| Hard to work in the sales industry while being a stutter Posted: 08 Sep 2018 08:39 AM PDT This is my first post in Reddit I currently working in a telemarketing position on an English educational institutes in Vietnam. My main role is an outbound TMK which demands me to call all the leads get from marketing department and invite them to our local branches for English test and let the Educational Consultants close the deals I have been work for 2 months. I do not see any of my current problem occur beside my voice. Being a stutter is really difficult to let customer hear me clearly. Most of the time, I have to speak slowly but when I encounter a difficult words, I either stop for a second and or speak the word mutltiple time. I want to do sales because I want to talk to people and working in educational industry. However, being a stutter is really extremmly difficult to me to continue. My manager has given her opinion I should speak slowly but it is just an act of avoiding not to cure it. I feel like when I am under stress, my stutter increase. There was some customer acted very rude to me via the phone because I can get a damn word out. There is 1% of world popultion is stutter and I am one of them. Anyone can give me an advice how to keep doing sales while being a stutter. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 08 Sep 2018 12:29 AM PDT Hey, I applied for a sales job recently and got a positive response yesterday. This is the first sales position I applied for and I'm bit confused by how the wage works. HR will send me all the info on Monday but I wanted to know what to expect now. So here is what they offered me and told me: they offer 35k gross salary (much better than my current job) and then they told me the wage works 80% salary / 20% commission. That's where I'm confused. Does this mean that 35k is my base salary and I will get this no matter what, and that they will take 80% off my commissions and give me the 20% remaining? Or does that mean that I will only earn 80% of 35k (about 28k then), and get commissions? I'm completely new to the sales jobs. I should have asked them directly but they only told me that when they called me to say I had the job and I was so excited I didn't really think about asking them. I did some research later but I find an info and then find a completely different one. Now I feel a bit stupid and hope that works well for me. [link] [comments]  |
| What is apple selling in the B2B space? Posted: 08 Sep 2018 11:12 AM PDT I've seen many jop postings popping up for Enterprise AEs at Apple. What does apple sell at the Enterprise level (besides iPhones/laptops)? The job descriptions are very vague. Anybody have any insight on what it's like selling for them? [link] [comments]  |
| 17th Rep within the company to pursue this lead, how do I differentiate myself? Posted: 07 Sep 2018 03:06 PM PDT I'm pursuing a large potential customer for my company and am the 17th rep to do so, 16 previous have no success other than gaining decision maker contact info. Have any of you been in the same position and succeeded? Is it all about timing or is there something you can point to that has helped land them? Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| Find the time out of your busy schedule to meet? Posted: 07 Sep 2018 05:15 PM PDT Hey all, I started my new software sales role a few months back and wanted to seek some advice on how to secure more meetings with existing clients. The company I have joined has a very popular solution around operating systems and we have a huge database of clients. The challenge is customers only know us for our flagship products and not the other solutions we have acquired over the years. The challenge I have is trying to shift that mind set within my first reach out whether it's call or email, so the client can see we can add value in other areas they may need help in. Keen to hear some suggestions from you guys on how you would go about setting a meetinh with your clients for other discussions than the popular product they currently have. Challenges I face when speaking to them is they will brush me off as their investment with us is tiny and don't see the value as they only know us for one product. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 07 Sep 2018 04:31 PM PDT It's just so frustrating when you work with a client and build up their ticket and they are ready to pay. But the bank flags their purchase because it's a big one. Won't let them make a purchase.Then you send them the form to fill out the credit card payment online form and then it's time to pay and they ghost you. They don't answer your follow up call and email with no explanation. [link] [comments]  |
| Car sales, what would you teach to someone just starting out? Posted: 07 Sep 2018 08:53 PM PDT I've done sales for a while but this will be my first time doing car sales. What, when you started doing it, made all the difference in the number of cars you'd sell each month? Ways of building report, handling objections, closing, value etc [link] [comments]  |
| Did LISN search feature get worse? Posted: 07 Sep 2018 03:46 PM PDT I've been using Sales Navigator for a few years now and recently saw the email saying Sales Nav search functionality was improved. Is this total bullshit that LinkedIn is feeding us? Most recently I have been searching for System's Administrators doing work in the cloud (specifically AWS). If I do a lead search for just "AWS" in the keyword section and leave all other filters blank I get 2,432. I find it extremely hard to believe that this is a full list of the prospects that list AWS on their profile. Is this the same for others? Am I just being stupid and not understanding how this tool works? [link] [comments]  |
| Is it fairly common to receive almost zero coaching in an SDR at a tech company. Posted: 07 Sep 2018 05:42 PM PDT Currently working as an SDR at a company that sells digital directories. Not my first choice of a product to sell however since starting 2 months ago I've been contacted by a couple of recruiters looking to fill BDR positions at large enterprise SaaS companies in my city. I've turned them down though because I want to build a resume some more before I go to the next job, since my city has a very high unemployment rate. In my current job right now there is literally zero coaching and i've been figuring out things by myself. My boss more or less wants me to just call around and get conversations going with property manager and DM's at universities and get them to agree to allowing me to send them the company brochure lol. I decided not to do this when I started the role and instead use a contact strategy with 6 touches over 30 days split between short customizable email templates (cadences) and phone calls. I'm doing very well and can bring in 5 appointments a week largely thanks to email templates however I'm not strong on the phone and don't know how to sell over the phone. I can have a conversation over the phone no problems but don't know how to actually generate any interest with prospects. So, I guess my question is is it fairly common to come into a new role and have almost zero coaching on certain procedure such as how to sell over the phone or will I continue to see this at other sales jobs I go to?

| Solid Bluetooth Headset for Office? Posted: 07 Sep 2018 01:26 PM PDT We have a pretty up and coming sales team in our brokerage and seats are filling up...what's a solid bluetooth, noise cancelling headset? I'm currently using a Plantronic CS540. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 07 Sep 2018 02:56 PM PDT I post this as someone who is not a part of a privileged group at all, you guessed it, I am a minority. As someone who aspires to build a successful sales career and sell for the biggest names in SaaS, I actually believe there are things about me I cannot change (ethnic appearance) that may have limited my career to some degree. It seems like you cannot avoid it, I look on LinkedIn whenever I am looking through my feed or prospecting and I come across it so many times. The message that we need more "women in sales" or how "women are the best sellers". For one, I think that your resume and presentation skills should speak above all else but the fact that this message is generating so much support, I feel like I had to share this. The message is misleading, really it should be "where the white women at?". The complaints are that there aren't enough women in sales but look on the sales team for most of the top SaaS companies (Salesforce, LinkedIn, etc.) and observe carefully. You will find that white women are probably the most abundant group on there. Now as a minority myself who has been called racial slurs to his face and had to deal with racial profiling in the past, I kind of wonder why is it that so many of these progressives are going out of their way to fight to get more white women in sales. Where are the Asian women? How about black women? How about Hispanic women? How about minorities in general? Why can't we be honest and just say "look, where the white women at?" instead of talking about how we need more "diversity" on sales teams? So there is a push to really just more white women into sales and its working, not sure what it solves, but it makes me sick to my stomach as a minority to see progressives using the struggle, injustice and all of that as a platform to make this happen. Lets be politically incorrect again, compared to a person of a minority group, I do think with all else being equal (keyword) that a white woman probably has an easier life in the US. If sales orgs want to push more white women into their sales teams, I am all good with that. What frustrates me is how we are getting behind this whole injustice in society, speaking about how all men are evil (as if white women have it that much harder than a man of a minority group) and somehow trying to act as if we are fighting against some major injustice when really, the issue everyone has is that there aren't enough white women on sales teams. Because I already know that people want to hire those that are like them, a white woman in charge is going to hire others like her. Meaning, she'll hire other white women but somehow, minorities get their resume thrown in the trash. So not sure why we're trying to act as social justice warriors here. I get it, minorities don't matter and never really have, but can we just be a bit more straightforward about what we want? [link] [comments]  |
