Posted: 04 Jan 2018 08:47 AM PST I am in a market development role and I absolutely love being in sales. It is my dream to work from home and I was curious if anyone had any suggestions if where to start looking ? I comb through the internet daily for jobs and am not having good luck.

Posted: 04 Jan 2018 02:55 AM PST I worked in retail for 6 years previous to starting my own business, I was very good at selling in a shop setting but I find it near impossible to sell my own product via cold calling. My business partner currently takes care of the sales while I look after all other day-to-day aspects of the company. We can't afford to pay another sales person so I feel obligated to get back into selling. I tend to ramble on the phone and have a very hard time sticking to a script, I hate talking on the phone in my personal life but it's 10x worse when it's cold calling. I know that it's an irrational fear but I can't help but feeling that I am bothering people and I fear losing opportunities by making a bad call. Any help/tips would be much appreciated!

Posted: 04 Jan 2018 05:52 AM PST I am a new salesperson and the classic bagel stops every week or so just seem overdone. What is something I could give to customers/their offices that is unique and more memorable than a bag from Panera? Side note, is it okay to personally bake things (cookies, brownies) for customers or is that a little weird? [link] [comments] |
Preferred software for Web demo? Posted: 04 Jan 2018 11:34 AM PST Need to walk prospects through on spreadsheet automation capability (one-on-one screen share). Used Skype in previous life. Would appreciate opinions on other options such as: join.me; GoToWebinar; VSee; Meeting Burner; or any others [link] [comments] |
Posted: 04 Jan 2018 10:52 AM PST Hey guys, I've been having trouble finding good phone prospectors. I just hired a guy and he is supposed to make about 50 calls a day and he's not even hitting half of that. Anyone have any advice for hiring a consistent person? Thank you in advance!

Anyone have experience in a Strategic / Outside Biz Dev role? Selling Edtech (K-12) in US & Canada Posted: 04 Jan 2018 07:01 AM PST Haven't seen much regarding a similar role in r/Sales before, so I figured I would post. I am about to start a new role as a SDR with a European start-up, working remotely in a relatively unpenetrated market. The job is a very strategic SDR position where I will be responsible for biz dev activities, while also doing frequent onsite demos with my target market consisting of private and public K-12 schools. I will be pitching to teachers via phone/email, as well as demoing our product in person and at various conferences/trade shows. I am wondering if anyone here has experience in a similar role, or any relevant industry experience that they could comment on? I'm excited about the prospect of travelling this early on in my career (as I can't afford to do so outside of work), however my main goal is obviously to be successful so any advice is appreciated. As a background, I have local outside sales experience in photocopiers and SDR experience in Enterprise SaaS. Thanks! [link] [comments] |
If it were you, which sales company would you work for in the UK, and why? Posted: 04 Jan 2018 10:19 AM PST Good afternoon guys. Firstly, a big thank you for creating such a useful resource on the world of sales. I've learnt and continue to learn a lot! Some background. I recently got out of the intellectual property law world where I was two years in to training to become a patent attorney. Great pay prospects, but to me, super boring work. Think 99% sitting behind a screen critically analysing some of the most dense and archaic language you'll have ever come across, in the context of a particularly complex area of law. If you'd like a taste of what a (mechanical invention) patent document looks like, check out: Now, I learnt plenty, with carry-over if I want to protect my or someone else's ideas in the future, but the thought that I would be doing that for years to come stole my ability to enjoy life. Anyway, I don't truly know what I want to do for work long-term, but my broad eventual ambitions are to work for myself, and I keep coming across the theme that to make a success of any idea, amongst many other skills, you need a solid foundation in sales and marketing. I'm not throwing out the possibility that I might love sales forever, but for now I see it as a part of my bigger-picture training. In that vein, I hoped that you guys could recommend some UK companies with sales departments that you think would be great to work for, mostly in terms of the training provided, but also from the company culture and remuneration perspectives. If not specific companies, then maybe resources I could use to find out for myself. Ideally these would be companies in or around London or the South East of England, though I'm open to living elsewhere too. I studied mechanical engineering at university though have never been very interested in that world. My real interests are very broad, though, and include things like exercise and health science, as well as practical training recommendations, methods for learning more effectively, more effective communication methods, rising trends in technology... Basically I like learning about a lot of things but also engaging other people about the subjects, not spending forever alone tied to a PC. I'm also hell-bent on self-improvement. Have a good evening! Nemo [link] [comments] |
Cold-Calling and snowstorm NYC Posted: 04 Jan 2018 10:06 AM PST Anyone in the NE making cold calls today and getting through to businesses? [link] [comments] |
Received this email from a recruiter Posted: 04 Jan 2018 09:52 AM PST I received the following email this morning. In this type of email, recruiters will tell me something along the lines of, XYZ company looks like a great fit, they're looking for someone like you. However, this time around, this particular recruiter seems a bit vague, the company name isn't mentioned and they go straight to money talk. Is this normal among sales jobs? I haven't been in a job hunt in several years. My question is, how do you distinguish real opportunities among not so credible, legitimate ones? Here's the email: Hi izzthebizz, Your background looks like it could be a great fit for a Sales Rep opportunity with a growing Bio-pharmaceutical Company! Details: High-Growth, Publicly Traded BioPharma Company *Target call points: Orthopedics, Rheumatologist and Pain Management *Compensation includes: base salary, pay-for-performance bonus structure, stock options, car allowance, gas card, full benefits *Great opportunity for quick upward mobility! * Top reps are making over $200K plus! * Individual Territory! For immediate consideration, please upload your resume to xyz recruiter company Once your info is received, a recruiter will be in touch. Xyz company looks forward to working with you!

What skills are the best to add to resume? Also any examples of good profiles/summaries? Posted: 03 Jan 2018 06:18 PM PST Title basically says it all. I'm looking to tweak my resume again and am wondering what key words and phrases you feel will resonate the most with potential employers. Looking to land a job in tech sales and have experience with ag sales, foodservice sales, and call center experience selling various products and programs. Thanks! [link] [comments] |

Took a new position, nervous, looking for advice. Posted: 03 Jan 2018 09:20 PM PST So I have been in retail sales virtually my whole life. I have always been successful at it, got with a company that has a great pay structure and started making the most I have ever made. Due to my success, I was hired on to a team that deals mostly in trade shows and state fairs etc. It's fast paced, high volume, and very lucrative. These guys usually make between 150-350k depending on volume of sales. I went from 35k at a dead end company 8 months ago, to 80k in the spot I'm in now, to the potential to be high on the list of the new department. I'm intentionally being vague about what it is specifically because I don't know company policy about publicly talking about what we make etc. But as far as trade shows and working a booth goes, any advice for grabbing clients and closing deals on the fly? I am all about report building, selling value in my product, and I am an advocate for what I sell. Do I just need to chill out and do my job? I have the jitters. [link] [comments] |

Enterprise Software Sales comp at Oracle/ Silicon Valley vs. London Posted: 03 Jan 2018 05:55 PM PST I'm considering a career change and would move to Silicon Valley if I could get a Visa from the UK but it will take years. I have worked in SaaS as a developer/data scientist and have Oxbridge STEM degree. I've heard about Enterprise Software sales comp being about $250k with some $400k years. But it may take a few years to get to that point. http://wallstreetplayboys.com/enterprise-sales-a-legitimate-career-to-get-rich/ Does anyone here know compensation income distributions for sales people at a firm like Oracle here in the UK? Tech/software salaries are much lower for developers in London than SV. It sucks. Is this also the case for sales comp? [link] [comments] |
How to go about salary negotiations for a newly created position? Posted: 03 Jan 2018 01:59 PM PST My company is deciding to promote me to "senior SDR" which is some sort of hybrid between an SDR and an account executive. I'll be doing a little bit of the duties of both, but I'm not sure how to get average salary info because there isn't much out there. Currently in Orange County. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Additional information: I've been at the company for 9 months now [link] [comments] |
