When you see cries for help, frustrations and other meltdowns in the CRM system...
Murray - 07/01/16:
"VP of Sales - said no, not interested and never to call him again whilst I'm still breathing oxygen.
Try him again in 6 months - probably just having a bad day."
John C - 03/04/17:
"Another 'not interested'
I need to vent. I hate my this job! I hate my Manager! I hate cold calling!...but I have bills to pay. Why did I even bother going to university?!
Oh shit just realised I can't delete this note.
Sod it, think I'll go work in McDonald's...."
Darren - 10/09/18:
"Another no!! Has anyone ever sold anything in this F-ing company!!
I don't care who sees this - I'm giving it another week then I'm gonna sprint out the building like Harrison Ford in the Fugitive - jump in the Thames, swim home and never come back."
Sophie - 02/11/15:
"100 call target today and I'm on no. 23 at 4:30pm. I'll be here till 11:00pm at this rate - it's like serving time for GBH.
If you're reading this, get out...get out while you still can."
'Jack - 03/03/16:
"Another 'not the right time'...arghhh!
If I'm asked one more time in the Monday morning sales meeting what 'I have out there'...I think I'll publicly rugby tackle my Manager in the middle of the Board room!"
David - 07/07/15:
"CEO - Can't move forward due to budget constraints for the year.
S*@t! Well that's my £50K deal blown! And I've already spent the £10K commission on a lad's trip to Vegas. God only knows how I'll make rent this month...maybe I'll start sleeping under my desk."
Helen - 11/02/18:
"Finally got a reply to my 27th email follow- up:
'I appreciate your tenacity but I think you may have lost your mind...you've left 19 voicemails, 8 LinkedIn messages, 4 videos of a dancing guinea pig (against a backdrop of various Michael Jackson songs)...and these relentless emails.
I had to put you out your misery...NO THANK YOU."
