B-Russell Sprout the hatchet man for Derm









All the threads have a repetitive theme. Fake calls, lay offs, bad managers, expiring products, field rides, etc. Substitute a company name, sales division, or manager and you can cut and paste postings to apply to the entire cafe pharma board. Sprout has been around forever which makes him known by so many people to keep his legacy alive.
 












Kinda like all the consolation P Clubs they gave to Pete. These guys are incompetent idiots who got as far as they did by kissing royal ass. It's okay. Their karma caught up with them. Beautiful karma.
 




All of those P-club wins should be forfeited when he was the one and only RBD. It was merely a participation award as a monkey could have won just as easily when there is only one single person eligible to win. Most of the other years he won there were only 2 or 3 RBDs, which means the odds were 1 in 2 or 1 in 3 to win. Far from being a top 10% performer. It is better to be lucky than good in this industry, and Sprout is the poster child for this type of lucky success.

I work at the home office but came from the field. We were laughing our asses off about this today at lunch. I couldn't believe this was real, but it is actually true. Participation awards at the highest level.
 












B Sprout coming for a work session, any tips? I have a Vietnamese restaurant picked out for lunch.
5 Star!

1. Don't take him to see any important customers or you risk being banned from the office.
2. He will give you some outdated sales advice useful in the 1980s. Just act surprised as if you never thought of his lame suggestion, and tell him how great he is.
3. Drive in a big circle from office to office and on the roads with the most traffic. What normally takes 10 minutes can take 60-75 minutes.
4. He hates being at home more than being with you on a field ride. you are the highlight of his week. Give him lots of compliments, and ask how you can win many p-club awards like he has.

My favorite is how he always presented himself as an expert diver, but then at dinner at a P CLub one night his wife called him out on it. "You went snorkeling a couple of times. And once was in our pool!"

I wasn't there but I know people who were there that night. Our own RBD told this story everytime we had a breakout!

What’s amazing is leadership has to be aware of this nonsense. I don’t understand why we are not cultivating new leaders, new thoughts and strategic thinking. If someone has to constantly reveal their trophies and PClubs to us it reveals weakness. Why not share the wins and PClubs of people you led across the finish line to success or a promotion.

I am at the homeoffice, and we were not aware of the details of Sprout. Most people here in the home office are in thier job for 2-3 years, come and go to different operating companies. For example, none of us were here when he was the one and only RBD winning a p-club award every year. He is not necessarly lying by having this listed on his resume as a p-club winner. The "P" in "p-club" stands for "participation club" award winner.
 




Yeah but what I liked about Bob was when he told that mumbling fool manager Tom L in front of all of the whole region that he'd spank him if he ever talked stupid again. Tom was on the verge of tears. Some of the female reps instantly fell in love with Bob that very moment. Legend!
