Re: Oh Where oh where has Ben David gone??? Oh where oh where could he be?
Please tell me what "get some grit" means. What is grit and how does grit pay my bills? The comment about a Sales Associate getting fired for doing a good job was sarcastic. Of course someone in sales should be selling and growing the territory. Problem is that in the absence of a true sales person in a territory a PSR (re: driver) is given a fake title of Sales Associate. We all know that it is a title only and in truth was to make them feel important and do Up-Chuck's work so he can collect the real commission. In truth, these unfortunate PSR's work extra hard, stay dedicated and put up with a lot of bullgrit. They keep the territories running in the face of certain doom. Yes, these territories are doomed as many of them have 2+ former reps with all the business (an ex-distributor, ex-ORehab Rep, and ex-OB Rep). How am I, a "driver" who has never even met a single surgeon supposed to do setups and pickups AND meet surgeons? I guess making 8 qualified sales calls after 3pm is pretty gritty.
