I SELL HEALTH BENEFITS FOR EMPLOYEES

I SELL HEALTH BENEFITS FOR EMPLOYEES

I SELL HEALTH BENEFITS FOR EMPLOYEES

IT BURNS WHEN I PEE

why are they so adverse to providing their employees w/ health benefts?

I even tell them that it offers a tax-break at the end of the year

it increases employee retention

nothing, they don't want to hear it, most of them

half these people are lucky they aren't talking face-to-face w/ me w/ how they treat my calls, I'd probably compile a few charges

I thought that was what your whole rant was about.

You are ranting because they do not give you something free, when you are selling it to others for so cheap.

Kind of ironic and humorous.

If it is so good and so cheap...why don't YOU buy it or if it is so good and so cheap...why does your company not provide it to you for free.

He's trying to tell you that he's selling it TO employers that dont seem to want it to give to their employees for whatever reason and that they won't listen to him. He's not complaining about HIS employer being el cheapo.

And now you know why I avoided SALES my entire life.


How much cold calling are you doing? Those calls iritate the hell out of me. I have this sales guy who has called me for over a year now. His name is Todd from VXI Corp. He want's to sell me some phone headsets.

I do IT.



I DONT DO PHONES !! He leave me 2 messages a week. When Im at my desk and see his call come in, I quickly push iDivert.


Don't be a cold caller.

Basically, it's Summer's first day on the job, and he's finding that his target audience is not very receptive to his message, so he's becoming enraged at them, which (as an aside) should make him an even more effective salesman. :D



Summer, seriously, if you're cold-calling employers to try to sell them insurance, it's going to be a tough sell. Most of them have probably thought about whether or not they're going to offer or what they're going to offer quite a bit before your call... so it's going to be tough to sway someone over the course of a phone call.

I get these solicitation calls all the time, and quite honestly, I try to blow them off as quickly as possible. Not out of rudeness, but because we've put a great amount of thought into our benefits plan, and it gets frustrating when the person on the other end of the phone can't understand that and is just trying to get through their script (I'm not talking about you specifically, of course, just the calls I get generally).

I think the key is to try to be patient and understand that you're going to have to work your way though a lot of rejection before you hit on a receptive target. But I'd suggest patience is paramount.

I cold-call alot, only been at it for 2 days, and I can understand that

that's only till I can build some solid references

but I'm not selling a phone here, the benefits I sell increase employee retention, and it puts money back in your pocket at the end of the year, I know when I was a W-2 employee, and my boss told me they wouldn't raise my salary anymore, and did nothing else for me, that was basically it, I lost interest and I was gone, I didn't want to stick around at a poor-paying job where the crappy soda machine was always out of soda

it gets pretty sad when these guys won't even let you talk to the employees, those are the ones who benefit from it the most, and it shows them that you care, one guy even spoke for the employees and belittled them over the phone to me
