Pros

You learn great ways to book appointments, great if you're going into outside sales. Fun if you're good

Cons

Micro manage, Dials are way to important here compared to the main metric which is appointments

Paylocity Response

Thank you for your feedback! We are happy to see that you learned great ways to book appointments and that it is fun. The National Sales Support group firmly believes that dials are as important as appointments. It is proven that if a certain number of dials occur, appointments are destined to follow. This environment is numbers driven and tightly monitored but we make every effort to manage effectively and with the sales representative success always at top of mind. We appreciate you sharing your feedback, and welcome additional feedback should you wish to share. Kate Grimaldi KGrimaldi@Paylocity.com
