mate its a fact, i know ALL my customers very well, some of em HATE me, others like having a laugh with me
ive also been offered the job as assistant branch manager of unipart on a new branch they are opening up in 3 weeks from the recomendation of a few managers who i speak to on the phone about stuff,,,,, usually just a general talk about EVERYTHING but cars
secret to sales is to get the calls done in under a 1 min,,,,, ask anyone whos been on the phone to me how long they was talking to me for ( even at work )

tbh the ironic part was HE was the one who recomended me and offered me the job pmsl
he USED to be the one i answered to, just we never got along so i was moved

understanding the things you sell and working with directors on projects isnt exactly things that are something different or special.
amaaaaaazing.

Well... I couldnt really be bothered to read the whole of this thread, but my thinking is, who cares!
Say your 25, not got any skills as such and have the prospect of a Ł12k p/a no prospects job, or Ł30k p/a that isnt "skilled", your gonna take the Ł30k job.
Unfortunately, there are too many employers that will pretty much treat you like shit, and dispose of you as soon as they feel fit, there's not a lot of loyalty there.
Ive been there before and tried being commited to my job and doings things 110%, but when you are respected no more for it than anyone else, why should you bother busting a gut ?
It seems to me your just pissed because someone doing an "unskilled" job is getting more money than you in your "skilled" job, but what is so "skilled" about your job ? and why dont your grumble about lorry drivers too as I think they are on a reasonable good wage, and "all" they are doing is sitting behind a wheel all day (at least to those who dont see any of the other work there job entails)

BUT i have a MIN target i have to hit, i have requirements of me that HAS to be done and some days i get home and just fall asleep
3 months ago i was so tired and falling asleep at my desk at 5ish due to being knackard that i took 3 days off where i just slept and chilled to recoupe
but also i work 60 hours a week to with no lunch break
if i aint got nothing to do, i have to contact customers and MAKE the cash come in, visit customers and resolve issues
its not the same as driving a bus with old people and school kids arguing about " sorry no change" when someone has a fiver,,, or REFUSE to accept coppers or 5p's as its too hard to fucking count
not to mention the noise and polution they cause with there DIRTY fucking engines

why are you confused
im shite at sales cause i spend too long with each caller, instead of getting the call and dealing with it, move on to the next i talk alot about general shite
NOW when customers have a issue, wanna go indepth to explain the telesales guys aint got the time as they are trying to get as many sales as possible........ but i seem to be able to take the time to listen
in return more and more customers called to speak to me to tell me theres issues as others wasnt interested,,,,, as this HELPED the sales by reliving pressure AND keeping the customer happy this is how i started off
cause i not only solved the issues i got the system corrected so it never happened again i was reconised for this, when accounts had a member of staff off ill and they was customer chasing there account statments to pay them i looked into it, found she was snowed under so helped her out and done a few simple tasks
i have learned how the buisness opperates, someone is off and i can fill the position at a temp basis
YET i pissed my boss off as i never seemed to do what he actually asked me to do

thats just tech support ginge, big deal, should be a required part of the job. esp as no offence, but you certainly no technical car genius, so to come in to the job and suddenly be like that, it cant be too hard.
EVERYTHING you say you do, is stuff ive done for god know how many companies in the past, inc Honda etc.
You know details on the products, like any good parts person should.
You do random office monkey stuff, and know the business as a whole so can do stuff when others are away, like any good office monkey should.
You deliver shit when you need to, like any parts person, office monkey, or delivery monkey could.
You have a say in big projects with the big bosses, just like anyone in a half decent company would.
Nothing your suggesting is anywhere near a 30K a year job, its the kind of stuff ive always done, and expect tons of people on here have too.
We must all be missing some vital job role you do or something?

13-15k id say, depending on experience.
Maybe more as its London, but unless he keeping the bit where he has to bare knuckle fight gypsies, feed wild uncaged lions, or test if blood is infected with aids by injecting himself with it, thats nowhere near a 30k job, its a job ive done similar plenty of times, and so has hundreds of folk on here i bet.

oh dear
ginge, you really dont have a clue about business do you
i know next to fuck all, and thats still 1000000x more than you
The whole world does not work in the same way as your life does, just because it's all you know does not means thats all there is

mate ive never said " i deserve" my wages, you asked WHY i get that, as said its bonus based ontop of a rise from when i got my bonus added to my salary
i get paied less than the branch managers so im FAR from at the top of the food chain in my place
im not a partsman though is my point, the company i work for dont have any garage attached, they own depots who deliverparts, i work in the head office
