So, lately ive been working as a petitioner for this campaign here in ohio, i was loving it, i got paid $10 an hour to walk around and get people to sign a peice of paper, i met a TON of girls, and even smashed this one girl i was working with who is a political science major on "lunch break" one day. Since this job is totally unsupervised, i was always slack as fuck. I would go home, hang out with friends all day, then head back to "the headquarters" to fill out my paperwork for the day.

heres how i got fired...

At first everything was cool, i would get like 20 signatures in a 8 hour day and no one would care, it was like i was in chill city, then as more people started to work there their standards kept going up. Pretty soon, they're expecting 80+ signatures a day, the highest i'd ever got was 70 and that was a lot of work. So today i roll in the office to get my check and main boss dude closes the door and immediately i knew i was gonna get called out on something i did, he said "i've been reviewing your performance lately, and i've come to conclusion your performance has been consitantly low and your attitude very poor, so you can no longer work for our campaign" to which i replied "umm... ok" and then left

just thought id share with all my [ms] friends out there :p

Re: so... the boss fired me today...

hell I got fired from my dj gig at carlile this week, you get fired from your job this week.

Oh yeah, I got canned because the other thursday dj was aparently bringing in more money to the bar. And there's a lot more stupid crap that has been going down, but I won't try to bum anyone out with that. On to greener pastures and more productions!!!

^^^ true that: what you think you radiate. Sales rule Nr 1

#651900Post 17 of 31

Re: so... the boss fired me today...

I thought sales rule number 1 was...fall in love with what you are selling.

[quote=jeffrey collins]I thought sales rule number 1 was...fall in love with what you are selling.[/quote] Ok, you've got a point: product knowledge is the start of everything. But you don't have to fall in love with it. You have to fall in love with making the client put his sig on the contract no matter what.

I've had a fun time being a manipulative bitch when I still was in sales, but after a while I couldn't look at myself in the mirror anymore cuz I was selling people shit they didn't need only to get my monthly targets and bonusses.

Ah well, if only some people weren't as half witted, they wouldn't be skrewed by sales reps all the time ;)
