| Posted: 29 Dec 2018 06:15 AM PST Hi All. Let me explain so this sounds ridiculous. I was fortunate enough to land in a great industry, which could be called enterprise financial/banking software sales. A fairly common going rate is an on target income of about 300/year (probably 110 base) and that varies on company and what software you sell. That's great and all, my on target is roughly that, but the last 2 years from today have both been 410 and 400k years. Well above normal and I would not say I'm in the most "prestigious" /biggest ticket sales role from my employer. An important one but not the top primary one (they travel too much for my taste). This current year I'm trending to have a 450-500+ year. I don't say this to brag (although I am completely psyched) but I am genuinely concerned at my paychecks getting too much attention from senior management. I'm also one of the youngest in my company (generally they hire very senior salespeople) and the average income, my complete guess, is probably 260-275/year because you're not supposed to hit your quota every year. I'm trending nearly double that 3 years in a row now as a not so senior person in my company. I work for incredibly good family people who want to see you do well, but still I get a bit nervous. Next months paycheck alone is another $62k. Somebody must be noticing. Are any of you here senior sales people and have you been in this position? Do you have any advice to give to someone in my position? [link] [comments]  |
| How important is being excited while selling? Posted: 29 Dec 2018 07:13 AM PST Spoke to a salesman the other day who might be a GC clone. My stomach got hot as I sensed this man's enthusiasm but I knew it was all a facade as he's been training to act this way for years. It's same as a stripper sort of. It looks like if u can subcommunicate enthusiasm and certainty that can withstand objections the client will more or less give in unless they were never closeable from the start. [link] [comments]  |
| In college right now, need opinions on where I’m at Posted: 29 Dec 2018 11:11 AM PST So I plan on pursuing a career in sales for various reasons once I graduate. Currently finishing my bachelors in Computer Information Systems. Once I graduate, I'll have about 3 years of experience working as a retail selling associate in high end clothing stores (we sell clothes that are up to $15000). I want to pursue a software sales career or something similar. What I want to know is, will my degree and experience be enough to get me in the door? And what advice would any of you guys have for me as a young college kid trying to break into the sales field. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 29 Dec 2018 10:29 AM PST Where did you start in sales and how did you leverage that into a SaaS role? I'm currently selling copiers, I already have a year at Xerox and have now moved to a competitor. hoping I can stay here 1 maybe 2 more years than hop into SaaS for the big bucks.

| Moving from Wine to Tech Sales? Posted: 29 Dec 2018 08:37 AM PST I currently sell high end wine to restaurants and am possibly interested in making the move to selling some other product - possibly SaaS or the like. I am consistently told I am the best rep in the city but work for a company with a lot of logistical concerns and the pay isn't great. What steps should I take to look into moving into other sales roles? Wait until I become a manager (should happen in 2019)? Carpet bomb applications? Any advice is appreciated. [link] [comments]  |

| Selling at a “Show” setting (HELP!) Posted: 29 Dec 2018 10:29 AM PST Hello r/sales! I'm currently a manager at a business that is a retail ski shop in the winter and a pool installer/servicer in the summer. After a few years of not earning what I was hoping to earn I have decided to enter into RV sales with the same company. I'm certainly excited to be moving into a full time sales position with much higher earning potential. My first test is coming up within a few weeks when I'll be selling at an RV show. I'll have a few days of training before hand but I'm nervous about the idea of selling at a show. What is some advice you all could share regarding selling in this type of environment?

| Pharma Sales - Worth a Mid Career Switch? Posted: 29 Dec 2018 09:18 AM PST Currently entertaining switching industries. I've worked in outside sales for the past 10 years and while I'm making a respectable salary, I'm driven by the feeling I have something more to offer. Plus, I'm bored of running around in the same circles, talking about the same stuff, and have likely reached my professional nexus (total comp $100K.) I'm now in the final stages of the interview process with a well known pharma company (they hunted me,) and I can't tell the difference between my own expectations and the reality of being a pharma rep. Would also be taking a base pay cut of $20K per year (the entry level pharma role starts @ $65K???) which I can live with, but only in the event a career in pharma would indeed be more intellectually stimulating and/or fulfilling and also have a higher upside in regards to future earnings potential.

| About the darker side of sales Posted: 29 Dec 2018 09:03 AM PST So I've been interested in getting into sales for a while now. Never really acted on it but looked around a lot to learn basics before I find a fitting job. The first opportunity just appeared (friend of a friend), it's just not as moral as I had hoped... I don't have a script or anything yet so I don't know exactly how things are going to be, but I understand that every single person in my office are pulling 10k+ a month without any kind of degree. What we do is tell white, legal, lies (their words not mine) to swedish telephone companies that will later come bite them in the ass. The services (or whatever it is) we offer doesn't seem to help the prospects whatsoever. I'm just wondering if this is much of what sales is about: hustling people of their money. How normal is this kind of thing? I would suppose people want to keep a good company name and not to get a reputation as scammers. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 28 Dec 2018 11:47 PM PST Hello /r/Sales. I've just been accepted by a merchant services company to sell their payment processing systems to local businesses. They've promised me several things during my interview/introduction with them which makes me feel a little bit more comfortable working with them than I otherwise would be (charge-back liability, in particular, was something I was worried about having to deal with, so I was quite happy to hear them tell me that I would hold none). However, I realize that aside from a short stint dealing in health insurance that I'm still an entirely new sales professional. I don't think it would be particularly wise to trust myself in judging whether or not certain things are realistic or whether or not there are any red flags present, considering that if I'm wrong this has the potential to seriously affect my livelihood. So I've hand copied a chart they gave me that forecasts and breaks down compensation. I would appreciate it if somebody here would take a look at it and see if everything here makes sense. For instance, whether or not it would be realistic to be closing 8 sales in a month (I should note here that my job is specifically to close sales. If I remember correctly, I was told that I should be provided between 8-10 warm leads/week once I'm finished with onboarding (which would mean that I need to close about 1/4 of all leads sent to me), but don't quote me on that).

| People without degrees: how did you find success in sales? Posted: 28 Dec 2018 02:36 PM PST I have some experience in b2b sales but no degree. I'm curious how others have found success in sales without a degree in more recent times. Reason being, most job postings ask for a bachelor degree at minimum nowadays, even for some jobs you'd never imagine a degree would be relevant (one posting I saw was when I was in college and it was for a receptionist position..) I was good at sales when I was doing them, and I'm interested in medical and technical sales. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 29 Dec 2018 01:10 AM PST What is the difference between recruiting and sales? I've been told that recruiting is the bottom of the barrel for sales jobs, but they don't seem like the exact same thing? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 28 Dec 2018 01:17 PM PST Both companies are young and small. They are not competitors and would actually compliment each other. One company relies heavy on in person presentations, while the other sale can be made over the phone. Can I put one company in the others presentations? They are related, but I don't want to blindside anybody. And show proper respect to my employers! Any advice is greatly appreciated! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 28 Dec 2018 01:16 PM PST I have a 5th round interview with a payment software company in 3 weeks. Inside sales. I've had the same job for 5 years and have only had 3-4 interviews in my life. Needless to say I'm super rusty and inexperienced with interviews. Anyone have any advice, classes, gurus, or suggestions to prepare for it as I really want this job. Thanks! And happy holidays. [link] [comments]  |
