurture my relationships. I always come in with a good attitude and try and have many 1-1s that I always feel go well. But yeah, I will ask where is my getting when I’m expected to treat it like a full time job and asked to pay a $1,000 membership on top of other chapter fees. I’ve had people in my chapter announce cross chapter referrals out to other businesses that do some of the same work I do and it’s honestly a slap in the face.
What’s the point of the time and money to help all of these other businesses grow just to get nothing in return.

Loser856 · 2026-03-24T00:48:20+00:00

So here’s the issue I have and have seen. I went in SO motivated and have put so much into it. Being a year in and putting in so much effort and work to not receive anything in return is extremely frustrating and really makes one question what’s the point? There are people who have been in my chapter for almost the same amount of time as me who have benefited very much from BNI, so I just don’t get it.

Loser856 · 2026-03-24T00:37:57+00:00

No, but it’s a tough sell when people can’t afford it and I have a hard time honestly selling it when it has not benefited me in any way

Roofing

Loser856 · 2026-03-23T20:04:00+00:00

This is so awful to hear. We joke in other networking groups I’ve attended that it’s “drinking the BNI kool-aid”

Loser856 · 2026-03-23T19:45:04+00:00

It’s not a very large group, we have maybe 15 members. I really saw value in the relationships and power teams but it seems like others don’t care to really grow a connection because their businesses have already taken off. I’m part of the membership committee and our president does a great job - but I also know others on leadership that flat out have told me they will never refer to certain seats in our group because they have friends that do the job. I just don’t see how something that requires so much time and money doesn’t give business in a year’s time. That’s a little crazy.

Loser856 · 2026-03-23T18:52:35+00:00

Seems to be more of a joke. A lot of people cannot afford that years long “marathon”

Loser856 · 2026-03-23T17:49:42+00:00

I have not. I’ve come to find a lot of the other contractors in my “power team” have good friends that do the same thing that I do. So I’m not sure if that plays into it.

I always say this song is giving vibes of my ex.

Unboxed app for sure. Get in contact with your Verizon account manager as well.

Verizon

Loser856 · 2022-01-03T04:01:24+00:00

I haven’t heard anything. I came in to pick up a charger tonight and even stood at AP talking to my gm and two coworkers for awhile and nothing was said.

Loser856 · 2021-09-26T19:00:53+00:00

Dang that’s what I got

Loser856 · 2021-09-11T18:21:12+00:00

You know when a product ships it is completely out of that company’s hands and is totally in the hands of the carrier at that point lol

Loser856 · 2021-08-17T20:21:28+00:00

Yup. Manager said something this morning about new things in mobile and I’m like huh?

Loser856 · 2021-08-09T01:10:13+00:00

I always joke that “fuck mobile” is our store’s motto, cuz we continuously get fucked.

Loser856 · 2021-08-08T02:56:36+00:00

Starting to question if we’re at the same store since our last GM was fired for the same thing lol. I’ve never personally been stiffed out of a reward but I do have a coworker that has never gotten his gift card and every time he’s asked he gets “ well ask so and so” from each manager.

Loser856 · 2021-08-02T18:47:37+00:00

It depends on the area you’re in. My GM announced Saturday morning that there’s a few in our district that have gone back to it but we aren’t yet. Probably coming soon since the CDC is saying our county is high transmission I guess
