BTW Im not talking about someone being pissed off when they find out someone is shaving them or something, im talking about the ones who are constantly negative about everything in life. Not only in this industry. By all means, take a look at our wall of shame, Im very angry at those people but im not angry 24/7 ;)
No one ever said you didn't have problems, Roald. But it's of a different type. Personally I ignore most of what reps say as it relates to business because it's often biased or self serving. The exception is when it's clear they know what they are talking about and they are being straight. They say what their employer wants them to say and it's a completely different reality. Or they always stick up for one another in order to network so that they have a job when their existing employer closes. If it were up to most reps no one would ever say anything negative as it relates to anyone big in the industry. There is the tendency to just shut up and kiss ass and not make any waves. Why would they care as long as they keep getting their fixed check from their employer? If the industry gets destroyed, ho-hum go work for someone else in mainstream.
