Kinex Field Sales Manager Reviews

Pros

I have worked at Kinex previously, as a lead generator and have come back. So that's clearly says alot in itself. Love the atmosphere, the drive and the team efforts. The people are friendly, the training is fun but effective. Ongoing training a d development. I have progressed to management and don't regret coming back to the company (Length of employment is total)

Cons

No cons what so ever

Pros

You'll learn a lot about how not to do things

Cons

Promises of 4 leads a day wishful thinking. Pay withheld for very unclear reasons. Never able to speak to decision makers. Constantly advertise for your replacement. Managers unashamedly lie.

Pros

Flexible hours, Changing workspace, Never the same thing twice

Cons

Promise you good pay, but ultimately do not deliver Do not pay for petrol

Pros

nice colleagues. when make phone calls.

Cons

do not pay you commision for work you have done.

Pros

Friendly colleagues who go out of their way to help you and make all new staff feel welcome. Even the managers themselves are easy to get along with. It is a small office with a team of 8-12 sales agents. Office games are played at the beginning of the day and after lunch. Bonuses are achievable if luck is on your side.

Cons

Unrealistic targets are expected. You're expected to cold-call at least 250 businesses and at times the techniques used by Kinex are unethical such as lying to people. None of the calls are recorded for quality or training and I've seen Data Protection principles ignored many times by managers. The hours are long, 08:45 to 18:00 with 75mins of breaks. During the day, there are many obscene topics discussed which can be inflammatory; Managers constantly swear and talk inappropriately to female members of staff; There are constantly objects thrown across the office causing a major health and safety hazard. Management instigate a lot of this unprofessional behaviour.

Pros

There are no pros to working here

Cons

Promised 5 qualified appts a day. That is an appt with a business owner/decision maker with a phone bill ready. Max I got was 4 appts some days only 2. Only 50% of appts there was a decision maker with a phone bill. Then the kids in the telesales office tell you you're not doing your job properly when they have never sold in the field. Now I find out that I'm not being paid full commission because I've left. Do yourself a favour and don't join them

Pros

Ability to write your own pay cheques. Fun, Bubbly environment. Made £40,000 +

Cons

People that complain about the job and the company being bad but in reality its down to peoples effort and work rate.
