    How would you tell your customer you are switching companies?

    Posted: 06 Nov 2018 10:11 AM PST

    If you move to a different company that sells products in the same category as the company you are leaving, and you want to keep selling to your customers just in a different company, how do you go about doing so? I've never had a scenario like this before so I would appreciate any input.

    Thanks!

    Are successful salespeople born or made?

    Sales Job Feels Unreasonable

    Posted: 06 Nov 2018 09:35 AM PST

    Hey all, I've been at my current and first sales job for about two months. It's incredibly small, has very little resources, and I have received zero training. I make maybe one to two sale every two weeks. I keep trying to ask the one other sales person questions on how to do things and how to be successful and he consistently gives me non-answers and seems like he is intentionally trying to keep me in the dark.

    Today two things happened that extra make me wanna run far, far away.

    1. I found out the other salesman has been taking clients in my territory and fulfilling there orders behind my back
    2. My boss had a meeting with me where she told me I should stop asking the other salesman questions and "figure things out on my own"

    Generally the main questions I have been asking him our about pricing for our goods and if we have them in stock. I do this since he told me most of the prices and stock info is "in his head" and not in any database.

    I'm just at a crossroads because I'm currently actually through a staffing agency and don't receive any commission I've earned until I finish that contract in a month. I don't want to get screwed out of the commission, I want to make sure I can have a decent job lined up if I leave, I don't wanna be rude and leave without two weeks notice, and part of me is afraid this is just normal and I'm being a baby.

    Part of this is kinda venting, but I really would appreciate advice.

    MRO sales What do I need to know?

    Posted: 06 Nov 2018 08:36 AM PST

    Going on interview #2 for an MRO sales position and I am going into this somewhat blind so I thought I would ask random strangers some questions!

    First is pay;

    60k salary with another 60 bump if I meet the metrics and its uncaped.. the bump is 100% guaranteed for the first 9 months then tapers off over a few months.

    Comming out of 100% commisioned sales this seems ok but I want to make sure I am not making a mistake.

    Do MRO people have protected areas or should I expect to share? The gatekeeper I was speaking to was vauge on some of the more pointed questions but I think they where tasked with just feeling people out.

    What other questions would you ask? what are the pitfalls for MRO sales? upsides?

    Thank you in advance!

    How to tell a scam from a real job? (Pittsburgh, PA)

    Posted: 06 Nov 2018 07:53 AM PST

    I am currently a few years out of school and looking to make a change in my career.

    However I can't tell what is a real job vs trying to sell knives or cable in Costco.

    What would be a good entry level sales position I should be looking for? Bonus points you can give me some companies in Pittsburgh.

    I'd ideally be looking into advertising account management, but I'll take anything really. I'm not sure what to expect and of course jumping straight into commission is a bit nerve wrecking especially since I need a new car soon.

    Is my new commission structure better or worse?

    Posted: 06 Nov 2018 06:53 AM PST

    We used to have a base salary of 20k/year. Commission paid out based on monthly stack rank positions from the previous month, they were 43%(bottom half), 70%(the middle stack reps), and 80%(top quarter) (If the whole floor did bad in December, for example, you'd be in the top 25% with a mediocre revenue value and get 80% commission for the next month). You got commission regardless of how much you sold each month, so if you did a measly 214 from a split sale of the lowest price package, you could get anywhere from $92-$171 for it.

    They recently announced that we will be changing to a 30K base with commission tiers at 0%,28%,44%,56%, 67%, 80% based on how much RV you have in a single pay period. 0-799RV pays $0 commission, 800-1599 pays 28% commission, 1600 to 2399 pays 44%, 2400-3599 pays 56%, 3600-4000 pays 67%, over 4k in a pay period pays at 80%.

    its SaaS, with packages costing 1185, 1020, 757, 691, 625, 559, 494, 428 and split sales at 592, 510, 378, 345, 312, 279, 247, 214. The sales cycle is two weeks and the floor minimum is 1800, with half the floor not hitting it every month. I'm a highly inconsistent rep, going from having a 5k month right into a $600 month, and I've been here a year and a half. Does the new commission schedule look detrimental? Should I leave? Some of the heavy hitters that sell up to 12k on occasion but mostly stick around the 3-6k/month mark are upset about it and started looking.

    I should also mention that I live an hour and a half away from my job.

    What happens when you bring in a new client, but another rep closes the deal? Who gets what?

    Posted: 05 Nov 2018 05:47 PM PST

    Let's say a sales rep brings a client to the company, but the client wants to buy something the rep is not specialized in i.e. someone else closes the deal.

    Is the rep entitled to anything? How would this be handled?

    Is Sales for me?

    Posted: 05 Nov 2018 04:46 PM PST

    I've been doing radio sales for roughly 6 months. My billing is decent, about 5k~ on my own. Obviously lots of help overall. I just can't tell if this is a good fit. I love my coworkers but I wish I could just sit and do "office work" all day instead of sales. Not super invested in the product and could really care less at the end of the day. This is my first job out of college and I wanna make decent money, but don't know if I should dig deeper or move on. Any advice?

    Please critique my sales resume

    Posted: 05 Nov 2018 09:38 PM PST

    Hello folks, I started a sales job about 16 months ago and turned out to like it enough to stick to sales. I'm applying for jobs now but would like to improve my resume. As you can see, all my sales experience comes from my current employer.

    I crossed out some things I was thinking of taking out of my resume...I was thinking of taking out my banking experience entirely (1st job) but it's 4 years of my life...good call?

    I was also thinking of taking out the entire research interviewer position, on one hand it highlights a quick promotion, and on the other hand it adds no value to my resume.

    Keep messing up last interview

    Posted: 05 Nov 2018 03:55 PM PST

    Hi everyone,

    I've been looking to switch jobs into another SDR role. I've interviewed with around 5 companies that all have long drawn out processes. I have been able to make it to the final round, but always have some reason why I'm not hired. Some of them, I understood why I wasn't hired and felt that they were bad interviews and learning experiences.

    However others, I didn't get the job for nitpicky reasons or reasons that I have no idea about. I didn't get the job for my dream company because I talked too much about one product and he thought that I wasn't interested in selling the whole suite (exact opposite actually), the recruiter had actually told me that I would be getting an offer prior to the final interview but after that interview they told me that I did so bad that someone else didn't even get hired, I just made a bad impression. Another job had the interview end early because the decision maker was supposedly "sick". I never got the chance to interview with final person but was met with a rejection letter stating that they wanted someone with more experience although there was supposedly good feedback. I just don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I have genuine interest in these products and the companies, I don't come off as cocky, I have the qualifications.

    What do you guys typically see in your final interviews with companies? What separates people from the pack and how can I stop being rejected in the last stage? It's tiring and takes away from work too since I have to set time aside for these interviews.

    College Degree

    Posted: 05 Nov 2018 08:00 PM PST

    Howdy,

    Straight to the point, which of these majors would you say is the best for a sales career. (best opportunities/highest paying).

    University of Houston

    1. Finance
    2. Management Information Systems (MIS)
    3. Supply Chain Management

    Also, as a freshman with no experience, how would you recommend me going about getting experience while in college? Are internships viable in sales?

    Thank you very much. I've found much value in this sub.

    Anyone start doing inbound client acquisition in a wholeheartedly outbound office?

    Posted: 05 Nov 2018 07:34 PM PST

    I have a digital/internet marketing background, built a couple of good website for myself over the years to make that coveted "passive income."

    I want to bring that knowledge into my AE role instead of hammering the phone every day. Cold calling is fun and all, but like most people, a warm lead is a whole lot easier & more enjoyable to build rapport and ultimately close.

    FYI, doing recruiting which I see as sales with a human trafficking twist.
