One Hell of a Guy
My brother called me today to ask me if I could get them a better deal on their upgrades. Apparently he ordered 4 new phones over telesales and extended his contract. I let him know I’m on commission and that he should have gotten them from me. He says he doesn’t like the low end phones he got. I tell him I’m not going to do the exchange. He gets stuck and agrees that he will ship them back and get nicer phones from me. I send him some sharp text messages about how he didn’t think about his little sister first when she works as a sales representative for the major wireless carrier that he currently has. His wife calls me and tells me that I’ve deeply hurt my brother and that if I want she can return those phones and get it from me. She also tells me that she made the purchase without my brother knowing and hinted at how fucking clueless my brother is about everything around him and that I should not hold this against him.
Okay. What the hell. Did I not mention to them over dinner, in front of the entire family, where I work and how he can save money on his monthly service bill.
Arghhhh!!! I am so livid right now. What about my feelings, those dipshits.
I will remember this.
Epilogue: its not even about the commission. I would have probably made a total of $5 in my pocket over that sale, hardly anything that I would have blinked an eye over. But the fact that I’ve been in wireless sales since I was 19 makes me really question their perception of my intellectual capacity, considering the fecal verbiage I was fed tonight.
