| Just landed a max payout deal in my new job I’ve been at for 2 months Posted: 17 Apr 2019 02:18 AM PDT Short back story. Just moved from FL to IA about 4 months ago. Started at my first B2B gig 2 months ago. It's been a change getting back to being just a sales rep (8 yrs. as a sales manager) but it's been great. Ended up landing an account that hits our max commission payout. Feels great!!!! 3rd sale since I've been here and the first that really brought back that "thrill of the kill". Just wanted to share how great I'm feeling. [link] [comments]  |
| Effective emails when someone ghosted you? Posted: 17 Apr 2019 09:37 AM PDT I am looking to send an effective email to a prospect who pulled a "no call, no show" and ghosted me. I have reached out several times via phone and she has not responded. Any tips? I have heard of colleagues sending emails like "did you slip and fall?" but I am not sure if I want to sound unprofessional... [link] [comments]  |
| How do I sell ice cream more efficiently? Posted: 17 Apr 2019 06:21 AM PDT I work at a known ice cream chain in my area, most of my work is selling people ice cream. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 17 Apr 2019 08:29 AM PDT One of my motto's within learning anything is always that you don't know what you don't know. I'm more than confident I can do what my boss wants, but any quick advice or guidance (which would normally be given at 95% of the corporations you guys work at, seeing as how most companies have more than one person in sales) would be appreciated, especially huge caveats or beginner mistakes specific to lack of where to acquire knowledge normally passed on by mentors/higher-ups. I'm not expecting to be spoon-fed or anything, just doing my own due diligence in-case there's anything huge I'm missing. Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| Tool that combines text messaging and email in one interface? Posted: 17 Apr 2019 11:07 AM PDT Basically I have contacts with emails and text messages. I've noticed some people prefer text messages and some prefer emails. I'd like a tool that can combine both, where I can read and reply to both emails and and text messages for any given person. Has anyone else had this issue? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 17 Apr 2019 10:37 AM PDT Also, what aspects of different SDR/ BDR positions should one seek out to get the best out of this experience? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 17 Apr 2019 10:09 AM PDT Doing very well now and killing quota month over month. Got an offer that would bump my base $20k, and the comp plan is better, if you were to hit same numbers. However, this new offer is from a company that this is a new vertical for them. They are doing great elsewhere and wanting to expand. They have hired the right people so far from the industry to run the show, but a lot of this is unproven. Not sure if they will be able to compete as well in this new market, so having a hard time making this decision. [link] [comments]  |
| Salary Negotiation - Midwest to East Posted: 17 Apr 2019 09:44 AM PDT Hello everyone! I have been a lurker on this sub for quite a few months now and have gained some valuable knowledge on what it takes to sell and the art of selling. Because of the vast number of seasoned vets I see post in here, I thought this would be a good place to get answers to one of the questions that has been on my mind recently. I currently am about one year into my current role in the midwest - my actual title is Account Executive. Before this job, I had no prior experience selling and had to relocate out here for this job for training. YTD, I have increased our revenue in my territory by 75%. Now, I need to move back to the east coast to fully develop my territory. I was provided moving expenses coming out here and was told that it was supposed to be for both my move out here and my move back. In all reality, the amount was barely enough to cover my move out here seeing as I was fresh out of college, living with my parents and then told I had to move across the country in essentially a month. My question is, is it a proper time to negotiate salary and possibly moving expenses? The east coast has a much higher cost of living than out here and I feel that my performance only one year into this this role has shown that I will be a valuable resource to my company. I am sorry for the vague details here, but i didn't want to give too much identifying information. If the recommendation is to negotiate salary and moving expenses, how should I got about that? What information should I look in to make sure I am not overshooting or undervaluing myself? Sorry for the long post, I just wanted to be thorough on this to get the best advice possible. Also, sorry for any formatting issues. I am on mobile. [link] [comments]  |
| Anyone know how competitive Colorado’s job market is? Posted: 17 Apr 2019 09:35 AM PDT I'm 21 years old with a GED and 2 years of door to door experience. Moved back home and just started as an SDR at a SaaS company. Pay is extremely low, I'll barely survive if I move back out of my parents house. I want to move to a better job market(Michigan isn't cool.) I was ideally looking at Colorado since it has plenty of tech jobs but it seems to be sort of a sleeper with less competition than places like MA or CA and a slightly lower cost of living as well. Plus I'm an outdoorsy person :) I want to stay at my company for a year, MAYBE 2 depending on living situation and how much I can save, and then bounce to Colorado. Gameplan was get a door to door job immediately and then just job hunt like crazy for a new B2B job(including being an SDR again) and then either run out of savings or have a new job, whatever happens first. I have a couple concerns. First and foremost, how big of a deal is a degree in Denver and Boulder? They're college towns so I feel like even with relevant experience I might still be dead on arrival. Or just how competitive it is in general. Secondly, I'm not sure how much money to save for a wild 21 year olds gameplan like this. Aside from a phone bill and car insurance, I'm good. Credit is shit as well, will be living in cheap ghetto apartment which helps. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 17 Apr 2019 05:32 AM PDT I've been at this company going on 2 years now. It is outside medical sales. I have been invited by my national sales manager to participate in a hand-selected group of sales people to contribute to a round table discussion. I imagine they are looking for best-practices, ideas, outside of the box type discussions. I would hate to show up and contribute nothing at all. I am trying to rack my brain to come up with topics to prepare. Can anyone offer and suggestion or insight? Or would you think it is more of a "show up and wing it" type of deal? Anything is appreciated. Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| How do I transition into a different industry from manufacturing sales? Posted: 17 Apr 2019 08:46 AM PDT Currently, I work from home covering a few states working with 3D printers and selling into large manufacturers. I have been in manufacturing for a while (5 years) and have been in sales a little over 2. My day to day is setting up my own meetings, following up on RFQ's, constantly prospecting and then every other week traveling to see customers (by car). At first, I loved this lifestyle and I got a huge pay bump from being a service engineer (was at $70k, then at $95k, and projecting to $150k+ this year). This was great at first but now I am constantly teetering on miserable. The problems are below:
Now that my rant is over, here is my question: How do I transition to a new industry that pays equal or better ($150k)? I am a very technical guy and well versed in engineering, manufacturing, metallurgy and polymers. Is software the next move? Medical Device? Fintech? I am positive I could learn the product given the opportunity. I am getting scared as I am almost 30 and I do not want to pigeon hole the rest of my career. Anyone care to chime in and help a guy out? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 17 Apr 2019 08:27 AM PDT Looking for any success stories with outbound marketing software. The marketing I do is cold & lukewarm at best so Constant Contact and Mail Chimp won't allow me to use their service. I used to use Click Dimensions with some good success but it was expensive - $8,000/year. I have a new service I am using but am not totally satisfied with it, I get a lot of blocked emails that never get through. [link] [comments]  |
| Any book suggestions specifically for Business Consultants (SE)? Posted: 17 Apr 2019 07:56 AM PDT Started a business consulting role for a SaaS company (ERP) and was looking for a good book that discusses proper discovery techniques. Any suggestions? Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 17 Apr 2019 03:53 AM PDT Details: So I am an engineer with 4 years of experience in Germany and looking for a new job. Most of the technical jobs that I am being offered are between 65 and 70k euros. I applied for an FAE position and after the first interview, it is looking good. The HR mentioned that they used fixed/variable ratio of 60%/40%. I asked for 70k in my initial letter. When I told the HR that 60-40 sounds a bit steep she was cool and said it does at the beginning but it's normal. She also mentioned that I could revise the 70k demand based on this info. They are also going to pay for my German language classes and she mentioned that the 1st year will be a "fixed salary" without bonus calculations. Based on the above info:
Sorry for rambling on but I have to discuss the detailed offer in a few days and I don't know any sales people personally to discuss this. I would love any and all feedback. [link] [comments]  |
| Does anyone know how to search specifically for businesses with multiple locations? Posted: 17 Apr 2019 03:36 AM PDT I have a colleague whose target market often is organizations with multiple locations, as he deals with a cloud product. I can't seem to find a filter on DiscoverOrg or LinkedIn Sales Navigator that lets me search for this specifically. [link] [comments]  |
| Can a recruiter or staffing agency get me an entry level job? Posted: 16 Apr 2019 10:32 PM PDT Currently bartending and serving for then last couples years and looking to make a change into a field that's more serious and rewarding. I enjoy interacting with people however I don't have a degree, or official sales experience but my customer service is great and get good reviews frequently. Looking for an entry level job in the sales field but see so many different job titles Idk where to start. Can a recruiter or staffing agency help me break things down and set me on a path?

| AE's, what do you miss about being an SDR? Posted: 17 Apr 2019 07:12 AM PDT I just got promoted from an SDR to an AE (effective June) and am wondering what will be some of the things I should enjoy/appreciate while I can [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 17 Apr 2019 05:04 AM PDT I'm one month into my first sales job at a small company (total 5 sales reps). I realized that I've been spending 80-90 percent of my time so far on non-sales activities! Some of the things that I find extremely time consuming are....
Sorry for whining. I'm just wondering if my situation is normal and how to improve? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 17 Apr 2019 04:03 AM PDT I should say that I have above average people skills. I've thought about doing the door to door thing this summer but if there are better option I want to hear it. [link] [comments]  |
| Are entry-level sales roles under-saturated? Posted: 16 Apr 2019 08:59 PM PDT I've been searching SDR/BDR roles on Linkedin and other job boards, are there are soooooo many. On top of that, there are so few applicants for each position (sometimes even 0), even for fairly large companies in tech. Is this because people do not like sales? Or the entry-level pay is not too good? Or am I misinformed? [link] [comments]  |
| Brand new first job in sales - Advice greatly appreciated Posted: 17 Apr 2019 02:56 AM PDT Hi all, I am 22 and have just accepted an AE role within a large software company. I'm delighted and shocked as I have no prior experience in sales, however my previous legal experience and training is valuable to the company as the product is legal software. I am researching around as much as I can but have seen numerous posts on the sub looking for advice and the responses have been massively helpful. If anyone has anything that can help it would be greatly appreciated. I want to absolutely smash this job and I'm determined to do so. Thanks guys! [link] [comments]  |
| Suggestions to deal with solid prospects that suddenly stop responding? Posted: 16 Apr 2019 03:02 PM PDT I design and sell managed service agreement for an IT management, cloud and security provider. I have a few perplexing opps at the moment. These are prospective clients who have expressed reasonable or significant interest in a service agreement. These aren't just people making agreeable noises on a cold call, but prospects sourced either from LinkedIn discussions or existing clients looking at additional services. These are people with whom I've had several conversations and meetings. In each case they just need to provide me with some information on their current state (how many users, how many email accounts, How much data, etc) so I can plug in some pricing to a proposal. And then....nothing. Crickets. Not answering calls, not returning emails. The dilemma is that I'm not just chasing them for nothing. In each case, it was pretty definitive that they were keen and knew what the next step was to solidify a proposal for them. So now, it's getting awkward because I can only chase them so much before it has a negative impact, but of course I can't just leave it, because there was no question about their interest, and most of them would be very good sales - good for us and good for them. I'd be very interested in any thoughts on pulling them back on course or similar scenarios anyone may have had and how they solved the problem. Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
