Learnt a lot about sales as well as how managers and other leadership members can manipulate us. - Avis employé Program Advisor Interview Kickstart

1. Every single manager I've encountered is manipulative. But the worse part is they believe that they are doing it in a subtle manner but they aren't. It's obvious whenever someone manipulates. In fact all the managers who are involved in sales are manipulative. Almost everyone in the sales team knows this. 2. They claim a success rate of 95% for the clients and they say that they have only 2 seats left in every single webinar. These numbers are totally wrong. This is only to short circuit the thinking process of the attendees so that they can pay. 3. Managers believe in the 'stick and carrot' approach and they believe that people who do poorly should be shouted at. Extremely old school and an embarassing thing to tell anyone outside. 4. Poor hires. They explicitly said that they have reduced the bar of hiring and it reflects in the entire attitude of the members. 5. Lots of carrots but none harvested. They make a lot of promises but only to get what they want. Nothing is given back in return except a mediocre pay. 6. All the Program Advisors are treated like lowly people.
