April meeting predictions?







Very few of the reps that were at the last one will still be there. They will have either been put on a plan or realized that there is no future with Zoll and will have left.
 






1.) probably serve left overs from the last meeting
2.) "Girls will have to bunk together"-JP
3.) JP will be wearing a muscle shirt
4.) Management has too much on their plate so expect an updated accountability slide
5.) Marketing side show will include juggling and other death de-lying feats

in summary just the same side show act with misdirection.

LOL for #3!
 






JP here-"I want to thank you all. I wanted to let you know how deeply I and the management team respect you (hmm girl in green blouse front row has a nice rack). Please take time to thank your loved ones that support you at home (cripes is that chick pregnant...hope its not mine....better fire her). We feel its important to get together to reinforce our belief (hey now, that little hottie is lookin at the gun show) that the Lifevest team is the best in the industry and we are committed (hello 4th row crazy eyes...here's a little peck flex for ya) to your development (geez why do we have so many guys left). We are committed to your voice (oh what a beautiful set of lungs on her) and the management team has listened to your concerns and have determined they really aren't relevant. We have revised the accountability matrix as a testament to our commitment to your professional development ( I hope I don't look angry but I think I am going to puke I am so hung over). (cripes between SB's calculator so far up my ass and JW hand in my back- I just might lose control of my bowels as well) Unfortunately with all the support you receive, we are net getting the results expected. I met with the management team and we are excited to announce a kicker to the already robust compensation program. CHEESE that's right government cheese TAX FREE! We listened and felt this would be a great incentive. So what do you think is that great news or what!!! I knew you would be excited (you know wearing a thong isn't that bad...just wish I knew whose it was).

Bahahaha..right on target.
 






okay...kudos to whoever you are! That is hilarious! I'm actually interviewing and wanted to come on for a little insight. Obviously this sheds a bit of light on the culture. Thanks for the comic relief, but when that's actually your "leadership" it's probably not all that funny.
 












Does anyone out there know about life on the Temperature Management (Thermogard XP) side of the business? Same corporate culture as LifeVest? Is this a revolving door position? Any intel on the manager in FL? Degree of micromanagement? Realistic quotas? Are many reps making the $150,000 they're selling candidates? Common obstacles,frustrations, etc. in this position and company?
 


















Talk about flashbacks...worked for Zoll for a little over a year. Seems its hasn't changed a bit. I could not believe how backwards this business models is...From management to sales support to that skank that processed expense reports. Training was a joke, done by a crazy ass redhead that was an ex nurse and never carried a bag. Marketing was run by a woman who couldn't be bothered with reps questions. I got a long pretty well with the director of sales initially untl he lied to me.

Compensation....laughable...I was told $150K at plan (during the interview)....I made plan and made less than $100K

It amazed me that a company with arguably the best products was getting decimated by a competitor that had an FDA warning letter in place. Umm...poor leadership? Yep.

Run from this company at all costs....I'm emabarrased I have to put this turd on my resume.
 






I can't wait to hear from Marshall the Leader! I always leave so inspired. Good to know that the quotas will always just keep increasing! "We just picked $800 per week because we felt it was a good number..." Loser company, loser leadership = hell hole. Worst mistake of my life.
 












Those few of us actually achieving quota will be screwed. Upper mgmt says we can do more and is going to incentive us accordingly. Total bs.

Of course they will. That's exactly why people are here year between 1-2 years. When you were hired the quota was lowered to what the territory was actually doing so you were able to make goal. You get your goals for the next year and you can quickly see how an increasing goal every two weeks from were you're starting in the new year will spin out of control and in no time at all you will be exactly where the unattainable goal was for the rep prior to you. You will either leave like everyone else when you don't make money or will be placed on a PIP and then be asked to leave and the whole process will start over again. You see zippy, yes you made goal this year, but you won't next year and some young buck like yourself is the next sitting duck.
