This is going Viral on Twitter today:
HDFC Bank Manager thrashing his junior for not selling enough insurance.
Easy to sit back and criticise the Manager here.
But understand the deeper issue:
[1] This is the case with almost all the corporates & Startups, not just HDFC.
LIC agents for example: have been known for mis-selling a lot of investment products, just to meet their sales targets.
[2] Most sales teams are given difficult targets to achieve by the higher authorities.
Sales agents/RMs are abused by customers, their bosses and their super-bosses.
This targets keeps getting more and more difficult by the year.
[3] If they wish to survive and feed their family: Sell, by hook or crook.
Any solution? Yes. The firms should not grow beyond a point.
There is no infinite growth in a finite world.
