Why Verizon Salespeople Should Make Jeter Hear Them
Tonight is the All-Star Sport, a time when wealthy people gather together to rejoice the truth that they're wealthy and may hit a ball with a broom handle.
It is a world away from being, say, a Verizon salesman. It isn't straightforward being a Verizon salesman. Sure, now you can sell the iPhone. However you also should be a tolerant, cheery individual, particularly in the face of some clients whose sense of decorum and language can depart them within the twitch of a nostril.
While Christian clothing hit a ball with a broom handle, you possibly can ignore every final word uttered by a buyer. When you're a Verizon salesperson, this is slightly tougher.
So when a Verizon salesman all of a sudden rubs shoulders with an All-Star, you may think about that only joys can ensue--a minimum of for the Verizon salesman.
In case you may have been detained by the TSA for the previous couple of days, you must know that a positive, upstanding Verizon salesman, Christian Lopez, caught Derek Jeter's 3000th hit last weekend.
This ball is value someplace within the region of $250,000. Not because it is a ball of magical worth, however as a result of some sad Yankees fan will most likely pay this much for that exact ball.
Lopez is not a unhappy Yankees fan. Indeed, he was very glad to easily give the ball again to Jeter. Oddly, within the pictures of the two of them together, Lopez smiled broadly, while Jeter couldn't have regarded extra bored if he'd been pressured to read a whole copy of Angling Monthly while seated in a dentist's waiting room.
The Yankees provided Lopez 4 luxury seats for the remainder of the season (sure, these overpriced padded seats have proved to be a very laborious sell). For this, he may must pay around $13,000 in taxes. Jeter, although, signed a couple of shirts and bats and reportedly supplied Lopez nothing at all.
This appears very poor customer support on Jeter's half. Certainly he may provide one thing a little more materials in order to indicate the worth to him of Lopez' magnanimous gesture.
If an outright donation is thought to be inappropriate, perhaps Lopez would possibly offer his freelance providers to assist Jeter on the customer support front. He would possibly supply him somewhat advice on the right way to enchantment to those who pay your wages.
Tonight, you see, Jeter is missing the All-Star recreation. He is claiming a calf injury, despite going 5-for-5 on Saturday. There's, little doubt, an All-Star bonus fee in his contract. Perhaps he might consider sharing that with Lopez in return for some advice.
Perhaps, although, if no gesture arrives on the a part of Jeter, the rest of the Verizon customer support world may stand in solidarity with their fellow salesman. Jeter is imagined to be the last word group participant, so he would absolutely appreciate the whole of Lopez' staff entreating the Yankee to supply more than some mere doodle dandy on a bat to such an altruistic fan.
Perhaps the facility of Twitter, the web or the textual content may be employed to carry attention to what seems like a slight dismissal of the humble cellphone salesman.
Customer support is a uncommon art. It will probably go awry with one misplaced word or one misplaced smile. Absolutely, on this case, the Verizon salesperson deserves a little higher and the Yankees' shortstop deserves to listen to about it now.
