| Posted: 06 Jan 2018 05:39 AM PST I've been in the restaurant industry for years, which isn't really a sales job per se, but I list it as such on my resume anyway. I've been job hunting for a real sales job for the past few weeks and I've had two interviews with two different companies in my city, at a logistics firm and a staffing agency. Both are outside sales gigs where I earn a salary + uncapped commission (~$40k base). While I haven't heard anything back from either one yet, I got an unexpected third opportunity at my restaurant. My boss pulled me into his office and offered me a marketing position for the restaurant. What that means is I get paid $20/hour to go drive to hotels, apartment complexes, etc. in my city and talk to the managers to help advertise the restaurant to increase business. I bring samples of our menu to share with them and in exchange they promote the restaurant to their occupants. The downside of this gig is that it will probably be only 10 or so hours per week, which is still fine since I can do it during the day and work regular shifts at night. I'm still really wanting to take a position at one of the two places I interviewed with, but in the event they both fall through, would this serve as a good way to gain marketing/sales experience? If I end up taking this position, I'd like to leverage it on my resume as much as possible to get out of the restaurant industry (been in it for MUCH longer than I'd like...) [link] [comments]  |
| I'm no longer running a business. My customers are running me. Posted: 05 Jan 2018 05:03 PM PST Hey everyone! I'm 22 years old and have built a business helping other businesses with email marketing/prospecting. I find the email addresses, write the copy, and send the emails. I started it almost three years ago. In 2017 it grew 20X from $2,000 in 2016 to $35,000 in 2017. I'm a one man show and run it solely off Facebook messenger. I'm friends with almost 5,000 entrepreneurs and all of my customers come from my friends list and referrals as well as networking. I'm no longer running the business. Customers are running me and putting me through the wringer with demands and pressure 24/7. I'm not complaining, but its getting tough to manage and please everyone. Some mornings I wake up to over 10 messages. If I don't respond immediately people get pissed off. Revenue wise, this is the biggest business I've ever built. Not to be dramatic, but this has all made me question whether I'm meant to be an entrepreneur or if I can even handle it. To be completely honest, I'm a sensitive/emotional guy. I just feel like customers are toying with my emotions in a way that is hard to explain. I've realized that customer service is 100% not my strong suit. I just don't know what to do. The last few weeks of December I took on 15 clients. All are in different industries. Some of the jobs and requirements have been way more strict/stringent than others. I just had to refund a guy $500 and he tore me apart over messenger on how bad it was I didn't meet his deadline he gave me and got chewed out. [link] [comments]  |

| Bachelor's in Business or Accounting? Posted: 06 Jan 2018 06:34 AM PST Hey guys. I've decided to finish up my bachelor's to expand my sales opportunities and to hopefully achieve a management position in the future. Just curious of your thoughts whether a business degree or Accounting degree would best help me. I know a business degree is more generally accepted for sales but thought the accounting degree would make me a unique candidate for certain positions when coupled with my 10+ years sales experience.

| Posted: 05 Jan 2018 04:55 PM PST Finding it hard to sell to franchises, as this objection keeps coming up. Obviously there are many things that are enforced from head-office level at a franchise, like the name of the company, branding colours etc. How would you go about trying to get a franchise head-office to make a purchase to be enforced on all franchisees?

| Posted: 05 Jan 2018 08:53 PM PST I currently have a few options, and I honestly don't know which product I would enjoy more. Looking for advice from those who have sold or currently sell these types of products: surgical tools, optometrists diagnostics tools, wound care disposables, insulin pumps, surgical robot disposables, or any other category you think is best! I am moving into the industry from B2B and want to choose the right company to stick with for a while. Open to all thoughts! [link] [comments]  |
| [Car Sales] Is selling ten cars a month a normal number to sell? Posted: 05 Jan 2018 06:01 PM PST I was offered a sales position at a Honda dealer in a small town of around 5,000 and the Op manager told me about 10 cars a month would make about 35k. (I think my math is right) Of course I'm new to this, how difficult is 10 cars a month difficult? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 05 Jan 2018 10:46 PM PST I've been working in a customer success role for the last two years and while I enjoy working in SAAS, I don't think customer success is the right role for me. I HATE answering support related questions from my clients. I also don't like how customer success is not fully fleshed out yet and you can work in anything from a support role to a strategy role. What I do enjoy about customer success is working with clients to map our software solutions to their problems. I also enjoy up-selling and cross-selling. Renewals not so much since it is a pain in the ass to gather the paperwork at my current job. I am wondering where I go for here. Not sure if a AE role is for me, but I am thinking about perhaps doing account management or sales engineering. Any thoughts on transitioning into those two fields? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 05 Jan 2018 03:06 PM PST Some backstory: I'm 23. Have been in the workforce for 5 months. Currently have a great job and prospects at the company but want to move home for family reasons. I contacted the place I did my co-ops at and we've discussed an offer. He sent me a list of milestones or goals and timelines. It's a lot for me to take in and seems a bit aggressive. What do you guys think? Keep in mind that I have a communication degree, have only worked in communication and social media marketing, and am only 23 with no formal sales experience. Also, this is a startup and I would be the only inside sales person. Here it is: Months 1&2: Starting
The first two months are key to getting you on the right path.
Email. You will send at least ten (10) emails each day. And, send at least seventy (70) emails each week. You will tailor each email to describe how one of our products and can their marketing needs.
Social media. You will use Twitter and LinkedIn to support your email sales. By the end of your first month, aim to have at least 25 new relevant connections on LinkedIn. By the end of the second month, aim for at least 25 more relevant connections.
Calls and other follow up actions. Each email will ask for a follow up action. This can be a call, a request for more information, video conference or in-person meeting. After one month, you will schedule at least three (3) calls, video conference or in-person meeting per month. And you will send at least five (5) follow up packages.
Months 2-4: Growth.
Emails will continue at the most recent pace. Continue to use social media to build your profile. Your goal should be 300+ relevant connections by the end of the year.
Now, it's time to build on the foundation. So, we will up some of these numbers. During months two, three, and four, you will: hold at least five (5) calls, video conferences or in-person meetings each month.
You and I will develop your proposals skills. Follow some or all of your calls, we will build programs using our products that help your clients achieve their goals.
Months 5 and 6: Proposals.
Emails and follow ups continue at the most recent pace. Now, it's time to start proposing. You will send out at least two (2) proposals in each of these months. These can stem from opportunities you create or as responses to requests for proposals (RFPs). Months 6-12: Sales. Time to start selling. You need to contract for at least one (1) program in months 6-9. And, you need to sell at least two (2) programs in months 10-12. Next year is next year. We will build a plan based on what we learn in year one. If you don't achieve these goals, your sales job may end. Now, on to the good news. Commissions.
For each program you sell worth at least twenty-five thousand U.S. dollars (US$25,000), you will receive a Cdn$1000 bonus at the time the client has paid.
At the end of the year, you will receive a bonus of one and half percent (1.5%) of all your sales paid in Canadian dollars. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 05 Jan 2018 03:47 PM PST Already have a science degree. Wondering if it's better to get a non sales entry level job in the company and move up or better to have another sales job to gain experience in and jump ship when I'm ready? [link] [comments]  |
| How to get a companies permission to sell their product through my online store Posted: 05 Jan 2018 10:17 PM PST working towards starting an online store, while launching my own line of vaporizers. Looking to not have a website dominated my my limited line of vapes, how do I go about getting a direct sales deal with some companies who already produce these products. As a secondary question, if I were to get a deal with a company would I be required to have a fulfillment service of my own or would the company ship it out through their own services. any insight appreciated. thank you!
