Dan,
This reminds me of a copier sales place my wife worked. They had this
salesman Chris. Every month Chris sold his quota plus one machine to get
his bonus, and he worked just four days a week. this infuriated management,
they knew Chris only worked four days a week. Another salesman never made
quota, and had lots of good excuses. They decided to give the guy who never
made quota the 'good' territory, and to teach Chris a lesson they gave him
the bad territory. So what happened? The guy who never made quota got even
worse, Chris had already picked off all the low hanging fruit. Chris on the
other hand was now sweating it out 3 days a week, and selling two bonus
machines! My wife asked him how this was possible. He said he had never
seen such a pristine untouched territory. This of course made management
very angry, because Chris was clearly not a team player. So they fired
Chris, and kept the loser. Chris promptly went to work for a competitor,
where he absolutely killed his old employer every week, working 3 days a
week! They closed about a year later.
