Thread regarding Pearson PLC layoffs

Sales Operations taking over Sales Management

It's all happening. The reliance on OneCRM is systematically eliminating one on one management and we fully expect many of those people to be eliminated in short order.

Strange though. Allowing an ex SAP employee to implement their software solution into a highly diverse and evolving business in the midst of the largest shifts in competitive balance and personnel is absolutely mind boggling. Meanwhile, competitors are laughing at us. But here we are.

Learning Company? Industry Leader? Once upon a time, I guess. Night night.

No lay-off yet but it’s mostly likely coming. Once the company figures out where they can save or make money, then they will reorg.

"When was it a great ride? 1995?"

Yes, from 1995 through 2010 Pearson was printing $$... Top line growth driven by price increases, and rising enrollment hid a lot of bad decisions.

1CRM and the emphasis placed on making sure business is within one of the 17 selling stages is a joke.

And Sales Opps couldn’t manage a lemonade stand let alone a multi billion dollar biz.

1CRM = smoldering pile of sh!t.

One wonders if this was part of the plan all along, or they are making it up as they go along. If there was ever a time that competitors ( McCen-Hill) could rapidly take market share, this is it. Godspeed Pearson, it was a great ride while it lasted.
