Part 1: Quiet Quitting and Firing

We've all seen the term "quiet quitting" and "quiet firing" over the last year in the headlines and on social media. But what does it really mean? Gina and Susanna define these terms and dig into how it may affect you in your current role. It may seem new, but they have been known by different names for decades. Gina explains what the common denominator is that allow both of these things to happen. They discuss how quality recruitment, strong company culture, clear communications, and keeping employees genuinely engaged are the biggest steps to combat these phenomena. They also explain strategies to employ in order to combat an unwarranted quiet firing situation, and how employers can justify terminating someone who is quiet quitting if they have the right framework in place to measure employee work standards. Gina and Susanna also come up with the 4 C's of communication that would help to avoid either of these situations from happening.    This is the first of a two part series covering two different topics that you don't want to miss, because you want to be prepared if you find yourself in either of these situations.   Level up with Sales Gravy & Sales Gravy University More about Gina Engagement Expert – Speaker – Sales Trainer – Entrepreneur – Improv Comic Gina is a Master Sales Trainer for Jeb Blount's Sales Gravy who combines street smarts and improv comedy skills with her experience in the corporate and entrepreneurial worlds, which sets her apart from her competition.  "Sass without too much crass" is how Gina Trimarco describes herself.

More About Susanna After graduating from Cambridge University in Music and Education, Susanna took her first sales role selling advertising space on websites. She's always been intrigued by the unfair negative stigma associated with sales and the way that after their initial excitement to work in sales, people will do everything they can to avoid actual prospecting. With 14 years of experience in recruitment, Susanna challenges this mindset through her successful business sourcing sales professionals into recruitment roles. Susanna decided to become a Sales Gravy Master Trainer because Sales Gravy's vision matches her own beliefs and values. She is committed to providing excellence and dedication to all of her trainees so that they can achieve their goals and succeed in sales.
