| Hit a ceiling on my commission now what? Posted: 28 Jul 2019 12:24 AM PDT The commission is uncapped but I can't get over $4000 a month I'm not sure what's going on I'm the top rep so I'm not sure if this is it? They did tell me in the interview the max I would probably make is 4K since no one has passed that, is this one of those Roger Bannister 4 minute mile run where everyone was saying it was impossible to do until he did it then waves of people were able to do it? I'm not sure if the company telling people 4K is maximum potential is very good it would of been better to just say nothing and see what a rep can do unless of course this isn't a mental block and this really is it? What do you guys think mental block or max potential? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 28 Jul 2019 10:30 AM PDT You guys fucking rock. I hate when sales professionals get looked down on, cause we are the most important assets to an organization. I use this account to lurk, but just gotta say I fucking love this sub. I'm a young guy just getting started in my sales career, but I've learned a lot from the posts here. After reading a few posts today and reflecting upon the people I work with I gotta say this: 'sales people are the fucking best people around'. And what I mean by that is this: Sales people typically have that 'no bullshit, give it to you straight personality'. Some of the hardest working and most determined people around. I've realized the competitiveness in our nature and the drive we have to get shit done scares the average man. We make the world go round with our assertiveness and vision for what needs to be. Sales is a professional career and god damnit if people like us didn't exist then shit would be moving at a snails pace. I'm worked up with energy right now so this post is a bit scattered, but just gotta say you guys fucking rock and I appreciate every single one of you that has taken the time to help a stranger on this sub out.

| What is the biggest piece of advice would you give to your 21 year old self? Posted: 28 Jul 2019 03:00 AM PDT It's always good to get insight from established men/women with life experience. [link] [comments]  |
| How do you respond when a prospect asks for the price too early in the sales process? Posted: 27 Jul 2019 07:54 PM PDT I don't like presenting price until I've had the chance to help the prospect see the full weight and all the implications of their problem and how things would be different for them if the problem was solved. So when they ask for price on a the first qualifying call, what's the best response? My sales process is usually short 15 min qualifying call followed by a full hour long sales call. High ticket sale. [link] [comments]  |
| Is Brian Tracy’s stuff still relevant? Posted: 28 Jul 2019 12:33 AM PDT I'm thinking of buying all three of his sales books and I've been watching some of his sales YouTube videos. Is his stuff still relevant in today's day and age? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 27 Jul 2019 01:40 PM PDT Is that right? I'm pretty new to sales and I've been saying that and usually get the monotone "good" "ok" "what do you want?" Or they just hang up. This was a pretty big eye opener. So if I'm reading this right from other redditors I should say something like "hey my name is A, really quick I wanted to tell you about our services and how we could help you in this way" is that right?

| 20 years old and looking to get into sales: Where do I start? Posted: 28 Jul 2019 12:05 AM PDT Like the title says, I'm 20 years old. I live in the Midwest. I was going to college up until last December, but I ended up dropping out and getting a job in a restaurant due to the fact I didn't have a clear direction in college, and I had ran out of general education courses and needed to pick a major immediately. I worked in the restaurant for minimum wage for around four months. Long story short, the managers were not pleasant individuals, had physically assaulted an employee, etc. I quit working there and have been searching for a career ever since. This brings us to now. I've been reading about sales, and it really interests me. I've always liked the thought of trying to sell something, whether it be my own product or someone else's, and the stories of people working hard and making up to six figures or more are inspiring. I've been reading books on sales daily, trying to learn everything I can, but I don't have an idea of what area of sales I should try to get hired in to actually use the knowledge I'm gaining. I see stories on here of people weaseling their way into SaaS sales or something similar through grinding and contacting as many companies as possible, but, at least from what I've read, their resumes typically have prior sales experience of some kind or at least something better than only having worked at a restaurant for four months. Door to door solar sales interest me as well, and I'm looking into that extensively. What else should I look into? I'm willing to knock doors, relocate, etc. [link] [comments]  |
| What's the most exotic/dope sales opportunity you have practiced or heard of? Posted: 28 Jul 2019 06:01 AM PDT I'm thinking if selling yachts in Monaco or selling cranes worth of millions. Something out if the box which gives you a great lifestyle and high amount of salary? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 27 Jul 2019 03:52 PM PDT So I was fortunate enough to hustle my ass off in my 20s and early 30s and invest in some stock market winners which led me to a semi-retired lifestyle. I don't have "fuck you money," but as a single 40yo I'm pretty much just chillin. With that being said, it's been a few years since I've had a semi real job, and before that, it was basically "consulting" work doing sales and marketing, but not for huge companies or anything, so my resume looks, for lack of a better term... shady. At this point I'm bored out of my mind and need to get back in the game(for my mental health and general well-being). I have random SDR experience in saas and selling creative services, and understand the sales process well, but it seems my job gap and my age aren't very impressive. The times I've had interviews in the last few years, the person interviewing me can't put it together why I'd want a job or they imagine I'll be unmotivated because of my financial status(if I tell them the truth of my story etc). In an ideal world, I'd work for a saas company or startup as an SDR/first sales guy and help build the company. I'd also be willing to work as an account manager, but I don't have that experience on my resume, so that's not very promising. Anyone ever been in my shoes? Anyone have any sage advice or thoughts? I'm open to hearing anyones opinion at this point. I'm also willing to relocate and start fresh for the right opportunity. Thanks and I appreciate this subreddit. [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 27 Jul 2019 04:32 PM PDT Basically as the title says I want to try my hand at a sales job, where should I try looking? I have no sales experience and only a HS Diploma but am interested in learning! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 27 Jul 2019 03:55 PM PDT I checked out the wiki and only saw books. I'm more of a visual learner so I struggle to keep everything in with books. Could anyone point me on the right direction to basic sales tips. I've been looking on YouTube but didnt know if this sub could tell me who I should watch [link] [comments]  |
| What are some ways to attract/find/vette a sales co-founder? Posted: 27 Jul 2019 11:31 PM PDT How do you find those people that can reliably get 1m+ contracts from businesses? (tech consulting) [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 27 Jul 2019 07:21 PM PDT Hi r/sales, thanks for the help throughout the years. I've landed a new position in a very small and niche market. As such, I can't give too much detail without doxxing myself. But I'm wondering how to approach objections in my newfound role that is sales but... not quite. We are the market leader in our industry (SaaS). In our industry, there is a lot of content piracy. We are one of the only legal platforms for content creators in this space. However, many of the people I reach out to bring on board our company's site balk at our rate terms for compensation. It is the market rate, but I get pushback from folks who have used these illegal sites and get better rates. I can explain all day how our costbreakdown makes sense for the rate and keeping everyone legal. But some are just not interested. I guess what im really asking is: how do I maximize the value proposition of a contract? I do have some small flexibility on rates/length as I'm the only one doing this in my company. So that's not the only issue with prospects. I need help generating interest. [link] [comments]  |
| New To Sales, desperate for advice Posted: 27 Jul 2019 04:49 PM PDT Hello Reddit. So I've been reading through here a bit especially because I can't seem to close a sale. I'll give some back story to how I got this position. I work for a Travel Managemebt Company (TMC). I was hired as an accountant(bookkeeper) and this was my first job out of school. However, over the course of my work, i helped the boss with contract pricing as well as the wordings in contracts. He then offered me the ability to work in sales and I figured I'd try it out. Here's the problem, i got no training at all. The "training" I got was being told to call people and get a sale. I had no idea what I was doing. However, I've tried to train myself as best as I can. I've figured out what customers to call, i created my own CRM with Excel & visual basic, and I've got a lot of potentials. Im doing about 50+ calls a day as well. Here's the problem - i can't get a sale. I can gdt a customer interested on the phone, and tell them I'll even offer them a trial of our services to prove to them how we can cut costs and save them time. However, I send an agreement (which has no requirements btw) and I get nothing. When I try to call back I get blown off. What do I do? I can get customers interested on the phone, but what is the proper next move? What am I supposed to be doing? Any advice would be amazing as I want to keep pursuing this, but I feel I'm not getting the proper training. On a final note, I'm the only sales person in the office. The sales my Boss does comes from a third party who does all the work and just asks us for pricing. Essentially he doesnt do any sales. [link] [comments]  |
| Am I the only one inspired by Billy Mays on accident. My reddit name is only the surface. Posted: 28 Jul 2019 12:30 AM PDT I lost a lot of weight recently, and took a job in home improvement sales. Upon getting the job I went shopping to buy new work clothes that fit me. Somehow I bought 4 varieties of blue polos, and khakis. With advice from my wife I decided to clean up my beard instead of shaving it. I got one week into the job and looked in the mirror and said "holy crap I am turning into Billy Mays! Where's the cocaine?" [link] [comments]  |
