I recently started a part-time sales gig to help fund my hypnotherapy business.
And this company wants me to go through this training they purchased for me. And it's fucking awful.
It has super surface level advice for asking discovery questions. "If someone says he's upset because he's fat, ask him WHY. If he says because he feels like he's missing out on life, ask him WHY." For one thing, I'm not selling a fitness solution. And second, asking why over and over again is how you get fucking slapped.
But that's not even the worst part. This dude views himself as not only a sales trainer but a self development guru. Half of the training has had bullshit about morning routines, breathing exercises, "identity documents," stories about Jesus, lessons in alchemy about magnetism and how everything is vibrations, and the most basic, boring, stupid shit.
It's not even that I'm skeptical of what he's saying per se. Some of it's fine. But it has fucking nothing to do with selling and it's insane that my company wasted money on this for me.
I'll watch it out of respect and to make a good impression but holy fuck it's bad.
