They would be the stars of a "what not to do" for selling in a new employee video segment. Don't get me wrong, I do not think of myself as some superstar sales person or what not. A scenario I can give on my coworkers and boss involves a quote she gave where we were less than $45 a month than her current and the lady walked out without purchasing because she didn't understand how payment worked and my coworker didn't have an active conversation and ask questions.
The thing about working here is I basically have given zero effort and have made the same money as my coworker who has been here for 18 years. If I even gave 50% I'd annihilate the top sales this office has produced and would actually made good money. The main issues here are 1)culture sucks 2)people stuck in their ways 3)zero accountability. When the boss/owner doesn't even show up for a weekly meeting that's been happening for years and blames the staff for not reminding them it's very telling of how engaged the owner is. I just don't get it, like bro, this is your livelihood why are you not laser focused on everything going on? But then again a customer will call demanding to speak with him because his name is on the building and he's annoyed that we "didn't handle it".
What I run into here is an office of only 3 so no one has real duties. It's all everyone do everything which allows for laziness because it's "I don't know what happened?!". The way I want to run things requires me to be able to focus on certain things without interruption. I can't do that when I'm answering the majority of incoming calls or taking care of the coworkers mess ups or what not. But since there is no accountability and my boss hates confrontation things never change.
