My Exit Interview: A Remedy for Quiet Quitting

About this ebook
About the Book
My Exit Interview provides an alternative that completely changes the sales process, creates a sales team concept, makes everyone an owner, and all employees benefit as profits improve. The employees are stakeholders, physically engaged in their work, and no longer Quietly Quitting. They have a job to do so they do not let the team down!
The Quietly Quitting employees were sending a message to companies. Their work environment was not right for them. Was it the quitters, did something need to change, or was it a toxic workplace? The arrogant leadership teams turn a blind eye. Actually, they are not leaders, but rather managers that were promoted into leadership roles. Were they the right person for the job? True leadership will reevaluate the process and take everything under advisement.
My Exit Interview is for all employees. Jim Weaver’s new sales protocol is not a radical change, but rather a long overdue common sense approach supported by over forty years of sales experience. There are hundreds of books on tinkering with self-improvement and adjusting the current sales process. This book offers a completely new way of interfacing with the customer while building teams of employees dedicated to the success of their company!

To all those sales representatives
that had a manager ride in their passenger seat
for a few days.
Earlier in my sales career, I attended a sales training
seminar. This was an excellent seminar, and I learned
some very helpful information. One of the speakers
gave a quote that has stuck with me ever since
and is still true today and probably every day moving forward.
"If you always do what you have always done
then you will always get what you have always gotten."
This book may open your eyes to a better way.
Prologue
My first sales job was selling shoes in our downtown shoe store over the Christmas break. I was a junior in high school, and this shoe store was small and not high-end at all. A nicer shoe store was down the street, but the location of this store was perfect for foot traffic for holiday shopping.
A gentleman that previously worked for my father, when he had a furniture business downtown, had moved on and was now manager at this retail shoe store. He was a great guy and quite fond of our family. He called the house one evening and spoke with my dad, and then dad called me to get on the phone. Johnny would like to speak with you,
he said. I grabbed the phone. Hello?
He offered me a job for the holidays.
I had never sold shoes, or for that matter, never sold anything. He assured me I would do well and that all that was needed was some good training and a good work ethic.
Okay, and how do I get these?
He said, Let’s start next week.
I do not get out of school for another two weeks.
I know, but the key to selling is training, trust, and a good work ethic. You develop these and everything else sort of falls into place. Come in from 6 pm to 8 pm every day next week and I will train you. Plus, I will pay you.
I came in and shadowed him from 6 pm to 7 pm, the last hour of business. The door closed at 7 pm and business was over for the day. I learned a lot from watching and listening. The next hour, from 7 to 8 pm, was him providing detailed training and offering suggestions. He then helped me learn that enthusiasm is the main ingredient in
