| Posted: 27 Aug 2019 11:16 AM PDT With November being about 8 weeks out, it's time to turn it on. We're approaching "Holiday" season. Most people mentally check out in November and December, and most buyers put off huge decisions until January. Don't assume you have 4 months of income left in the year. Assume you have 2. Turn it on. [link] [comments]  |
| Any high earners in a role with limited/no overnight travel? Posted: 27 Aug 2019 04:52 AM PDT I have been with the same company for 5+ years and have improved every year (including my W-2). However, my travel has increased each year as well and with kids, it is making it harder to keep up the overnight trips. Does anyone have experience finding an opportunity that provides good pay ($170k+ OTE) without requiring extensive travel? Would love your input! [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 27 Aug 2019 12:00 PM PDT I've decided I need to "introduce" myself to all of the advertising agencies in my area, to let them know what my website has to offer for advertising. What stats would be best to include in this type of email? [link] [comments]  |
| Advice on career choice... am I wasting my time in furniture sales? Posted: 27 Aug 2019 07:15 AM PDT I'm a 25 M that has had experience doing field sales and retail. I recently landed a job at a big furniture company that pays commission only (4% with some spiffs on mattresses). The job ad said I could earn 50k-100k but after 2 weeks of working here, even earning the minimum wage seems difficult. I know that I'm still kind of new to furniture sales and that I need to build clientele as well, but a part of me feels like I've been lied to salary-wise. There are top earners for the same company making over 100k but they've been there for at least 10 years. All the signs are there for me to try a different career path but I'm still uncertain because it's only been 2 weeks. Any advice would be appreciated! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 27 Aug 2019 10:49 AM PDT I've been offered a position selling HVAC installations door to door. Their pitch is that they will install a new high efficiency furnace or water heater with a financing plan and the customer will end up saving money in the long run on their electricity bills. They're offering $400 commission per installation, and a base salary of $2200/month if you make less than that in commissions. My current job as a technician is paying $2800/month. They promise 1 on 1 training/job shadowing with an experienced rep for the first month, then they provide a company vehicle and gas card for traveling around the city. I've read D2D HVAC sales have been banned in a couple other provinces in Canada due to companies pretending to be government employees and tricking customers. However, the interviewer assured me that this company is very above board and does not use deceitful sales tactics. Do you think this is a good career move? [link] [comments]  |
| 90% of the reps in my market are below quota Posted: 27 Aug 2019 10:40 AM PDT As the title states my market is not performing well for Telecom sales. This is my first full year out and it's discouraging to see that reps that are established are even having trouble let alone the guys like me that came in with no base of accounts. Is this normal to have such a skewed level of success in sales or is there something else going on? [link] [comments]  |
| Should you be switching every 3 years or so? Posted: 27 Aug 2019 10:30 AM PDT Besides the pros and cons of my job, in general, should you switch sales careers every few years to keep going up and making more cash? I understand that if I were an engineer, IT guy, etc, it's a great advantage to change companies every few years to get a new raise. But for us salespeople, that means definitely building a new pipeline, and possibly learning to navigate an entirely new industry. Currently I am at 37.5K base, and on target to make about 40K commission this year. This is our entry-level salary. I'm a little hesitant to leave because of the big changes, and leaving where I have it good, but it's my first and only sales job and I'd hate to not take a risk for a lot more money.

| Posted: 27 Aug 2019 09:18 AM PDT I'm in a tech startup, I was recently promoted to AE, and I'm the only one. With one SDR, who struggles to set demos. It's my job to set demos, do the demos and close. I've had really good weeks and really bad weeks, and I'm feeling down today. I can't seem to set a single demo, and I'm struggling with closing people on the demos I'm doing. One of the biggest challenges I'm facing is finding people to call, what areas, what types of business. I've seen a lot of success with Solar and Auto related industries, but I'm burning out on Auto. We do reputation management software for business owners. Any knowledge or advice you can give is greatly appreciated. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 27 Aug 2019 09:09 AM PDT Is it possible for a guy without a degree to get into sales here in Europe? Any of you guys here in sales without a degree? What would the best course of action for me and where would you suggest me to look for a starter sales position here in the EU? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 27 Aug 2019 08:51 AM PDT Hello all, First time poster here. So I have been at my current and first sales position for a year and a half now. I went from dragging at the bottom of the barrel to about average in my sales Commission die to extensive research from books to watching lecutrues for improving my craft in sales. A common theme that comes up is you gotta believe in and love the product you are selling, but I dont like the main products im selling. I even get the best verision of the product for free and use the cheaper and better alternative services. I current sell tv services over the phone in the southeast of the U.S. I have learned to love sales (especially the money $$$) but want to find a better product and environment to work in. My question is what are some other good sales industries to get into for the best payout for the work? [link] [comments]  |
| Need advice. I am being offered two opportunities in two different industries. Posted: 27 Aug 2019 08:37 AM PDT One is with pure commission with Heartland[credit card merchant processing company] and the other is with Edward Jones [wealth management] that offers a temporary salary plus commission. I have 14 years of sales and management experience. Most of this experience is in retial/telecomm and B2B/ as well as one year of being a co-owner of a new family business. I have a family and I want to make sure that I can sustain us with this income. I don't want to make a decision that will put us in a bad financial spot. Does anyone know about either industries? Is one more viable then the other? Ideally this family business is what I want to do but things are gonna take a few years to get it to be 100% self sustaining. I would greatly appreciate advice with this. [link] [comments]  |

| Interview for appointment setter position, zero experience Posted: 27 Aug 2019 06:59 AM PDT I have an interview tomorrow with zero experience. I'm 26 with a degree in a useless field. I don't know a thing about sales or appointment setting but they seem to pay decent ($20 hourly before commission). They say average earners in the position earn $30 an hour while top earners make $75 an hour. What should I ask them? What are some red flags to look out for? [link] [comments]  |
| IBM Summit- Senior Solutions Sales (MBA) Posted: 27 Aug 2019 05:14 AM PDT Has anyone gone through this program and can provide tips/advice for the interview process? What was your prior background before getting into the Summit program? I have recently completed my MBA and have a few years of inside sales at a chemical company. [link] [comments]  |
| Transition from Sales to Sales Manager (Help me) Posted: 26 Aug 2019 06:26 PM PDT Hey fellow salesfolks, I know my situation is not unique but I need some advice. I have been with a small software company for 12 years now and have done well. We decided to spin off a subsidiary to achieve real growth (the president and myself) a few years ago and we have been tripling every year. It's been fun as hell. We are now at the point where I need to build a team of regional sales reps across the US and I have almost zero management experience. The president has been talking with his CEO friends and the common theme he keeps hearing is that it is very rare for a great sales guy to be able to transition to a great sales manager. They talked about different sales types or personalities being the only ones that have a chance at success. I am reading books and speaking with mentors for help but of course, I am curious if any of you have made this transition (successfully or unsuccessfully). I'm a relationship building type of sales guy, not much of a hunter as the products I sell have long sales cycles. I'm very good at building relationships that last years and years. I think that is going to help me with this new role but I would like to hear from you all. Any advice that you can share would be greatly appreciated! [link] [comments]  |
| Just started an entry B2B sales job need advice Posted: 26 Aug 2019 06:18 PM PDT As the title states just landed a B2B sales job. Honestly I just stumbled into it I have no real sales experience besides my current job as a bank teller selling credit cards every so often. The perks seem good and the office I'm working at will give me training on it and understand that this is a first real sales job. I'm nervous I don't think I'm a bad people person and I think I could do well but I've never really sold anything before besides a few credit cards. Any advice, sources I can use or look up to help. The product doesn't seem to hard to move since it's office supplies I'd assume it's not a terribly hard sale. I need this job and I genuinely want to succeed I didn't ever honestly think I'd be in sales but so long as the work is challenging and demands me to think I'm fine with it. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 26 Aug 2019 09:39 PM PDT I made a mistake with a customer that almost costed a big sale. She gave me a bad review, I probably lost some good referrals and a repeat customer. I'm very new and was misinformed by my managers that customer had a free installation but it turns out there was custom work needed. Well I ended up paying installation but I pulled some strings to get her a better deal that could've got me in trouble and she knows this but didn't care one bit. (Corporate policy) After that my co worker says he had to pay 4000 because he used a Mexico ID for intellicheck because his US license was expired... made me feel better but sucks. Has anybody here messed up and had to pay something on behalf of the customer? Has a customer ever swindled you? [link] [comments]  |
