maybe keep them out if your car.
FLL here, I agree with the post about us not being in the field right now- seems a little inappropriate.
FLL’s want to do well just like you and sometimes don’t know how to contribute so they think they need to see you in action.
Be proactive and share what you are doing with Customers and how you are selling but be honest because it’s easy to tell if it’s a lie and then you lose trust.
Being proactive with your FLL will make a difference and maybe keep them out if your car.
I am fully vaccinated and NOT worried about being in the field. The problem I have is my Florida FLL is still pushing to be in the field with our team. It’s hard enough getting in these offices myself right now, much less bringing my manager with me. And Deb and Harbour still allow this to go on which is not good for business. I appreciate Harbour’s voicemails for safety concerns, but let us sell, do what’s right for our business and please keep these FLL at home.
You are not a first line leader. "They think they need to see you in action." No it's a mandate to ride with reps and its part of a FLL's job. It's also tracked by VP's as a percentage of an FLL's working time and used as 'objective' information for coaching reports. Any FLL knows this and would not say otherwise. Also why does it seem inappropriate? But on the other hand it seems appropriate to have reps run around in the field while covid cases are on the rise?
