What Insubordination Did Colonel Sanders Do With Prudential Life Insurance?

Upvote:2

According to this wiki entry on Colonel Sanders, he was notoriously hard to get along with. Prior to Prudential Insurance, he had gotten fired from two jobs as a lawyer, one for getting into a fight with a colleague, the other for getting into a fight with a client.

In selling, there are two things likely to get a salesman fired: 1) Not selling enough and meeting your "quota," and 2) Not getting along with the sales manager or other higher ups.

Given his history and the charge of "insubordination," it was most likely the latter. We can infer that Sanders knew how to sell, given his later history with KFC.
