We was wondering if salesmen must speak proper

THE PROBLEM

I have recruited a sales person whose job is to represent our business to senior types in banks. He constantly uses the construct “we was”, as in: “We was hoping you'd recognise us as a sophisticated supplier.” He also peppers all his communications – spoken and written – with “piece” and “reach out” and “going forward” and “value added”. When I mentioned it, he said this was just the way he talked and was normal usage and I shouldn't worry about it. Should I?
