Read this before you go.. call your morning ho
- Thread starter Kimmie
- Start date
Only people who have never worked in sales.
Coworker - It must be nice.
Me - What?
C - All those three hour lunches you get.
M - Oh! You mean the days when I work through lunch while everyone else gets to take a break?
or:
C - I wish I could take off two days, get to stay in hotels, have meals paid for, and only have 10 hours worth of meetings.
M - Oh, you want to wake up two hours earlier than usual. drag yourself out to the airport for the hassle you know you're going to get there. Then you want to have to be chipper all day after putting in 100 - 150 miles without only the vaguest sense of where you're going in a car you don't know. Then you want to spend the night, not in your bed away from everyone you know just so you can get up early the next day and repeat the whole performance?

[scratching head in befuddlement]
Jseah, I don't think you thought that through.
Everyone has a POV, and what about the client that no shows? The providers of the world have a right, that they excercise more and more, to have boards such as these where they share information [reviews if you will] of clients. Those who "perform" up to their expectations and those who don't.
Neither should limit the others' right to commentary.
And who says the the majority of us don't? Have you taken some kind of poll I am unaware of?
Like I said, providers and clients alike, commentary on boards such as these is fair when presented within the boundaries of excepted norms. In our case, fair review and no outting, etc.
Those who go outside the norms are dealt with in the same way any sociatal microcosm works. They are dealt out of the hand, ostracized, made to feel small for their actions, etc.
Kimmie is wrong headed about this. You can't say, "Don't bash ho's who show up late or not at all because clients do the same thing." You do say that negative impact on providers who are commented on in such ways is counter-balanced by similar commentary that can [and is] made about johns who do the same thing. Thus, if you want better providers be prepared to be better johns, because it works both ways.
