.......again J you full of bullshit or you have been in some office way too
long.  up until the last quarter, there was a freeze on all spending.  No
hiring, no sending new hires to adt university.. so what did the new reps
do?  they went out alone J after 2 days in the office J.  Your under some
delusion if you beleive what you say. no adt rep hired within the last 6
months went to any training outside of his or her own confrence room.
again, stop your bullshitting unless you know what your talking about.
