However, in User:Conservatives perverted sense of justice, the victim has no right to defend himself. User:Conservative has posted this reasoning twice now, on the original page and here.

| − | ===Dissection of email===
| |
| − | In the email User:Conservative sent me and supposedly Andy (I have no way of knowing) on Sept 20, 2023 he says here,
| |
| − | :"I also worked for a sales training company in the past and '''went through all their training."'''
| |
| − | Without getting into what a "sales training company" is (for example Kirby Vacuum Cleaners), let's look at the effectiveness of User:Conservative's sales training:
| |
| − | :"Conservapedia hasn't had a problem with '''gossip'''. Most contributors to wikis are males and most men are not given to injecting '''gossip''' about other contributors. If you could do something about the recent spate of '''gossip''' that RobSmith wants to inject into Conservapedia, it would be much appreciated. Conservapedia certainly doesn't want to embarrass itself due to '''gossip'''. I know when you founded this website you were very adamant about Conservapedia not having '''gossip'''."
| |
| − | I'm sold. User:Conservative sold me on the word "gossip". His sales training paid off. He used the term 'gossip" 5 times so it would stick in the prospects mind.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <Disclosure: I myself am a former sales trainer (trainer, not trainee), and in one 4 year period in the early 1990s trained over 5,000 sales people who averaged $15 per hour after my training. Not a bad rate of pay when the minimum wage was $5 per hour. I have a zillion stories to tell about people I thought had little or no talent and became top producers, or people I had high hopes for who turned out be lazy slouches. Moral: Don't prejudge, give everybody a chance. I also got pretty good at picking out [[sociopath]]s (though not always) when they walked thru the door. There are lots of them is sales (IOWs, "What's in it for me?" rather than "Win-Win"). In User:Conservative's case, I could probably make him a better salesman, not just in fundamental sales but advanced technique. But he's too stubborn and uncooperative to work with other people. A Lone Wolf.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | For the record, I made my first cold call at the age of 4 with my brother who was 5 (my job was to stand there and look cute while he gave the pitch) and have tried to count a gross total of lifetime sales, including residuals, but gave up at $240,000,000. It becomes impossible to count when you sell continuing contracts.>

| |
| − |
| |
| − | Why do I bring this up? Cause recent events have caused me to think about ethical issues. There are people in sales - probably more than any other field - who bring disrepute not just on the company, but the entire sales profession. And these aren't the people who flunk out, they tend to be highly successful. But as a sales trainer and manager, I have to watch out for them, and terminate them despite how much money they bring in to the company after being caught and warned for ethical violations. And who am I protecting? Myself? My fellow workers? the company? the public? Most of all the profession, cause as professional sales people, we deliver what people want and need, and benefit both the producer and consumer. Without us, the whole economy collapses. And a bad sales person only makes our job harder to regain the public's trust.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Do I think User:Conservative is a bad sales person? Probably not. If anything, he seems to be struggling at times (I am politely saying I don't think he's been all that successful). But if I had caught him in some of the technical and ethical breaches in a sales position that I see here daily, and if he failed to live up to standards after proper warnings and instructions, he'd have been gone a long time ago - and this is my own personal motivation - not to protect the company name, but the profession.
