I've been in B2B sales for about 6 years one reason i have stuck with the job is it gives me the freedom to work however I please as long as I'm doing my job while making some serious money.
I've been remote since the pandemic and have been at my current employer for about a year. I loved the job until recently because a lot of people have not been pulling their weight and now they are requiring mandatory on camera cold calling for everyone on a teams bridge sometimes multiple of them a day. These calls will include our managers & sometimes our vp pop into them. And they ask reps to make calls off mute and go in line. They are mandating these calls almost everyday and for me taking away the enjoyment of the job. I'm starting to feel like a call center telemarketer which is not why I'm in B2b outside sales.
I think in a professional b2b setting you should be treated as such and more importantly an adult. if a rep fails to make their numbers coach them out. We are all adults and know what the job is and don't need to be treated as children.
I'm just curious to hear outside perspectives on this. Thoughts?
