For whatever reason he left, we are expecting positive changes. For one:
If management promises a C.L. that they are going to do something, then, they damn well need to follow through. Also, it needs to be in the manner initially agreed upon, NOT with major shifts the agreement, designed purely for the benefit of the company. What we've experienced are complete reversals on agreements, gross distortions of agreements and we are really done with the b.s. Two, when management issues edicts such as: no moving from territory to territory, then allows one or two people to move and not others, they are being inconsistent. Unfair. No, we don't want to hear anymore excuses as to why you let some do this and some do that. Get clear on what your rules are, then YOU stick to them. Third, you need to hold C.L.s and managers alike, accountable for extremely unprofessional behavior. Thats right, not just a slap on the wrist. 3 strikes and your sorry ass is gone. Also, there needs to be, in writing, specific skill or achievement sets that must be accomplished, literally checked off, that would allow a person to move into any type of managerial position. This opportunity needs to be given to every one. That would be, everyone. That means, the current system of a manager and their fav. ass kissing C.L. couldn't skank their way into existence. Management positions actually have to be "earned" and no one could buy their way into the job. Include: exceptional salesmanship-specific examples, exceptional teamwork. This opportunity needs to be given to all C.L.s at the same time, with the same instructions and their managers need to be fired for fabricating accomplishments, in order to help their ass kiss forward, just for covering their butts. The way we see it, this is the current system and we beyond disgusted.[/QUOTE
No one bought their way into management, some just kiss ass better!! A few deserved to be promoted, but some DID NOT.
