It really wasn't my fault, but Chuck, the previous sales manager, had a spy in our telemarketing office. He left Polybau and started his own company, but his spy would tell him where we were marketing and he would go into customers homes after I went in first. He would tell them they were getting Polybau quality windows, but he would sell them for 10% less and use lower quality extrusions. By the end of the summer, he got caught doing installations without a contractor's license and was sued by a number of his customers. I warned Fritz what was going on, but he didn't do anything about it. I lost a lot of sales that summer.

Don't. The company is a multi generational company located in Austria. I actually went to the headquarters to see Fritz when I went to Austria. However Fritz sold the company to Jacek, who no longer uses Rehau extrusions, but those of a lower quality. There is a woman who is the sales person now. She's smart, but the quality of the work isn't as good as when Fritz owned it.

Tom, who was the general manager was a great guy. He was very fair and appreciated the job I did for the company -- I was the top sales representative over a three year period. I liked the quality of the work performed by John, who was the chief installation person. Combined with Rehau extrusions, the end product was one I could be proud of.

I began working at Polybau Windows and I complained to Chuck, the Sales Manager about travel times when the company sent me to an appointment in San Francisco, then San Jose, then Walnut Creek, in evening commute traffic. He stopped giving me any leads for a month. I closed a number of customers who I had seen previously over the prior two months during that time.
