DDP they are some of the nastyest people I have ever delt with.
What is there problem???
I spoke with 1 of the regional managers today BOB again and he is trying to deny the whole thing and run
BMS into the ground.
BMS has there problems I know this !!
But this is uncalled for.
Has any else had anything to do with DDP???
I will start a new topic... |

Hey Amity:
Glad yu got out of VSA hell and found yourself sumpthin good. A rep from BMS I know said that the Kentucky region isnt being let go until the 13th of May.  Poor guy
As far as training goes, my whole training with them consisted of sitting in a store for 3 days and listening to my trainer tell me his old Lowe's stories. He had no idea how to use a PDA or even the camera.
I went to the training in March of last year and it was a circle jerk. Every day was 8-10 hours of listening to these manufactorers telling us how they wanted us to sell their products. By the time i left, i had forgotten everything. I do, however, remember the Vice President of Lowe's Marketing telling us how much Lowes loved VSA/BMS and we were going to be around Lowes for awhile. Anyway, glad you ppl got out in one piece and if BMS's replacements pay that low, good luck to them!!!! |

Hi Ricky B,
No as of today on Company Voice mail,
The South Central is being let go Friday the 22.
They moved up the west coast to the 29 th with us here in Colorado.
Everyone will be gone by the 29 th and the trainers are now in SC getting trained by Benchmark/DDP thats the company they will work for..
So RICK you were at the meeting in March so was my ex he said it was a circle jerk toooooo!!!!
I am part time so I wasnt invited...........
As far as Loving BMS/VSA Larry Stone no longer does the vendor contracts,He stepped down and so did the Old CEO of Lowes..
I am so sick of Corporate America.
Everyone is in bed with everyone..
I am gonna open up a resale shop and live happily ever after |

Sydney--
One of the BMS reps in that lives near me and took a job with VAST was complaining thursday at lunch ( i still meet the vendors at the stores for lunch about once a week) that they get DAILY voicemails from their division director stating that they have their contract and not to worry. He said if it was just once a week voicemail he wouldnt be worried but with this "reassuring" voicemail every day hes worried that he may not have a job much longer. We shall see pretty soon.

I have never heard of a company losing a contract to LOWES,
I think BMS is the first one.
There are some companys that have been there a long time.
And some need to go... |

Why dont we all write to Dave Struck and Mr Varnell to let him know what really went on in the field..
The whole thing ....
I know people who never went to there stores ..
Scanned in and out from there home on that bar code..
I heard so much stuff from the trainers and when they where in the stores.
Some of the reps never did a thing...

you are so right ,Sydney...BMS reps have nothing to be ashamed off. We gave it more than just a good try..
Has anyone heard that Home Depot was trying vendors program. If so, that might be a good place for VSA to look into |
