But if I have to deal with the drama that comes from an over-the-top know-it-all giving “a little coaching” to a senior rep on week 2, I’m concerned.
If when I’m rolling out a fun contest it takes me an hour and a half thinking about every teeny tiny way it could be manipulated because the last time we had a contest you pitched a fit and demanded to be paid as it was “in writing” even though the rest of the team clearly understood the spirit of the contest and appreciated the fun, it’s a problem.
If I get an email from you at 4:06 AM the day you receive your first commission check because you weren’t paid on a deal you believe you deserved–and you copy your manager, sales ops, accounting, and a few other executives, I am most definitely looking at you.
And so is everyone else.
And not in a good way.
Knowing the hard skills are a must.
But BEING a great team member and decent PERSON is where the magic happens.
