Response to office politics fail
Hello. I am a manager in a sales line. Yes, I am in property/insurance.
As a manager, this is my opinion, your sales director likes you.
Sales require guts and you probably impressed him when you took up his challenge, despite losing. No cowardly person will dare to do so. He paid extra attention to you after the challenge, that says loads. He probably doesn’t care about the rest of your colleagues. Those cookie cutter, keep their heads down, scared of offending ppl colleagues. Those ppl won’t go far in sales.
Learn from him, debate with him and argue with him. I truly believe your sales will improve if you can put your ego down and work with your director.
If you can’t, don’t need to quit. Stay at your current company. But comment your sales director name or fb page. I will contact him. As a typical manager, I’m always recruiting.
Here are what netizens think:
- Not as easy as one might think
- Â I have been in sales for many years and I must say it is not an easy job. Sales can be incredibly demanding and requires a lot of hard work, dedication, and communication. It often involves long hours of prospecting, cold-calling, and follow-up to build relationships and close deals.Â
- It can be difficult to stay motivated and maintain a positive attitude throughout the day. Additionally, there is a lot of stress that comes with the job as success is often measured by the number of leads converted and deals closed. It is not always easy to stay focused, especially when the process takes time and results are slow to come. You must be prepared to face rejection and failure on a regular basis. All in all, sales jobs can be very difficult due to the high pressure and need for results.
