Would it make you work harder if you see your coworkers are surpassing you in sales?

[DizzyDesii]

In HS/college, I couldnt stand competition so i broke my fckin neck tryna maintain a top spot. But schools long over and i’m in this shitty sales position. Not my cup of tea at all but its a check until i drop it in a month or so. They have us doing this stupid competition where they total our sales for last Mon through this upcoming Friday. I’ve dropped from being in top 3 last week to top 12 this week. There's like 50 of us and only top 7 will get “prizes”. The #1 person has 80 fckin sales yo. #2 has 70. I think its partially because they work weekends. Lmao fck that. #3 and #4 have 50+. #5 and #6 have 40+. #7-11 have 30+. #12-30 have 20+. #31-50 have 5+ sales. Lmao this shit is not motivating 😂 Everyday they publicly post stats to show who’s in what place. I tried to go in this morning focused and made 2 sales so far. But now that he just posted these stats, its almost like why try. I can't stand this job 😂 Wtf kinda lies are they telling folks to get 80 sales. But they also worked here for years. Me and one dude on my team are new and he’s still in top 10 so thats good. And the prizes are gift cards. Nah. My last job at least gave flat screens, stereo systems, game consoles, etc lol

I didn't improve much today lol. I just slick dont care. I spoke with 33 clients and got 4 sales. My friend spoke with 147 clients and got 10 sales. Lmao she’ll surely surpass me tomorrow but look at those numbers? She only got 10 sales out of 147. It ain't even worth tryin lmao. She still didn't meat the dsily goal of 12 sales lmao. And im no where near close to the daily goal of 75 clients. Most i ever got in a day was 63 clients and 9 sales 😂 fck em

[Sparkie460]

When you think about it I'm in a sales position also. I'm competing with all the other electricians in my area. I have to sell the job to the customer at my price. I nail 90% of the jobs I estimate. My bonus is that I keep my business open.

All you can do is do the best you can to sell the product.

[DizzyDesii]

Maybe if we got commission for the sale i’d try harder

[Sparkie460]

You just get paid per hour?

[DizzyDesii]

Yep Until we’ve been here more than 3 months. So like all our commission is likely going to our sups who hardly help us. Screw that

[Sparkie460]

Just do enough so you don't get fired. After you are there 3 months then start kicking ass and taking names

[DizzyDesii]

Im tryna quit tbh

[Sparkie460]

You got another job offer?

[DizzyDesii]

Nope. I always quit my jobs before finding another. If i stuck around til i got another job offer, i’d be there forever

[Sparkie460]

Well alrighty then. I have never done that. I always found another job before I quit.

[DizzyDesii]

I tried but it didn't work. I hate not having a job but i love not working

[Sparkie460]

Hahaha 😆 😂

[Sparkie460]

Thanks for the mho

[DizzyDesii]

Anytime

[the_sinner]

No I stopped doing that after college when I started my job. It messed with my mind and health and I couldn’t let that happen. YOLO.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea im tryna put it out of mind

[the_sinner]

Thanks

[Th3ft]

Haha! Wow! Why don’t you tell us how you really feel about the super. And yeah that would not maintain my spirit. I mean I need to be halfway good at something before I start getting invested anyways. But sales kills me because I’m like I dont want you to have it unless you want it…. So like the opposite of sales… haha!

[DizzyDesii]

I jusst dont like tryna make people buy sumn they dont want unless its benefitting me

[Th3ft]

So you got to upeall them! 😂😂

[Jamie05rhs]

No; it's the opposite for me. It makes me unmotivated. Same with dating. If I see some slick Chad coming to swoop in on "my" girl (I say that facetiously because she's not actually mine; just someone I'm interested in), I legit leave the scene. See ya! Not interested in that drama. She can have his ass if that's what she wants.

[DizzyDesii]

I dont blame you

[Jamie05rhs]

@DizzyDesii Thanks.

[Jamie05rhs]

I don't mean to discourage you, though. Just continue to try your best to be the best that you can be! 💪

[ShadezMcgee]

I prefer work where sales aren't the deciding factor for your money, so I wouldn't do that work to begin with. Plus, are the prizes even good or are they some $5 gift card to a restaurant you don't even like?

[DizzyDesii]

Oh no we get paid hourly. Commission doesn't start until after 3 months which is why im not about to work my ass off to get them sales that i won't get paid for... and yes gift cards ranging $10-75 to probably grocery stores or restaurants. Fck that

[kellytheman]

Honestly I am probably the hardest working person at my company. We don't do sales or anything but I always the one picking up the slack, making more money, and getting more hours the most of the other security officers. What really makes mad it when they complain to me why I make more and get more hours then them and I like you the one that called off you made it that way.

[Gochogirl]

I am competitive in a lot of ways but not for work. That just sounds like a way to trick people into working harder than they should for their own self respect.

[DizzyDesii]

It is because the commission goes to someone other than us because we’re still “new”

[RavVid]

Generally I would work harder if others were doing better than I. In your situation where it is temporary and I didn't care at all I would probably be happy in the middle rank.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea maybe

[LovingLoverReturned]

Not really. Lol... so maybe it is more pay to work harder.

Only if I need/want the money I would

[DizzyDesii]

Nope commission doesn't start til after 3 months

[elizamichale1]

Oh yess when i see any of my colleagues have more clients than me it really makes me work harder

[Mark987]

I worked in sales for 15 years. I can't stand it when people pass me. I'd rather be the one leading

[DizzyDesii]

Dang its that competitive?

[Mark987]

for sure... than there is favouritism

[Hulk30]

no and ill tell ya why for anyone doin better than you it's best to just soak up game from em the problem is many of us dont think like that the datin game is very similar to sales the problem is many of us don't understand it that way

[Adronicus]

No, I work myself harder thany anyone else could.

[DizzyDesii]

Thats good

[Shadow_Monarch]

If there's a substantial bonus for the best worker, yes. Otherwise no.

[DizzyDesii]

#1 gets $75. Ooo such a grand prize 🤦‍♀️

[Shadow_Monarch]

Not worth it.

[DizzyDesii]

Exactly lol

[Shadow_Monarch]

Well, statistically, you're a better salesperson. Your percentage is way better.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea after he showed the stats today and showed that they’re being in $100s worth of revenue and im bringing in $1,000s, i’m like not even sweating it anymore haha

[Loveisgirthy]

Not with that job nah. How much on that gift card?

[DizzyDesii]

$10-75. Like fck is that

[Loveisgirthy]

It actually goes tf down to 10? It's a tip. That's literally just a tip

[DizzyDesii]

I would never give a $10 tip 😂 i gave one guy $20 cause he was hot. Everyone else, $2-5 🤣 fck them

[Loveisgirthy]

Lmao completely fair. $10 is my hot waitress tip. $5 for the mids. $12 for a really good personality

[Loveisgirthy]

The accents didn't help any?

[DizzyDesii]

I tried to avoid doin em today lmao

[pizzalovershouse]

Funny you post Jennifer Lopez she just married Ben aflac

[DizzyDesii]

Yea i dont like him

[pizzalovershouse]

But he is Good actor

[DizzyDesii]

Lmao where at? Mf is dull af. she's the good actor in romantic films at least. he's just a pretty face. But both are rude af

[pizzalovershouse]

So perfect couple then

[DizzyDesii]

And both their daughters are tryna become boys. Two peas in a pod

[pizzalovershouse]

Very true

[Valso]

I suck at sales, so I wouldn't be working such a thing.

[DizzyDesii]

Well they lied and said it was a different position

[Valso]

Then ask them to assign you on the announced position. If not, just quit. That's what I would do.

[DizzyDesii]

The recruiter doesntrespond to us but once a month. she's a bullshitter. We can't wuit cause we’re wrapped up in a 3 month contract

[Valso]

Well, 3 months is still a lot better than a whole year or even 3 years.

[dragoblack]

No, i would see them as an idiot who is just asking for more work with no pay raise.

[DizzyDesii]

Ahhh true

[TrillXHippy]

Sounds like too much work so most likely not

[DizzyDesii]

Yea a bit

[TallAnon]

Not for me, no. Working as a competition is not sustainable long term, so I won't even begin to care.

[Guardian45]

I'm competitive, and good at sales, but I HATE it! So I quit.

[DizzyDesii]

Im bout to

[Guardian45]

DO IT!

[DizzyDesii]

Contract ends in September. Im never tryna get wrapped up in contract shit again

[Guardian45]

https://youtu.be/y0S5TOSM3g0

[DizzyDesii]

Lmao i dont take drugs

[Guardian45]

Good! You don't need them to go!

[Celticwolf78]

Anybody who does that is dumb because u have people who are kiss asses

[DizzyDesii]

Especially since it turns out we dont get commission because we’ve been working here less than 3 months. But the ones in top 5 i believe have been here for years so im sure those 80 sales will help her get paid well haha

[Celticwolf78]

Or she is sleeping with the boss

[DizzyDesii]

Lmao trust me, thats not happening
