[QUOTE="tups, post: 339916, member: 1969"] These kind of shenanigans don't just stop with safety comittees.... You should have the 'Skit' that has been put in our center from one of the sales rep managers or whatever title he has. He climbs up on the stairs that goes to the break room, and asks for a volunteer to join him, when no one does, one of the sups gets up there. Then they go into a role playing skit on how to 'interact' with customers in ways that will produce sales leads. This is complete with what should be said, and using FedEx and DHL boxes as props. We should be saying to the customer 'I see you have been using FedEx'..........and on and on. ( I forgot what he said to say ) But it was pretty sad that they got to put on a little role playing skit to drill us on getting sales leads. The following week the same guy does another skit, and followed it up by asking how many guys are going on vacation this year and how would they like some extra money to spend on that vacation. Get some leads and you could have an extra $100 bucks to spend on vacation. So they go from telling us our jobs are in jeopardy if we dont get more business, to giving us acting classes, to bribing us to do the job that a real sales department or business development department should be doing in the first place. However, I will say this. I understand the usefulness of drivers getting leads, we are out there. But like the safety comittee thing, they are just going about all this the totally wrong way. No one will pay attention to any of this if they feel they are being treated like children in kindergarten class. [/QUOTE]
