First off, I am SO PUMPED that this topic hasn't been brought up yet, can't wait to read about my fellow savages' WORST EVER Sales Manager, mine was an older gal (70's) named Tana.
It was my first gig as an AE for a local TV station and the year was 2011. She gave me a series of DVD's from 1998 on how to sell TV advertising to various industries and once I was through the DVD's she sent me out and said, "Now go bring us money"
Mind you our "TV Station" was the red-headed step-child of the city and we didn't even have Nielson Ratings so the job of selling ad space was nearly impossible, but after each day of excruciating prospecting I would walk back through the office door and immediately she would ask, "How many checks did you bring us today?" (like, not even joking)
Needless to say it didn't work out, but the dumbasses gave me 30 days to improve my sales and fired me after 14, which I then turned into 4 months of UI, thanks bitches!
Your turn, let's hear about your WORST sales manager, anyone got me beat? There has to be someone worse than her... annnnnnd GO!
