Judy Adkins is having a miserable night.  The 58-year-old telemarketer is on her 21st call on the evening shift, but so far, she has sold just one bank credit card application.  She is becoming impatient as she waits for her computer to dial the next prospect.  Finally, she hears the beep in her headset and the prospect’s name appears on her computer.
“About time”, she mutters.  There is confusion all around her, but it is rather tame tonight.  Everyone except Judy is close to meeting their goals.  For some unexplainable reason, tonight is not going well for her. 
A young supervisor, not yet 30, Adkins guesses – has now moved into position just behind her.  Adkins knows she is in for some tough comments.  “You’re not holding up your end of the wagon tonight, Judy.”  The supervisor is gone before the words are out of her mouth.
“I don’t need to hear that now!” she says.
But Ms. Adkins knows that the pressure goes with the job.  She is a seasoned veteran, having over six years of experience in a variety of telemarketing industries.  Adkins is one of the most senior people in her current job, having just finished her second year.  For her and other experienced callers, the daily goal is 100 calls for an eight-hour shift.  The expected “conversion rate” is 15 percent of those who listen long enough to count as a presentation.
Adkin’s current supervisor is intense, demanding, and quick to criticize.  Frankly, all of them have been that way.  “Their job is just as tense as mine”, she says, “If they don’t fill their sales targets, they’re history, just like us”. 
Because most supervisors occasionally eavesdrop on calls with mobile phones, they are quick to give feedback.  Some are positive, such as “Judy is a goal buster – way to go, Judy!”
More often, however, what employees hear are “suggestions” for improving their sales pitch, such as “Slow the presentation down” or “Don’t ad-lib the script!”  While Adkins wants recognition as much as anyone, she has become somewhat jaded from the insincerity.  She would rather have more pay or benefits, but neither is in the cards.
Most telemarketers are paid an hourly wage plus commission.  For Adkins, that amounts to about $8.75 per hour plus approximately $5.00 for commissions – about $13.75 per hour on a good day.  There are no health benefits, and if you believe telemarketing executives, no prospects for any in the future.
Adding to the tension are the customers.  Telemarketing is tough, stressful work, Besides the fact that the boss may well be listening in, some hostile customers will verbally heap abuse on the telemarketer.  Profanity is common, and there is nothing to do but continue to be polite and take it.
The constant stress takes a toll on everyone.  The turnover rate is one of the highest in the country.  The average time worked as a telemarketer is only 11 weeks (not months or years).  Those who want to make it a career hope to break into management, where pay and benefits are much better.  But that usually requires more education and youth.  The last opening for a supervisor’s position drew over 50 applications.



QUESTIONS
Assume you are a management consultant called in to analyze the turnover problem.  You are told that pay and benefits are fixed and cannot be substantially altered.  It is clear that whatever you recommend must not bring productivity down.  Drawing upon the motivational theories we have learned, what would you recommend to management?

How might the telemarketer’s job be redesigned so that employees are more satisfied and challenged by their work?  Is telemarketing a job that can be enriched and remain highly productive, or is it more like an assembly line?

How might the supervisors be contributing to the problem?  What recommendations would you make about changing their styles?

Consider such strategies as team competition and alternative work schedules.  What do you think would happen if they were implemented?

Responses of 100 or more words to following 3 forums seperatly on(share your experiences in landing a business or logistics job.  If you are currently in a military logistics billet, share your experiences.  How did your logistics work center bring the new member up to speed, and how long did it take?  If in business or logistics, what special training classes or on-the-job training have prepared you for the future?) Responses should be a minimum of 100 words and include direct questions.

1. After my military retirement I worked as a Quality and Safety Supervisor in the civilian sector waiting to get hired by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). A year after my retirement, I was finally hired for my current job. Overall, I feel my college degree, military experience and fuel related courses have prepared me for my current position.

While preparing to transition from the military, I realize my dream job which I had been preparing for over 15 years most likely not be hiring immediately.  I conducted the following strategy to get a local job until I could get hired with DLA:
Used the base transition office to research every local position and company they had access too.
Attended every job fair in the 60-mile radius one year away from retirement.
Started to use local and non-local contacts to network and search for hiring opportunities.
Conducted a search of every logistics, production, and transportation company in the 60-mile radius of my house. I looked at current openings, salaries, benefits and contacts for networking opportunities. 
Created 10-12 different resumes for different positions.
Lessons learned:
Networking works. My next-door neighbor, who worked at a manufacturing plant was looking for an assistant supervisor to help with operations. My official title was Quality and Safety Supervisor, but I assisted with the supervision of all shift employees including the drivers and mechanics. After my departure, the company decided to replace me with another Veteran due to our disciple and flexibility to adapt to different operations (supervision, maintenance, transportation, manufacturing, etc.).

Apply for multiple positions and interview as much as possible for the experience (even if you’re not sure you want the job).  I was really interested in a small group leader positions at a Target Distribution Center. Industries like target recruit Veterans for their leadership skills and offer a good starting salary. I went through the interview process but did not get selected. I also rejected a couple of other offers that required me to move. All the experiences improved my interview skills which prepared me for my current job.

Have at least one mentor. Mentors provide mentorship Advice, Support, Guidance, and help you network. My most influential mentor has been advising me since 2004. He first informed me about
opportunities with DLA and has help me shaped my career and training goals.


2. I am currently in a military logistics billet, but as a strategic logistics planner. Therefore the job I am in is very unique, and one that I was selected for amongst my peers. As stated in the lesson, my job is by far the most challenging position in my organization in that I am the solo representative from my organization, reporting as required, and working with a large team on a large scale project. When I left my previous job, I was responsible for sponsoring my replacement, and teaching him all of my duties and responsibilities to ensure the logistics operations did not stop or have any hiccups during our transition. The relief in place (RIP) process took two weeks, with the first week requiring me to be responsible for all operations with my replacement shadowing me, and then the second week with my replacement running operations, with my supervision.
When I moved into my new job, I was not fortunate enough to have someone to teach me the duties and responsibilities, since it’s a very unique job and one that was “created” for me by my senior commander. As a strategic logistics planner, there is a class that I could go to, however, the course is in Virginia, and my unit does not intend to send me to Virginia from Hawaii for the three week course since I’ve been doing the job for over a year and am reportedly doing a very good job of it. I have largely been learning through on the job training and deliverables such as executive summaries and quarterly briefs to my senior commander updating him on operational plans and other significant updates as required. Since the assignment is very unique, one of the most important things my senior commander and I have had discussions on is “how do we portray the significance of the job on paper?”
Oftentimes, as stated in the lesson readings, presenting skills and experience on a resume can be daunting. Therefore, having a leader who will also be a reference on future interviews is a substantial “follow through” to assist in landing the next job. Does this sound like a “due diligence” effort from a former boss?

3.I found the reading about the transportation and logistics management field this week very informative.  Currently, the company I work at now as a Manager is for general maintenance and project management, sharing a lot of the same traits in management task in comparison.  Looking at the salaries, a purchasing manager, logisticians, and industrial production managers salary in contrast to mine, is far more significant.  The lesson mentioned the need for networking, which is what I am currently doing by seeking employment and asking around to others in different industries trying to see what jobs are available.  Luckily I am in the Seattle area where companies such as Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Boeing, etc. have a significant corporate presence with high paying jobs.  My current position is unique, in which I formerly was employed just as a technician.  Once the management realized I had other qualifications, we discussed a future with the company, what I was capable of, and goals.  I knew I was overqualified for the position in which I applied for, just having a job after being laid-off I felt a job no matter what it was is better than nothing.  Before getting the job, I had applied for the position multiple times following up with management until given the opportunity. 
For a leader in the career field of a project, management position experience in areas such as framing, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, etc. is desired.  A Bachelor's degree is typically required, but most of the PMs usually hold no degrees for smaller companies.  Larger ones look for candidates but typically do not like to pay the money to retain them.  With so many tech jobs in the area, it is hard for smaller companies to afford the more expensive qualified candidates.  Being brought up to speed is challenging for me because of our tempo.  I have been at this company for a year now. We stay so busy; it is hard to get a chance to learn administrative tasks.
In comparison to logistics, I buy products and supplies, negotiate contracts, deal with customers minimizing risk and cost, make sure production stays on schedule, train and hire employees, etc.  With time my duties increase and responsibilities.  The training and experience I have is a combination of my life experience, in my opinion.  Taking advantage of classes and furthering my education, learning new trades, and volunteering to learn a new task.  My current job now is preparing me for future obtainable positions in management. I am now more qualified to take on.  With more significant projects in monetary value, it is helping me grow a portfolio for further career advancement in related and unrelated fields that deal with project management, production, etc.
