Sales monkeys?

I have had a couple of really bad days, as can be seen from my posts. And it hasn't got any better. I'm still on the hunt for new employers, or maybe going on my own. The latter is very risky, but maybe it's worth the try. Management is getting more pathetic by the day, with all sales staff having to conference call the office every afternoon from 4 to 5 pm. And this to discuss opportunities closing in the next 7 days, and what management can do to help. It's the same crap every day! Have you discussed the value add with the client? Do you know who the final decision makers / signatories are? What is their reason for moving ahead / delaying? Can we call on someone to help you / make a call / go in and sell the benefits.....?

What the hell do they think we are doing?

Oh, I know, apart from treating us as back office support / pen pushing / process following monkeys, they actually believe that is what we are! Well hello, I'm a salesman! I know all the above, and do all the above, and know when to push / back off. If you think you can do it better, maybe you should be a salesman, and I'll do your frigging job!
