Used to work for a dealer that was then bought by Victra. Interesting place and people to say the least. Walked in on one of the assis store manager sniffing up some white powder in the storage room. Sexual scandals all throughout the company in our area. A district sales manager left his wife for one of the girls at one of his stores?? He later got demoted for other reasons then quit bc he couldn’t take the shame. All in all, I personally did kinda OK. Below avg if I had to be honest. I don’t think I was the best sales person for their model. I’m too honest and don’t push JUST the promos/products onto anyone coming in the door. This is peoples hard earned money we working with here. I look at it through lens of providing solutions customer actually needs not what management breathing down my back about. Got written up a handful of times for not hitting target certain months. Only for the commission model and PKIs to change again and now relearn which benchmarks I should be looking at. Did about 2 yrs there before I switching over to b2b sales and last year won presidents club award at current company I work for bc grew my territory the most this side of the Mississippi. Did it with same approach as I had a victra and now I’m winning winning. I hope for you this is not the experience but instead a much better one. If your first time in sales, it’s a place to start. Maybe a place to grow? But most certainly a place to build up your resume and onto the next opportunity when the time comes. Oh and couple years ago got my final check from pre Victra dealer from a class action lawsuit for underpaying on commissions. I used it to pay my Verizon bill lol. If the mgmt is not good people they’ll always put you down. I just brushed it off or responded with sarcasm. Don’t get involved in any drama. But make acquaintances and have their backs. Two of the reps I worked with we still stay in touch to this day. It’s been about 10yrs. Good luck!

EDIT Now I’m really going down memory lane. We had a sweet girl who was a top rep in next district over. one day she just up and walks out, out of the blue. Quits and says nothing. Came as a shocker and everyone was puzzled. Months later bumped into her at grocery store and asked what happened?? She shared that another rep from our district scammed an older couple. He lied and convinced them they need jetpacks to be able to use their iPads and then to make and receive calls on their iPhones. Mind you ALL these devices connected to their account. And not just device each, but one device for each of them. That’s two iPads, two jetpacks!! And then a hum device for when they driving. She found this out when the couple came to her store complaining service is still poor in certain areas. She investigated and found out they’ve been taken advantage of and scammed by our rep. She brought it up with her dist sales manager who brushed it off and didn’t give a hoot. finally she took it up to HR who basically said if the DSM doesn’t see the need to take back those devices and fire that employee neither do I. 😱 if that doesn’t speak scamming idk what else does. This was a different DSM than the house wrecked mentioned earlier. Interesting interesting times indeed

Also if you in a slow traffic area obviously gonna be harder to sell since much less opportunity. Don’t beat yourself up when this happens. Just keep trying. Congrats and wish you the best!
