| Should I stay in sales or move into Sales Operations? Posted: 02 Nov 2019 08:32 AM PDT Hi everyone, I currently work for Oracle as a sales rep. I have been in sales for just under 2 years, starting off as an SDR at a small startup, after having been in the workforce for 3 years prior and making a career change. I took a large pay cut after 3 years of consulting to break into the tech sales world and be an SDR. After about 1 year in this role, I was recruited by Oracle to be an AE (don't get me started about how terrible it has been here and all the shady things and lies that are told by the company and management). Unfortunately I did not do enough research or ask around enough to know that Oracle is not the ideal landing spot I thought it was. I am now actively interviewing and have an offer for another closing role as well as a Sales Operations position that I am interested in. The base pay is the same for both positions, but the Sales Ops position is salaried. I want to stay in sales as I gave up a potentially stable career to jump into sales, and I'm afraid that I have not given sales a fair shot because of my time a Oracle. I am also worried that a recession is coming sooner than later and if I don't end up enjoying or doing well in sales, I will have a difficult time finding a new career during the recession. Has anyone here been through a recession in tech sales, early in their sales career? I think I could excel in a Sales Ops position given my previous roles/skills in consulting as well as my current knowledge of sales and sales processes. I'm just nervous that I haven't given sales the fair shot I wanted to, as I have been decent in sales so far in my limited time. Sorry for the wordy post. TLDR: Should I stay in sales and see if it's the right career for me or move into Sales Operations with a recession coming if I'm not sure [link] [comments]  |
| Anything cheaper than Crunchbase for business development? Posted: 02 Nov 2019 05:18 AM PDT I'm a one-man-show consulting business. From time to time, I do some business development to expand my client base. I have a nice tool for finding potential agencies to partner with, but I'm looking to do more selling to direct companies (I provide communications consultancy and writing). Crunchbase Pro looks great (particularly as I can use the company size filter to exclude the very small fish), but at $350/year it's relatively pricey for something I'm not sure is going to pay off. Is that the best on the market or are there alternatives? [link] [comments]  |
| Is there a way to be a bitch when leaving the conversation without openly being a bitch? Posted: 02 Nov 2019 10:36 AM PDT Okay, this probably isn't a good thing. But a lot of times, a customer has been totally fucking shitty to me and I'm really stressed and frustrated. Then they say something rude, I decide for myself that this sale isn't worth it, or they drag me through hell and back and hit me with "no thanks." And honestly at that point I really, really want to say "Thanks. Bitch." Or "Thanks for nothing." And then visibly leave the chat. I haven't done this but I feel such a strong urge. Is there a way to get the point across of "you've been a piece of shit and wasted my time" but in a passive way? I've tried "Thanks." But then they just say "ur welcome" and I'm like BITCH?????? Please help... this probably makes it sound like I have anger issues. But this job is stressful and frustrating. This would just make me feel a little bit better. [link] [comments]  |
| How important is for a salesperson to work for an industry - leading company? Posted: 02 Nov 2019 09:11 AM PDT Hello! First time posting, but I read the awesome advice and the motivating stories here for some time. I am currently working as a B2C Sales Consultant at one of the leading power companies in my country. One of the top in terms of awareness by the customers and market share. Due to various reasons, the industry is getting hotter and hotter lately and the best are yet to come. I am one of the top-3 salespeople at my department, for every month since my first one here (even at the month I took my summer leave). Suddenly, the company decided to outsource the department, giving pieces of it to various small, local partners. We are part of their deal, as we can make them money since day #1. We will "just" have a different boss. I won't get into details about how bs this is, that's not the point here. Anyway, I'm looking for a job. I found a B2B sales position at a smaller company of the same industry. This company is much smaller in terms of market share (6 times smaller) and awareness. Having a good brand name helps a lot (at least with households), because there was a scam as soon as the public monopoly ended a few years back that damaged the whole industry. I also checked their prices, they are more expensive (and we are not the cheapest). Of course, I can be patient and wait a little bit more. The thing is, I know nothing about my new boss, what they want etc. I am afraid I might suddenly be without a job, there is much insecurity these days here and I want to have at least a plan B. The base salary is equal at both companies (assuming my salary will be the same after the outsource). The smaller company has a better bonus system though. So... Is it worth it to work for a much smaller company, with more expensive solutions, less awareness and for whatever trouble "smaller" means? How important is for a salesperson to work for an industry - leading company? Thank you very much! [link] [comments]  |
| Getting back into the sales game Posted: 02 Nov 2019 08:15 AM PDT Ive worked my salary job for 10 yrs , its for a small mom pop. Payroll has been late and its really go no where. I'm 55 and I figure I got another good 15 yr run. So in December I'm resigning and take a few weeks off then the new year start running. I don't have a degree so its commission sales for me, so I'm thinking working for myself. I was a headhunter at the c level at one time thinking about going back to that. It's not constant hits but 3 hits a year I'm making more then I make now. Before my current position I only worked straight commission. Like the lion fed instead of having to hunt, I'm a little scared. I have 4 months of living expenses covered. The battle in my head is do I go work for someone else selling whatever b2b or just get my own thing going so I don't to have deal with no well you're an old man so we don't want you bullshit. Your thoughts, my fellow sales brother and sisters. I was also thinking about joining one of those group office things. I visited one it be 95 a month, I could work around people and I asked about me on the phone. They said that would be no problem. For cold calling if I'm around people in the beginning it will be more motivational then sitting in my home office alone. [link] [comments]  |

| Haven’t been employed in six years, want to get back into sales... Posted: 02 Nov 2019 11:38 AM PDT I'm 29 and haven't worked since I was 23 I don't even have a good reason for not working I just saved all the money I made from working between 15-24 quit my job and just stayed home and played video games all day. Well now money is running out and I need a job and I don't know how the hell im going to explain a six year gap on my resume (you'd think I would of thought about this before doing what I did but I didn't). I know I want to be in sales since that's what I did before I quit. I was a debt consolidation salesman and I was pretty good always in the top 5 in a group of 27 other sales people and I love to sell. Obviously though I'm probably very rusty being a hermit and not selling for six years but I know I'd be back in a short while. What are my options? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Nov 2019 05:35 AM PDT At my company we all do our own demos of our SaaS platform but I've talked to a few friends at both a large global mar tech company and friend at a smaller company than mine that has a niche SaaS platform and they both rely on a sales engineer. Is that they way a lot of industries are going where you have a sales engineer doing the demo? Maybe I'm naive but it feels like that makes the AEs job less valuable. I guess you ask questions on the demo and quarterback the deal but one of my favorite parts of the job is actually doing the demo and being able to get them to see how they would value from it and be pretty flexible in what we go over. Curious to hear people's thoughts or if you found you liked your job more when you went to a company that you relied on sales engineers? Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 Nov 2019 04:49 PM PDT Been using marijuana since I was 14 and I'm 33 years old now. I have recently started experimenting with this THC syrup at work, I work in commodity sales...all on the phone. Been in the industry for 10 years, averaging $300-450k a year pre-tax. Never before have I used THC while working, just didn't want to sound stupid....until now! I recently came out of a slump and my pitch is really solid because I just don't think anymore and just call, no matter what...just call. My dad almost died two months ago from a stroke and he's fine now, but I've got a new lease on sales by just not giving a f*** at all. I will call anybody, multiple times, it does not matter, let's fuckin go!!! Incorporating this new tool is super effective for me. It might sound crazy, but for some reason I can just hear every objection so much better and really I think the prospect can sense my empathy to their problem. I've also noticed that the flow of my pitch in my words is just so much smoother and I also will get more leads from fellow brokers when I'm in that state of mind cuz they can hear that I'm heating up. I know it's a fine line, but it's helped actually boost my sales by what seems to be 15 to 20% in the past two weeks, so I'm going to keep up with it. Anyone else had any success with this?

| Salespeople - what are you going to be selling in your 50's and 60's? Posted: 01 Nov 2019 07:59 PM PDT Ideally we want to retire young and live off our spoils. But for the vast majority of those of us who have made sales a career - what is your long game to remain relevant and valuable in your late career? And if you are still selling - what are you peddling? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Nov 2019 08:02 AM PDT I did some research and found out about the 70/30 plan (I've had two sales jobs and neither used such.) To me it seems, that plan would mean your X salary is 70% of your total compensation, and you make 30% of that as well if you meet your on target earnings. The email for this job was a bit more confusing though. It said: compensation is 50,000 (salary is split 70% base salary and 30% commission.) Is that the same plan? [link] [comments]  |
| How to evoke the feeling I am trying to sell Posted: 02 Nov 2019 03:10 AM PDT I work for a company that sells high quality (also fairly high priced) construction equipment attachments 100% on the phone. As a new employee I have been banging the phones trying to utilize the contacts that have been put into my name and am able to get out at least a few quotes out per day but haven't had any luck closing these sales. I think I have not been appealing to people's emotions quite enough and am hoping to get some help on how to evoke these intended emotions. Many of our competitors either sell their products at dealerships or are online e-tailers who don't actually make their own equipment but buy cheap stuff and slap a sticker on them before selling. We sell these items factory direct to consumer so the potential customer has no way of seeing the equipment in person before pulling the trigger on the purchase. The benefit we try to pitch with this is that there is no middle man so we can save them $, we know exactly the materials that go into our products and they are high quality, the customer doesn't have to go through a middle man if there equipment is down and we have parts on the shelf in case so we can get them up and running ASAP. Our most typical customer in these are small trade companies that use the equipment and some farmers and hobbyists that have some $. I have been thinking the reason I have been sucking is that I have just been trying to sell features and playing the #'s game (which hasn't been working well for me). I would like to try to appeal to people's emotions a little more (which is what our top performers do) Emotions I am trying to evoke: Peace of mind: if they buy from us and their equipment goes down for whatever reason, we have service guys available 24/7 and have parts on the shelf ready to be overnighted today them. Convenience: with our equipment we can save them time (and $) because our attachments are made specifically for the machine they are going on and with the highest quality materials, lower chances of product failure. Possibly luxury/status: our products certainly aren't the least expensive in the market place but they are made with superior materials. If their customers see that they are running our well built equipment it will give them peace of mind and potentially gain our customers more sales down the road. My sales process is 1. call our lead (they usually get emails and flyers from us so they know who we are and what we offer), let them know about current promotions, see if they have any attachment needs, email them a quote with our videos and literature.
3 follow up at end of month, let them know the promotion is about to end and their quote will expire soon to hopefully get a yes or no. I find that our companies closing ratio is WAY higher when the clients call us back between step 1 and 2, so that is my objective here. If you made it to the end, any thoughts or advice on how I can sell the aforementioned emotions would be greatly appreciated. Also feel free to give your opinions on other emotions that I might try to appeal to. [link] [comments]  |

| I am completely lost on how to sell this stuff.... Posted: 01 Nov 2019 03:40 PM PDT Hey everyone, I run a branding and design company and I'm very confident in those abilities. I have a client that I initially completed branding and visual product development for and over time they've agreed to keep me on retainer for marketing, sales and additional design work, it's definitely something that has helped as I grow my own company in its first year. Fast forward to this week - the actual launch of the company, website and initial marketing efforts. I made my initial moves but here's where I feel like I'm screwed: It's a CBD company and I'm unable to run my traditional strategy of targeted ads on all the major platforms since it's still considered "drug paraphernalia". I'm working on blogging, SEO, partnerships, wholesale strategy, etc. but how the heck can I start seeing conversions on this site? Help! *I haven't added the name or site because I want to avoid the self promotion/spam [link] [comments]  |
| Every SDR/BDR role wants years of experience Posted: 01 Nov 2019 10:57 PM PDT I'm in a high cost of a living area where there should theoretically be plenty of entry sales (LA metro area) but I've gotten the same answer from every entry level role, that I have no sales experience. I've seen threads saying this has already been covered but all I find is more threads saying it's been covered already [link] [comments]  |
