New Job Title

sherrymiller · May 2003

We have a "Regional Sales Manager" who received a promotion to a newly created position of "Assistant Sales Manager". (Sounds like a demotion - in reality this position would be right under the Senior Sales Manager). The "Senior Sales Manager" who gave the promotion really lacks in the creativity department when it comes to job titles. The promoted employee asked me to help him think of a new job title for this position. I thought it would be fun to come up with new titles, so far I've gotten "Junior-Senior Sales Manager", "Chief Sales Manager", "Sales Manager Elite", "MISSED Sales Manager" (Most-Important, Slightly-Subordinate, Economically-Disadvantaged). Has anyone ever had to come up with new job titles? Any ideas?

Hows 'bout Lead Sales Manager?

If the 'Senior Sales Manager' is in charge of all regions, then perhaps this title should be changed to 'Director of Sales' and the newly promoted person should become 'Assistant Director of Sales' or something like that. This would sound like more of a promotion from 'Regional Sales Manager.'

I like the way you think! Made my morning, although I have to clean up spewed coffee now.

I'm glad it made you laugh. One of my favorite characters in Dilbert is Ernie the Sales Weasel! Of course, the Consultick that attaches itself to your wallet and you can't shake it loose also sent me into gales of laughter, especially since several of my clients sent the cartoons to me!

My boss's definition of a consultant is: A person who borrows your watch to tell you what time it is.

Or anyone 50 miles from home with a PowerPoint presentation!

My profession gets no respect!
