is what I am stuck with at work right now...in the three months that I have been working this is my third manager...the first just didn't show up to work after on my third day...no one seems to know what happened to him....my second was a guy I know from the gym that I workout at...Eugene...he lasted 2 weeks before they brought the Jimbo on board...Jimbo brags that he was the top salesman for our competitor....we found out that he only worked for them 4 months before he got Fired....whooooaaaa...you would think someone in upper management would have caught on to that lil tidbit....The man drives me crazy...he's on some kind of anti depressant drug and drinks Rockstar all day...so is constantly moving around..talk about jittery....and he NEVER shuts up....He thinks he's MR. Smooth....and better than everyone that he works with....I could go on forever about him and all of his faults...I haven't been able to find any thing GOOD about him yet..(can you tell I really don't like him?) but I really want to vent about the incident that happened yesterday before I have to go to work and face him today....hopefully it will calm me down somewhat so I can function with out "taking him out with my fists"..whooooaaa were did that come from....
Yesterday Jimbo lost me a sale....right now I haven't gotten that many to be letting any slip away from me....A good friend of mine had called me and told me that one of the girls that she works with wanted to join the club...so I went over to where she works and talked with "B"...we spoke for awhile...I found out what she was looking for in a club...decided which plan would be the best for her...she wanted to see just what she was getting for her money (I had the sale at this point) so I invited her to our preview center where I could show her the pictures & DVD after she got off work....Well....she comes in and I am finishing up another sale and asked her to wait just a few minutes..she was fine with this....but NOT JIMBO....he comes sassshaying over...introduces himself as the GM and starts drilling her about where she works and if she would give him her managers/owners name so he can set up a Corporate account and get her a better price than the one I gave her...now understand he doesn't even know WHAT price I gave her at this point...needless to say by the time I got done with my new members, she was having second thoughts about joining...she told me she was uncomfortable with him asking for her managers number and she would have "check with her husband" about joining...I will go back to her today and try to salvage the damage that Jimbo did yesterday ....but I have to tell you this is not the first time he has done this to me..and I've had enuff....
Last night I put a call into the District Vice President who actually hired me and asked that we have a Private conversation today....at this point I'm not sure just what I am going to say ...I really don't like "tattling" on anyone and I always try to work out any problems I have on my own...but damn it ...this man is costing me money since I only get paid on commission....
I really like the job...just hate the manager...I keep telling the guys (the other 2 salesman that I have worked with since the beginning) that it could be worse...I just don't know how...
More later
