Yeah, I can feel the crunch. Management has started their threats again. (Not just to me but all the sales folks. Make calls, make more calls, find opportunities! WE ARE WATCHING YOU. You must document everything in a very slow CRM that takes forever to change screens. We don’t care that you spend most of the day waiting for the CRM. Do it at after work. Uh, but that’s called after work for a reason. If I am sitting for hours trying to enter activities then it’s still work, right?
I got home at 8:00. Pissed away an hour eating and putzing. Turned my computer back on around 9ish and worked until 11. I still didn’t finish everything. I wonder if I am trying to accomplish too much? I feel like I should be able to do it. It shouldn’t be so difficult. I gotta tell you, I sometimes have fantasies of going to Staples and buying a copy of ACT! I know ACT! would be faster and easier to use than the million dollar CRM I am trying to use. And I would be able to use it on the train and places where I can’t get Internet.
Just curious – do you use salesforce?
We use their bug tracking software and I feel your pain. The afternoon is the worst.
That’s too bad about mgmt not being sensitive to the needs of their employees 🙁
No Siebel. I’ve worked with Salesforce in the past though. I don’t remember it being terribly bad. Siebel is simply horrific. I spend my day just w…a…i..t…i…n..g for it. If it were alive, I honestly think I could kill it and experience joy.
