Take Note of Important Shift

What is the rep profile of the 20-25 expansion territories? Exactly, the rep profile is B2B and NOT what comprises 100% of the existing team!

What does this mean? They don’t see the value in us and our ADHD experience. This was always part of their plan and with the business not growing enough, they will speed up the transition to a lower per head rep cost.

What is next? We will hire the newbies to start the initial phase of the low cost remodel of our sales team. In parallel, they will start dialing up the performance management pressure to push growth or get out and replace with Cost Co reps.

Wait, this is not true and different than what they told us! Yes, it is different and real honesty from someone in the know. There is a target to achieve 65% of Cost Co reps by end of year. Depending on timing of transition with the current RDs and reps, this could reduce business expenses by $3.5 million.
 


Truth. And it’s sad. I was shocked when I saw the open positions listed and the base was nearly cut in half Of what it was 2-3 years ago. Then the overnight let go of 80% of the salesforce this past fall. Then pseudo p-club BS. And now this?? TF.

Our current all in sales rep cost is close to $300k.This shift in the new low cost rep profile and replacing existing reps can reduce the out lay by almost $150k per rep.This change holds even greater impact with our business not growing fast enough and several current territories not delivering.

All of us need to open our eyes to see this slowly taking place right in front of us.
 


They are sprinkling in fake good news with the ridiculous PClub awards, telling us Q1 financials on track so we don’t throw in the towel early in the year and rolling out their change plans underneath until it swallows us up.
 




I didn’t want to see this really and just listened to what they said to us.

This is all just smoke and mirrors. We are being foolish if we choose to see things differently.
