Just watching this program reminds me so much of the hard sell tactics that went on with some of the aforementioned companies.

Yes they were IT resellers...but boy were they ruthless? Yes, they were and still are.

1o years ago I worked with a team of ten guys and believe me, being the only female, I stuck out like a sore thumb in every single target.

I had to achieve MORE than the boys to survive and to get any respect from the macho assholes I worked with.

It was a worthwhile but fkn horrid experience taking on a majority...and this is where I can see points of view of where racism and other discriminations might take place in a workplace.

Anyway...I went on to achieve further than sales...and have done ok.=

I wonder where these guys are now....probably still taking their jackets off and challenging the customers in one-to-ones...or one-to-many.....or many-to-one (seriously ) This is what I witnessed. I also seen PCs dumped in the showroom by customers pissed off by support.

And the sales themselves? They might as well have just locked the customers in and thrown the key away
