I just found out no Sale no Salary

Quit and encourage everyone else to quit!

I don't like the no sale no salary jobs. They aren't really fair in my opinion. No matter how hard you work, there is no chance of getting paid if no one wants to buy anything.

I would say that is not fair, no matter what, you have time involved. I don't know what kind of agent, but I would be looking somewhere else for a job.

im not sure what feild but i will say, its not fair in any feild! if you work at anything you should get something from it. !

lynboobsy It is not fair to deny full salary for people after their working for 45 days. A basic limit of salary should be paid and when they achieve over and above the limit set for sale then they can be paid incentives. It depends on the nature of industry, country, employment strategies and government rules.

I know it's not fair, but life isn't fair at all. If they have it in their company policy then your screwed. Like what others response here. I would say that you should find another company/job, because apparently they don't have that much care for your work as agents.

Not sure which country you're in, and I got this as an e-mail notification, so Ican't see under which interest this is posted. Here in Canada, we are paid for doing the job, but we are not necessarily given quotas. However, in some fields, selling electronics for example, we are given an extra comission for making a sale. That way we get paid for doing what we do, and paid extra, for actually making the sale. Instead of punishing us for not making a sale, we are rewarded for making one.

okay you work on commission, I would never work for a company like that. I always worked for a company that paid a salary. It is too hard to work on commission.

Just another illustration of how nothing much is free. They give the training they usually do want something back. Whether it is fair depends on how reasonable their goal or quota is.

i find that unfair lyn as efforts were exerted. what if no one really buys? in our office trainees below 6 months are already given the minimum wage...

hi lyn, Waaaaaaaaaaaa.........so it means it is outbound I don't have much knowledge about it but they call it as outbound. So it's just like a networking if you don't have recruit then you can't have money Let it go friend you just charge to experience like what they say happy mylotting

As far as I understand, you are on an outbound account in a call center. If you don't prefer sales,you can quit you job and shift on an inbound account. There's no quota needed, only the questions and the queries of the clients. Or you can still keep your sales job, there are companies like teletech or teleperformance. They will still pay you and give you consideration even if you don't reach the quota.

Hi friend, sad to hear about this, it is not easy to make a sale in this days, i think you take a tough project, as you mentioned your earnings will be forfeited if you don't make any sales, you are in need to make a sale to get money. Wish you all the best

That is aweful, do you have a human resources center or workers union? Find a way to fix it.

They do not pay for working? I think in your job at call center people pay only for sales like commission. If that is the case I think I would suggest your friend to look for other jobs. I think there should not be something like no salary especially if your friend had worked very hard. Hope she attains sales very soon.

Reminds me of a former colleague who applied and got hired by a call center company. He was hired right away and underwent training. later he found out that salary is on a commission basis. The catch is, you have to reach the quota otherwise you lose the job. Unfortunately, he missed his quota and true enough he was fired.

That's the irony of a sales job. There are sales job with a regular salary, but some don't. So if you are to accept a sales job, you should really work hard to make a sale.

Hey there lyn, Well that is a bad place to work at, be warry of it since this kinds of jobs will just get you in a bad position in the future even if you work your arss off they'll just say that you cant have your salary even if you really needed it and earned it, better get out now.

No, that is not fair at all. You should quit.

Hi. Are you in real estate? because I think there are policies like no sale no salary for real estate agents. If you make a sale then you will get a certain commission from your sale. But if there is no sale made, then the agent won't get anything. Yes, it is not fair. But that is how the real estate system work. This motivates agents to sell many units and reward them if they are successful in the sale. If you are the owner of the business, i think you will agree that the system is indeed reasonable :) what if your employee did not a single unit for a year and you keep paying him salary, won't it be unfair to the employer? :) this is just my opinion.
