But unfortunately the company makes the salespeople do that. Especially when you are on a $6/hr or commision (whichever is higher) payrate. And these newer salespeople don't know a darn thing. I constantly had to correct the people under me of things that they should of known. I think the largest thing that they did wrong, IMHO was the residual income thing... i.e. Direct TV, RCA, and cellphones. Ya, they are good, but they needed to stick with what they did best. Now they have gotten rid of 90% of their attennas, and alot of other equipment. Chronos --- þ Synchronet þ The Time Machine BBS - telnet://tmachine.bbs.us .
