Shortly after joining you start to hear about people who are constantly being told that despite working hard and making the requisite calls, they are going to be fired if the don’t quickly close deals. This wouldn’t be bad if it weren’t for the fact that most deals go south because of factors outside your control. Teachers backing out, school directors not signing off on new hires, Soliant support team taking too long with follow-up…. All of which falls on the sales person’s head. I was fortunate to resign before I was fired and then I leaned shortly after I left 4 were gone….. do you think this iOS really don’t bad hiring or bad leadership and a flawed business model. Now they have to spend the time after and money to hire new people and the cycle continues. I have also heard that the Managing Directors actually like it when you leave or get fired, cause they take over everything you leave behind and then take credit for it.
Mentors and coaches are a joke and I’m just fortunate to have gotten out…. Feel bad for those who likely get fired almost on a weekly basis.
Anyway, if you don’t believe me, read the other posts
HR, please spare me the auto reply response about how bad you feel and suggest I reach out to you. You weren’t their for me when I was an employee, why would you be there for me now!
