Worst advice from a sales manager?

I’ve heard some wild things from sales managers over the years and some crazy stories from other reps.

What’s the worst advice you’ve gotten from a sales manager that made you think, “Has this person ever sold anything before?!”

nothing crazy usually just useless advice like, make more calls, make more emails, the numbers will balance out, 'oh you feel undereducated? make more calls.'
