SME







It seems like all folks do are spread sheets. Spread peanut butter sheets! Good for Path INC & Quest. I'm hearing from other reps all you reps do now these days are spreadsheets and conference calls. HA! Is da truth? bahumbug

what is up with the conference calls? They are a big time suck and 90% of the time a gross mismanagement of time.
 






LabCorp could actually be a great company, but right now it sucks ass. I don't think it will get any better either.

I can't tell you how many times I go to an office expecting to do the job I was hired for (sell), and get hit with nothing but issues and problems from provider offices. Never a chance to provide any value because I am to busy putting out forest fires.

Billing issues, IT issues, missed pickups, missed orders and wrong results just to name a few of many complaints.

The crazy thing is that none of these issues are because of my doing, but I am the one who will get blamed if this shit is not corrected. I have never seen a company that have their sales reps take care of IT and billing issues like LabCorp. What the hell are the billing and IT people doing?

and.....If you send any issues to these departments, they expect you to go back and provide the customer with the answers. Shit.....Do your job IT and billing. I don't speak your IT and billing language. I am a damn sales rep. By the way...when I have to do this BS, it take time away from what I was hired to do.....sell.

Lab Corp - do you want me to be a sales rep or admin? Right now, I am admin and this is what I did not sign up for.

Since you want me to be admin, I will stay at home and do admin. Fuck selling!

No joke here. You hit it right on the money and could not have said it better myself. This is exactly how i feel everyday. How can you leave your house with all these admin issues? This company is so screwed up, nobody is held accountable except for sales reps and it is for everything! IT, billing, courier, test results, etc. at no poimt can you hunt and close business. To much BS to deal with all day which has nothing to do with new business

Even if. And that is a big even if you do get to sell, the comp plan sucks so bad you cant even make any real money on the sales. Why fucking sell for this company any longer? Play golf, do admin nonsense, and hit happy hour early.
 


















You are so right. The sales management in California I swear did not really understand how the comp plan worked for the longest time, if they do now. The same could be said about some of the RMBD's. You could tell when prospective new business was being discussed, or call in was being discussed. The culture is just horrible, It's awful and really in general a miserable atmosphere. Before they can hire a sales team that knows how to cold call and close business in California, they first need a sales director that knows how to cold call and close business, and sell. California hasn't had this in three years now. Most anyone who had solid industry connections and experience has happily moved on.

Well said
 






Heard there was some crap about the west and had to voice my two cents. Upper management is worthless. Haven't offered one thing to the bottom line. Promote fear and pretend they're actually doing something productive. Need some leaders who are actually respected by the reps. Serious joke.
 








































































I think psycho is the wrong word. I would say she is more of this:

Narcissistic personality disorder

•Belief that she's special and more important than others
•Fantasies about power, success and attractiveness
•Failure to recognize others' needs and feelings
•Exaggeration of achievements or talents
•Expectation of constant praise and admiration
•Arrogance
•Unreasonable expectations of favors and advantages, often taking advantage of others
•Envy of others or belief that others envy her
