Default Clear Channel fires 1500 people

Clear Channel cut's 1500 people mostly from sales. The sales people
left will be given accounts of those AE's who didn't make it. It's a
joke, CC pays the lowest commissions and their clones plus the idiots
across the street will follow their lead. It's like I'm an idiot and
you're an idiot too..

AE's who’re left will be given these great and wonderful accounts,
plus their budgets will then be raised even higher. Some might think
the sales people will make more money, but it’s more work for less
pay. If AE's don't hit budgets, now raised even higher they’ll be
paid lowered commissions. It’s a management screw job. Many accounts
don't return because it was the relationship that sold them in the
first place. Once the relationship goes the accounts are gone too. But
the salespeople are stuck with the accounts history that they didn’t
create. It's no joke, Clear Channel is just cutting cost to sales and
spinning their web of hype and lies. Cutting local talent for national
programming is the same.

You bet management will be next. With less sales people who needs all
those managers..
And you can double bet Clear Channel’s clones and the idiots across
the street will follow their strategy.

I’m an idiot and you’re an idiot too, being an idiot counts for
membership.

This won't work either... Less sales people equals less sales..
Sales people can only focus on one thing at a time
Didn't we already learn that.. Selling combos AM/FM that didn't really
work..
Then the idiots divided the sales staffs. not good if you were stuck
selling a station that sucked.. That didn't really work..
Then the idiots said sell your station plus the internet.. That didn't
work..
Then the idiots said sell your station, plus the internet, plus NTR..
Did really work.
Then the idiots said build relationships.. well who has time for that
crap.
Next the idiots will say, sell all the above plus HD too..
Yea right sell like superman, multitask, plus market for clients like
Martha Stewart..
How many jobs can anyone have..
