"I love meeting and presenting our brand, Do health fairs and being a Chamber diplomat. Being in charge of my own destiny and providing a product to help people obtain a rewarding goal of physical and mental fitness. I hated being told no without getting a chance to show a great product.. I hated not having complete control of my marketing ideas."

"I love working with my customers and employees, it could be a great company if only the parent company would replace the CEO and CFO in order to have even reasonably appropriate leadership"

"I love to be in contact with people from different areas and help them to succeed. I hate not to be able to meet customers delivery expectations at times."

"The responsibilities of running the Sunglass Hut store are great, plus I love meeting new people so that's fun. Taking inventory of all our products and basically tending to the needs of our clientele is all the position entails."

"Love all the new technologies available, comprehensive site redesigns, great reporting, data warehouse for metrics, web analytics, great training, high caliber workers.The culture is cut-throat. Everyone is worried about their jobs and meeting deadlines and goals. Very few go to lunch or socialize outside of meetings, People with kids get in at 8 AM, leave at 5 and rarely get out of their cubes. Again, they need to train better Managers."

"I love the control of building my own team. I dislike not always being able to provide what me team needs to achieve success."

"I love the challenge of the sale, making my customer love their new RV and holding gross profit and still making my customer think they're stealing their New RV. Often we are slow and there are no customers - but that's the life of the Matage repairman !!"

"Hard to manage, it's my team, but bosses would never let me manage when they were around."

"I love the responsibility of leadership, helping others excel at their jobs and working closely with VP's."

"I enjoy sales and managing people and training them to succeed. The thrill of hitting quota and surpassing it is very satisfying for me."

"Working with people and helping them resolve any issues they are finding in there shopping experience. I also like to help them narrow there search in what they think they need."

"I like surpassing set goals. Sales metrics are tangible and easily gauged. Its a good way to keep competitive with yourself."

"What I love about being a sales manager is that I can interact with customers to experience many types of scenario and solve the issues to the point that me and my customer are both satisfied. What I hate about being a sales manager is when I travel a long distance for a small purchase order."

"Love the interaction with distributors, and DSR's. Love the technical aspects of the products. Love the selling. Love the follow up and close. Dislikes: Disorganization and lack of mission. Unrealistic expectations without fully evaluating potential. Arbitrary and untenable goals without sales input or reality checks."

"It is difficult to find qualified installers to match the quantity of work in the small market like Bozeman MT. Many of the competitors were small one or two man shops working from the home with low overhead. It was very difficult to compete with the lower end market segment which supports the greatest number of homes."
