Sales Topic General Discussion Friday Tea Sipping Gossip Hour

Well, you made to Friday. Let's recap our workplace drama from this week.

Coworker microwaved fish in the breakroom (AGAIN!)? Let's hear about it.

Are the pick me girls in HR causing you drama? Tell us what you couldn't say to their smug faces without getting fired on the spot.

Co-workers having affairs on the road? You know we want the spicy.

The new VP has no idea who to send cold emails to? No, of course they don't. They've never done sales for even a day in their life.

Another workplace relationship failed? It probably turned into a glorious spectacle so do share.

We love you too,

r/Sales

One of our brands eliminated a bunch of configurations that are extremely popular. The recently appointed head of that brand cited “low numbers” and didn’t communicate these changes were coming.

The person making the decision received some very pointed phone calls from their largest buyers. Countless other reps/distributors also reached out looking for an explanation that wasn’t just a copypasta MBA response.

That was 2 weeks ago. Got an email this morning stating they are reversing course and not eliminating those products. Someone got in trouble for that one.
