    No sales job ever paid per time spent on phone

    Having participated in the marketplace for a while, I am positive this is not true. Have you ever met a sales guy? They love executing on nonsensical strategies.

    There’s a lot of dumb money still out there. The term “dumb money” doesn’t do it justice. We should call it “braindead money” instead.

          Off script doesn’t mean not trying to make a sale at all. And you gotta realise “a long time ago” makes anything you know invalid? It’s the same thing as old people thinking young people are bad with money because they can’t afford a house, car, kids etc. on a single income, like they could.
          I used to do graphic design about 15 years ago but don’t anymore, I’m not gonna tell someone who does it now that I know anything about how it currently is. Very weird to not be aware of something like that without having to be told about it.

      Medicare Part D was or is a program to outsource prescription insurance for Medicare recipients under Bush 2. It created an absurd Matroska nest of contracts. I worked for a staffing agency to be call center agent at a company that ran pop-up call centers for various insurance companies operating under this program.

      I was told my calls were monitored but never got any feedback whatsoever
