[Parki]

i thought it went really well actually, she seemed really eager, and we had a good chat about things

the only problem is my f**king boss has now shifted me to day shifts, so there will be a problem with training

i dont know what im going to do...

 

[Charley9]

I would have given anything to be able to stay in bed today

 

[The Devil]

I agree with you there Charley..

My team isn't going to show and i've got f-all to do all day..

 

[MrCharisma]

Where do you work DeviL9?

 

[The Devil]

True Telecom.

It's a slooooow day.

What bout you MrC?

 

[MrCharisma]

Foxtel but I've got today and yesterday off..... but I worked Monday and then work Thurday til Sunday. *sigh*

 

[The Devil]

So what are you doing in this thread eh?
Just kidding.

So whats it like working with Foxtel?

 

[MrCharisma]

I really enjoy it... it's good money for a easy job although there are often dramas backstage but hey, I guess all work places are like that.

If you are a good talker like myself, it's a great job. Mainly you watch tv, perve on girls, eat food court food and then talk to people about Foxtel.

What about Telecom, what's that like?

 

[The Devil]

Depends on what job you take.

I'm a sales rep and now got together a sales team and we sell to businesses.

Once again you've got to be a good talker, smooth and know what people want.

It's a decent job, though its hard work

 

[MrCharisma]

I had a feeling you did something like that after I read you had a team. Are you purely on commission?

 

[The Devil]

Yeah, that is a bit of a drag though..

 

[The Devil]

Although being team leader i do get some... benefits...

 

[MrCharisma]

It's ok... as long as it's consistant, that's the main thing. I was asked to do Door To Door and I said nope because I wasn't comfortable without a safety net.

 

[The Devil]

Although with what i'm selling, its $40 a pop.

So once you get used to it and become a better seller, the money isn't too bad

 

[MrCharisma]

That's not horrible I guess compared to the Foxtel door to door where you earn like $140 a sale but you are signing up people to 24 month contracts which alot don't want. I'll stick to my base wage + commission anyway

 

[The Devil]

Yeah, we sell our plans which aren't locked into long contracts, which attracts more customers, plus our rates are cheaper than Telstra and Optus on their most cheapest retail rate.

 

[MrCharisma]

Yah I can imagine... our company also looks after Origin Energy amongst other things and they didn't have a lock down contract either and I know they blitz Newcastle

 

[PrideKnight]

lock down contracts are soon to be extinct. people want flexibility and stuff

 

[MrCharisma]

lock down contracts are soon to be extinct. people want flexibility and stuff

Yes and no

Foxtel isn't going to $900 worth of gear on your home so you can have 1-2 months of Foxtel and get rid of it.

Nor will phone companies give you a phone on a plan and then you leave when you want too

 

[The Devil]

But companies will have clauses that will ensure that they can make you pay for what you still owe for the phone you got with the plan or make you give the phone back. Companies employ lawyers to make sure of that crap
