Special Session for ‘Losers’ —DeWese

Monique LaFlamme: "I tried real hard that month. I would have had some sales, but the plant, customer service and the accounting department messed up the three jobs I sold. They all blamed me for losing the sales, claiming that I took incorrect specs, or that I misquoted the job when I tried to bump the estimate or when I specified the wrong paper. Picky, picky, picky. If those sales had gone through, they would have totaled about $2,750, which is about 5 percent of my monthly draw quota. So, thanks to my incompetent co-workers, I am $225,000 under my quota and the three customers won't take my phone calls."
