I'll start: A few weeks after college I was looking for some local tech jobs in my area, and this tech-looking company hit me up asking for technology specialists. Might as well see what it was about, right?
Went into their office, and it was a complete joke. Decent location and building, but nobody looked like professionals, they were blasting loud music and had a ton of stupid, expensive toys laying around the office. The hiring manager kept bragging about how much money he made as he took me and the other candidate in for a 'group interview.' ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ
He told us about the business model: cold call down lists of real estate agents, and read them scripts to sell them google ads. I knew right away that its economics didnt add up and it was a completely extractive operation essentially middlemanning google ads without any follow-up, proof of ROI, or support.
Complete shit show. Guy 'hired' both of us on the spot after 30 minutes of him talking and told us we'd be 'fired' if we showed up any later than 8 the next morning. They didn't follow up when I slept in.
What are the worst sales teams you've ever had a glimpse into?
