I know we had an iPhone and Samsung launch this month, but I'm at 33% halfway through the month with our lack of traffic and I have been top rep in store multiple times this year. Starting to worry how I'm going to tell my girlfriend we may not make rent next month because my commissions were nonexistent

Lol at the "just leave" comments hahaha. As if it's a badge of honor to stay on at a place asking for more and giving you less yet jacking your quotas way up. You probably stay in relationships too long and get dumped because you're afraid of change.
The door is gonna hit ya or split ya whether you walk on your own terms or you're suddenly erasing your business phone and clearing your locker out. Hope it all works out for you. As for me. I won't get blind-sided.
Yeah go ahead and leave.
Some of us actually enjoying being verizons b--ches and having them constantly f--- their employees over!
If you do not like it,
Do not let the door hit ya, where the good Lord spit ya.
Just do it then!
Verizon won't contest your unemployment if you get pipped out. They won't even contest for a code of conduct violation. And just don't tell your next employer you were fired.
I get fired I get no unemployment and have to explain to a new employee why I was fired. Don't want that on my resume.
Agreed, It is all in the plan to get rid of salespeople without having to pay any severance. Fire the tenured higher salaried reps and bring in the less experienced and cheaper replacements or close the location. B2B is even worse. The Quotas are going up 10 to 15% every month, while HQ tells Wall Street to expect flat no growth . What a lousy way to treat employees. This plan will never work. The "V Teamer" BS culture is a Joke! Not going to quit...so keep on raising the quota! and try and PIP me out. Guarantee it will cost you more in the long run than just being up front and offering a severance to leave.
It's all part of the plan to reduce costs by 10B ASAP to save the almighty dividend for shareholders and executives. Once you leave they will get some one else in there and pay them less. They may even flip your corp store to an agent location or eliminate or automate your position.
Let's not forget getting written up when you don't hit an obnoxiously high renew quota. On a written warning, has never happened at any other job I've worked.
I get a final written I will leave Verizon even with nothing lined up. Not getting terminated, I control my destiny and resume, not them. Btw hitting my new, ard at 112, tmp at 65% and murdered step ups but still written up.
I would rather get a root canal then go into a Verizon store. Sales reps are too pushy trying to slam hums and overpriced accessories. You walk in the door and they are all starting at you because your the only one in there.
I'll just go online and take care of it myself. Rip retail...
Nothing can be done about the traffic, but we all know that so why punish reps with such high quota when the traffic isn't their? You want traffic its not going to come when you have companies like T Mobile offering cheaper service and better promotions. It's not 2007 anymore everyone is pretty close to each other in terms of service so what is Verizon doing to stand out besides run those annoying stupid ads with the arrogant jackass?
Quotas have been screwed up for years, the days of making 4-5k have been over for a long a-- time. For Verizon its all about working harder and dumber. It doesn't help that they keep dumping workload on wireless sales reps all the time too. You gotta to tech support, customer service, billing, retention, global support and you manage inventory too. Do you get paid for all those jobs you do? No you don't. Is your quota lowered to compensate? No its not. You're Verizon's b--ch end of story
Two girlfriends will earn twice as much as one. Helps in times like this.
Hopefully the store guys will see more traffic with the iPhone hype. Foz, the market is completely saturated so if you have ideas for store traffic i'm sure the store reps would be all ears.
Nobody cares that your girlfriend will think youre a loser. I have always thought of sales as lazy rotten apple eaters and its true 95% of the time. Sales people become experts at lying and overselling that when the door swings the other way nobody believes or cares about your struggles. Explain why less traffic is the issue instead of you. What is being done wrong..what should be done? Help others understand instead of complaining.
Agreed. I can't wait till they close my store and get out of this company. Just waiting for my severance. Sick of it been a top performer as well for years and years. Now low traffic. Quotas over 100 for each rep in small store. It's a joke. May vote union to piss off Lowell and uppers
