Miserable - Sales Representative Tom James Company Employee Review

Thanks for your feedback. We don't intend to spin or cover up any comments, positive or negative, about our company, but there are a few objective points we'd like to point out for anyone considering employment with our company: 1. We do have a goals and affirmations culture, and believe attitude is the #1 determinant of success here. 2. It takes time to build a business with our company, and an income. We do have a Training Assistance Pay program that supplements commissions to provide a stable income during the first two years of every Sales Professional's career. 3. Employees are not required to wear our clothing, though it's highly recommended since it's difficult to sell a clothing to a customer if you don't wear it yourself. The $3000 figure is a retail value and does not reflect the employee discount and clothing credits earned on sales that this employee would have received. 4. We do have product lines where a pair of pants can approach $1000. We also have product lines where a pair of pants is around $150. Our custom suits range from $599 to more than $3000. We feel this price range is relevant to a wide range of potential prospects. 5. "Prowling", or just meeting potential prospects while out in the field, is one way our salespeople find clients. Some—a majority, actually—work by referral. Most of our salespeople find the prospecting methods they are most skilled at and comfortable with and use those methods to build their business. We train on 4 different methods to accommodate different markets, temperaments and styles. We do agree that this is a job that requires a lot of hard work and dedication. Thanks for for providing your feedback.
