| Anyone here have experience with Real Estate as a part time? Posted: 09 Aug 2019 09:13 AM PDT My current sales position is more account management for the most part and clients accruing commission constantly for me. This leaves me wanting to commit to real estate throughout whatever free time I have and mostly nights and weekends. What does the average commission look like on a deal with 300k average value after cuts and taxes? Was it worth it for you if you've been in my position? [link] [comments]  |
| Tasked with Cold Calling Executive to give sales pitch as part of interview, need help Posted: 09 Aug 2019 10:16 AM PDT So I had a great interview with a tech startup and met with the entire executive team. Interview went very well and I've been instructed to make a pitch and sell their product to the CRO. However, I think they are purposely not answering my calls into the office, forcing me to find other ways of contacting her, but I have no idea how else to find her contact information. I don't think she wants me to email her my pitch, and no phone numbers were listed in her signature when confirming my interview. Is there anyway to find an exec's personal number? I've reached out to my linkedin network, have done google searches, phone number look up sites. Nothing is working and I really need this job to come through. Any advice for creative ways to approach this? Also, I asked her for her number at the end of the interview, but was told I already had everything I needed and it was my job to get through. Not sure what to do. [link] [comments]  |
| Boss cut my commission on largest customer Posted: 08 Aug 2019 06:19 PM PDT I am working for a family company as a sales rep and currently have a commission draw since my base salary would not suffice for the city I live in. I signed on for 5% commission from all my sales, as listed in my contract, and recently got a 500k/year contract. It requires around 85% of my time to manage and I literally have to drive a truck to help with deliveries. The boss told me a few months ago that he wasn't sure that he could do the 5% since it's a low margin product...today I ask and he says he thinks that 1% is a fair #. I told him that's a breach of contract and he essentially told me to pound salt and said that he makes the rules. I'm pretty pissed off and this has essentially made me want to quit. Issue is I may owe back $ since this contract took up around 5 months of my year so far and I am on the commission draw for another 13 months. I have spoken to a lawyer and they say that I have grounds to win in small claims court but also said maybe just stick with it and put in 1% effort since the boss may not even come after me. What course of action should I follow? Seeing if anyone has any similar stories. TLDR: got totally railroaded on commission from a cheap boss [link] [comments]  |
| Just got my first sales position Posted: 09 Aug 2019 08:55 AM PDT Hey all, I just got my first sales position after 3 years of being a server. I'm with this company that is relatively new, but spread throughout Tennessee, Indiana, Illinois, as well as Florida and still growing. I'm currently in school for psychology with a minor in business. This company sells services through Verizon, at&t, Sprint, and direct TV in Cotsco and Sam's Club in my area. I'm new to this and am afraid I'm setting myself up to fail. I have no issue talking to people as that is all I do as a server. My worry is rather than them coming wanting food these people are not looking to sign up for a new service. The company has opportunities to get into leadership positions if you are doing really good in sales (somewhat pyramid schemish, but there is a base pay). I'm a big self development nerd, but I have not looked into any business books. Any good reads you all would suggest or any tips you can give me. I really want to excel in this position as I know I need the experience for after school. I really look forward to learning how to sell a product as well as myself. TL;DR - New to sales field with only serving experience. Looking to advance in new company as well as life. Here seeking any reading recommendations/tips. [link] [comments]  |
| I Start with ADP on Monday, any advice? Posted: 09 Aug 2019 09:22 AM PDT Like the title says I start my new job on Monday and I'm super excited. My department is with Small Business Services. I would like to see what anyone thinks about ADP or my potential for growth outside of this company? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 09 Aug 2019 09:03 AM PDT I'm currently 7 years in at a business coaching company. Was just put back into sales with a 50k salary + commissions (averaging about 10-15 sales per month, yearly gross about 110k with base) I have an offer at a debt settlement company with a 32k base with much higher income potential. I don't know much about debt settlement, but the possibility of doing much more in commission is interesting to me. If anyone can shed some light on the debt settlement industry, I'd appreciate the help. [link] [comments]  |
| is cold calling dead due to robocalls? Posted: 09 Aug 2019 10:28 AM PDT I approach small businesses and try to know if they are looking to get a website. However, my impression is that it's even harder now then it was only few years ago. It seems people are irritated to max to receive a call. I feel from my personal experience it's because of all those spam robot calls "YOUR AUTO INSURANCE HAS EXPIRRRREEED" etc - i dont have a car btw. Do you guys find success? I rather send an email, setup appointment and then call. But i cant find email, often all i have is the phone number and name. Best option would be referral. But I'm new so hard to get those. I'm thinking of direct mail marketing. [link] [comments]  |
| At a crossroads. I am in a company where I can't move up, and am having trouble finding a new job Posted: 09 Aug 2019 10:15 AM PDT Quick background, I have been at my current SaaS company for a year now as an SDR. Worked my way up from Enterprise to Named Accounts, but have hit a pretty big wall. This company promotes heavily on politicking, and if you are just friends with the right person, you are moved up. Also, I was originally a BDR on the marketing team for most of my career here. Our teams merged, and now I am essentially 'starting over' as a blank slate. Forget all the quarters I beat my quota as a BDR. Might as well have come in as a new hire. I have been trying to find smb or mid-market step-up roles, but I get stopped a lot in the process since I don't have prior experience. From a hiring manager's perspective, I totally understand why this is, and have made rebuttals to their hesitations. I was offered a role as an AE, but it would have included a 3 hour drive round trip to SF every day, and I know I would not be able to do that. Especially since I would've been covering the East Coast. I can wake up early, but I don't know if I can wake up reliably at 4am every day. The only alternative I can see, is to become an SDR at another company that has a clear path towards moving into an AE role. So an additional 6-12 months as an SDR. While that is my most likely option, I am honestly approaching burn-out with this role. The idea of another year doing this doesn't sound too appealing, and there is always the risk the same problems I am having now will come up again. So, what would you do in this situation? /wall of text [link] [comments]  |
| Anyone make the leap from corporate tech recruiting to tech sales? Posted: 09 Aug 2019 11:32 AM PDT Looking to hear from those that have made this switch or know someone who has. I feel like I deal with all the same stresses of sales (quota, managing expectations, ect) without the big pay day. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 09 Aug 2019 11:25 AM PDT Anyone use FindThatLead to find and verify emails in bulk? [link] [comments]  |
| Has anyone ever done sales at SYSCO? Posted: 09 Aug 2019 11:03 AM PDT I have an interview coming up with them and wanted to know what your experience is like and what one should expect on the job? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 09 Aug 2019 10:33 AM PDT I am a district sales manager that covers the pacific northwest. Recently my company posted an internal position of corporate account manager. My regional sales manager said he would recommend me to the powers that be. The next step would be an interview with the upper management. This opportunity is huge for me as it will increase my income significantly and boost my career. Reddit. I need advice on this interview! What little things can I do to standout? [link] [comments]  |
| Detachment and abundance mentality Posted: 08 Aug 2019 04:53 PM PDT Some of you might listen to the advanced selling podcast. You might be familiar with these two "principals". Whether you know the podcast or not, it's basically the coaching that you need to get your "inner game" right so you come across as genuine, confident, etc I'll be honest, this is a huge challenge for me. I obsess over some of my larger deals, and stress that they won't close because "x, y, z". I'm in Enterprise sales, so some of my deal sizes and commissions can be significant. How do some of you keep an abundant mentality and detach yourself from deals so you don't appear desperate? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 09 Aug 2019 05:11 AM PDT This came up as a topic of conversation I was having with a colleague and I thought would be a good discussion topic here. Most good sellers and sales managers know that building pipeline takes time - selling is largely based on timing and being present/relevant/connected when the timing is right with your potential customers. What are your strategies for your first year on the job (specifically the first 6-9 months) to get yourself some kills and stay alive while your efforts materialize into a mature pipeline? Leaning on your network, customer reference, inbound - I'm curious to hear what strategies you all have employed to get some quick wins in a new job. [link] [comments]  |
| Customer told my manager they want a new rep Posted: 08 Aug 2019 08:59 PM PDT How should I move forward with this customer? They did something like this last year as well.... went around me and told my manager I wasn't doing my job. I am the longest tenured Rep on my manager's team; I also am her best performing rep and made Presidents Club last month. Manager has my back and realizes the customer is insane with unreasonable expectations and terrible communication. My question; should I go scorched earth or super passive? I typically will see them 1-3 times:quarter. They most likely expect me to check in weekly and want to be entertained. Any suggestions are appreciated. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 08 Aug 2019 05:09 PM PDT Here's mine: Randomly sold services to the CEO of a worldwide / popular company in a retail store doing outside sales the other week. Didn't realize it til I got home & googled him bc the name sounded familiar. Company pulls in over 500m in revenue a year. Awesome knowing I could pitch to someone with that kind of experience & have them into it enough to purchase. [link] [comments]  |
| Hesitation to join insurance sales Posted: 08 Aug 2019 10:02 PM PDT Hi all, I've read a lot of similar posts of people in a similar situation but I think my case is unique in several ways. I am a college grad as of this may and like others I sent out a lot of resumes via the internet/linkedin and received strong responses from insurance companies. I spent a month after graduation near my college to continue my job search and it mostly ended up fruitless in terms of finding an actual position (i did learn a lot about interviewing and selling myself). I felt like I didn't have many connections in california (where my school was) and i ended up coming back home to asia where my parents live. While I've been back my mom connected me with a family friend's daughter who has been working at a large insurance company as an agent for 2.5 years. The daughter is extremely successful and I have spent roughly 2 weeks going into their firm to learn about what they do, how they do it and the overall learning about the industry. There are several reasons why I like this position more than ones in the US:
Yet I still do have some hesitations:
I know hesitation is the biggest personal hindrance you can have when approaching a new job/new client/new industry but I can't seem to get past this hurdle of struggle. People have told me that my US background is a huge selling point for the Asian market but frankly I see others who have been working there still complain about the difficulty of the work. I have completed my exams for the licenses and have become close to the direct team that I would work with (my recruiter included). Even though I feel like these people have been nice to me I can't help but feel objectified like I'm some sort of quota that they need to meet. Any advice for my situation would be appreciated.

| Would like to try a sales job, never done it before, any tips? Posted: 08 Aug 2019 09:24 PM PDT I'd like to try sales... maybe car sales. I have a background in IT, and sometimes that seems to scare employers because they think I'm going to run away the moment an IT job comes along, this has made it hard in general to actually find anything. I haven't done anything IT related in a couple years, I'm at a point where I just want easy money, without the stress of working in IT. Any general tips or advice? [link] [comments]  |
| Effective Email Cadence/Content? Posted: 08 Aug 2019 05:21 PM PDT Sales Reddit fam - some help please! Right now I work within telecommunications on the enterprise level. I've been struggling to decide on the progression to use in my email cadence. Right now I have a day 1 day 3 day 7 day 15 etc. structured cadence but in terms of the content I kind of just throwing stuff at the wall and see what sticks. Any recommendations? Start short and get progressively longer? or the vice versa? Progression with personalization? Also, how much should I be pitching and exactly describing value in my emails? Or should I stay more vague, high level? Thank you [link] [comments]  |
| I got an awesome offer! (Help?) Posted: 08 Aug 2019 07:27 PM PDT Today I got an amazing job offer that I really had to go the extra mile for. It's one that I knew would teach me some awesome closing skills. For context, this company's sales cycle is relatively quick. Each sale takes about ~26 days before it closes and is in the $5k-$10k average deal size. Everyone on the team is hitting their numbers. With that said, I know this is a pretty transactional sale for b2b. I'm curious if anyone has experience selling this type of deal and what resources / advice they have for me? Super stoked on the opportunity and I'm excited to learn. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 08 Aug 2019 03:32 PM PDT I send a introduction message on LinkedIn. It's a brief description of what I am doing to see if they want to engage further. When I get a reply that they are interested what do I need to do next? Should I arrange a phone call or do I jump in an arrange a demo? [link] [comments]  |

| Best Resources On Appointment Setting w/ C-Suite? Posted: 08 Aug 2019 05:26 PM PDT I'm new to enterprise selling. Run cost reduction strategies and telecommunication infrastructure solutions, so I sell to IT leaders (CIO) in conjunction with finance leaders (CFOs). I have read SPIN selling, Challenger sale. Looking more so for something to help me boost my general number of appointments set. Any general advice on the topic would be great as well, from the experienced vets at this level. Thank you.
