Reading the other reports I decided to share my view on this.
It all beagn in September. I work for the civil service and the computer system is down. Luckily the internet is working. I log on to belfast telegraph online to check out job finder. I wasn't really looking to leave my comfortable job, but the advertisement caught my eye ' IBIZA 2005 CLUBBERS WANTED, NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY MUST BE 18 OR OVER.TRAVEL ALL OVER EUROPE APPLY NOW '
Of course me being (the 2005 ibiza clubber myself ;) ) I thought happy days that's me. So I rang and spoke to a scottish guy who informed his name was brent. He asked when I could come for an interview. I thought brilliant so I went asap.
Didn't really know much about the company but accepted. The observation day I thought I was the luckiest person in the world! On my second intrview day I met my leader and hit it off straight away. I then got the job but I had to hand in a months notice in my job at the civil service although I didnt actually leave it I just took a year career break (luckily).
Went to work for perp's in october 05. I thought it was the best thing since sliced bread! And yes I was brainwashed! People came and went my sales were 3 ave for my first four days pitching. I thought I was brilliant and then I was living on 5 to 9 sales p/w. It took me 8 weeks to get promoted!! I blame it all solely on the territory as any good salesperson would.
It's safe to say that I was never a top guy but my owner never came down hard on me because I was the office juice monkey! I kept on going no matter what Then I met a couple of friend that came in and it was amazing. We double doored everyday, went on the field for 3 hours shared sales and then went shopping in the run up to crimbo.
All in all it was really good crack then after crimbo it all started. David esler started strict rules that we had to apply.By then I seen people drop like flies. First he demoted my friend to stage 2 after he got 14 sales for the week so my friend left.
I wasnt deterred even though I seen my boyfriend once a week my family got a couple of hours and I litterally lost contact with all my friends outside this den of eniquity.
Then came the next blow. My leader was running for crew leader and we had to stay on the field until 10 o'clock. And then I seen my friends rocket to success with sales. Me, I was doing well but not as good. I still stayed because of the crack I had with customers and double dooring with fellow cobralites!
Then I had to leave due to a medical problem. David didn't say much; then out of the blue he sacked one of the up n coming crew leaders because the rest of the office did not like her do it for yourself attitude and determination. This girl had never had any one double cross and slag her off like that. I was with her after it happened and it was clear that david told lies to get rid of her.
After that everyone started dropping like flies. David esler is a sham he slept with people in the office! Drives a crap peugeout and went on a retrain 2 times before his office picked up.
Chris is the assistant owner or as he once put it a** owner and yes this is it quite literally he wants to own david's a**.
I witnessed david sack 4 people on a road trip because they did not like the road trip runner? What is that about?
I have to admit that I was submayed but I had one mission left before I went and that was to neg as many people out as possible. It's clear to say that I succeded. My leader did get to crew leadership then last week she got demoted because she lost all her team. hahahaha
I loved going to the rising stars as I saw this as an oppurtunity to meet hot guys from the uk offices mmmmmmm.
However I just want to make it clear that I will be getting my bond back from mr esler. You see if I don't he has a very nasty fight on his hands.
For all the people going for interviews out to perpetual or any other marketing company in cobra take notice TURN AWAY FROM THE SHEEPFACTOR. If you would still like to try it out take a leaf out of my book and sit with the customers in their houses on rainey days and smoke blow with them even if they dont want your product. Sign up all the alco's in the run down housing estates and make it a point to get blocked with them oh and double door whenever you get the chance.
You see my report is not just to slag off cobra but to give out hope that even though I witnessed this scandal I was still able to repay David Esler and his selected fr's by completing my mission before I left.
PS iIstill have an inside mole in perpetual who tells me of all the latest scandal. I will keep you all posted.
And remeber if your goimg to the sheep company be prepared and make youself a goat!
