Milk it for a week of sales 101, then get out - Anonymous employee Solstice Business Solutions Employee Review

We always like to hear the feedback that people have from their experience with our company, so thank you for caring about making our business better; that might be a reason we were excited to have you on our team. We have a high standard and take a lot of pride in finding candidates that can add to our, as you put it, friendly, positive environment. We are also looking for people who are like minded since that allows us to collaborate and supply support with ease. This is essential since sales is not a career that everyone is suited for so being surrounded by people who understand its importance does wonders in helping someone learn the ENTRY-LEVEL role from the ground up as intended and stated in our ads and website. We are performance and goal-focused - we encourage our representatives to accomplish their goals and put in the amount of work and focus required to achieve them, we call this accountability. These goals are all set by our representatives themselves, and we try to coach them to set goals that are achievable for their skills, and that align with their individual long-term plans for success – if you felt like you were being pressured to work more, I apologize. Your coach probably thought that you were capable of better or was trying to encourage you to follow through with the target that you had set for yourself. Most people need support and motivation in order to rise to challenges and that’s what we would have tried to do for you. Just like in school we want someone to finish an assignment, the time it takes to complete is irrelevant. In regards to our independent contracting, we are trying to cultivate entrepreneurial mindsets in young business professionals and taking responsibility for your own success is a part of that. This way you can truly become a great asset for yourself or your future employer. In exchange our account managers get their success reflected in advancement opportunities, coaching and earnings. We take a lot of pride in our training and I’m disappointed that you did not fully understand the product knowledge and/or were not looking for the right customers to conduct presentations with. If you look at the rest of our page you’ll notice that our past and current partners have found a lot of value in the training. We do our best to recommend products that fit the needs of the customers and to conduct sales ethically. This is why you participated in the regular training that our client provides reviewing product information as based on market research and testing as well as their code of conduct and ethics. It is up to each representative to use this provided information as well as adhere to the code of conduct. As mentioned, we’re looking for a specific type of person and we regret that you did not have the same goals (of gaining skills and a career opportunity through hard work and a student mentality) that we discussed when we first met. I hope you forgive us for not seeing that our values were misaligned.
