Pros

After working in sales for 5 years, I was lucky to be given them opportunity to start my career at Peninsula, now ten years later I am still have peace of mind that it was the best decision I ever made.

I undertook the BST role for 6 of those years but for the last 4 Year’s, a floor manager.

In my time, I have seen people come and go, but it’s safe to say that the ones that are still with us are an asset to the department and are still here because of their fantastic drive and their determination to succeed in an exciting sales environment.

What is frustrating for me is to read some of the negative reviews of the sales department on this site. From fragments of their comments and the time frame in which they are written, it can be quite easy for us to piece together who has created them. The common theme with these reviews is that the employees who wrote them left us because simply they did not perform in the role and didn’t have the resilience required to thrive in a target driven department like this.

For many of these people that leave us, this will be after months and months of our great trainers trying to help them, our QA’s working hard with them to help them improve their calls, or the managers devoting hours of their time side by side coaching to try to support and develop them.

So in the end those people are not a loss to us as a business, as it means we can focus our efforts helping the existing people who want to reach their potential.

So these negative reviews I read are just not a true reflection of this department.

What we have to remember here is that we are a highly successful sales team, that hasn’t come easy or just by chance, it has happened because of the successful people we have in the department working extremely hard being able to cope in a hardcore sales environment, so they earn the rewards to go with that which they very much deserve! Those people continue to succeed because of the fantastic management team we have as the driving force behind them and the Head of Telesales supporting them every step of the way.

Month on month we are smashing targets, year on year we are growing as a business, so we need people on board who are also going to grow with us

If people have the right attitude and want to prosper in this company- they will!

Advice to Management

Pros

I have been grafting here for a few months now, working in the marketing department. I am situated on the 9th floor, known as Cloud 9. It is a very nice place to work, the staff are friendly towards one another. I am allowed the freedom to do my work without being micro managed. Peninsula has free breakfast on Mondays and free fruit on Wednesdays which is nice. Also there is free tea and milk and the kitchens and toilets are generally clean.
