| My old coworker killed himself last night. Please quit your job if it’s killing you inside. Posted: 27 Jan 2020 05:31 AM PST It was a very difficult telemarketing sales job. Selling franchising. Our boss was a cutthroat sales guy. Very brutal but very very good at sales. His name was Larry. He was a very soft man who wasn't exactly cut out for sales, but had a passion for the industry in which we sold. He was not successful and on the brink of losing his job. Hanging on through pure luck. I quit that job. The money was great but I didn't believe in the product and it was killing me inside. Larry had a heart. And I know it ate at him as well. I quit in a whim with $2k in my bank account a couple months ago. And I figured it out and turned out okay. Definitely much happier, albeit definitely a lot poorer. Please quit your job before you quit your life. Sales is high pressure. If you can't handle it, don't try to be a superhero and push through for your family. You can't provide for them if you're dead. Take care of yourselves and be honest to your coworkers if it's not working. What fucks me up the most is remembering how joyous he spoke of taking his daughter to school every morning before coming to the office. Rest In Peace my friend. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 26 Jan 2020 03:11 PM PST Hey gang, I am in the process of looking for new opportunities and really interested in a chance at one of the big companies. Anybody here have experience in getting a gig at one of these places? What else can a prospective candidate do besides apply for jobs on their careers page? Reach out to recruiters on LinkedIN directly? BDR 2+ years experience If someone had success would be great to hear experiences! Many thanks [link] [comments]  |
| What inspires you to pick up the phone and hit it hard? Posted: 27 Jan 2020 12:38 PM PST Need some inspiration right now as lately it's been a bit of a chore to get on the phone and sell. I know i can sell, in fact it's very rare i dont hit my quarter. However the start of this year has definitely been difficult. I'm an all in, all out kind of guy, and when im not feeling it, i sometimes crawl into that mindset that gets me nowhere. What gets you sales people fire to get on the phone or to meet your clients and smash it? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 27 Jan 2020 11:41 AM PST Hi Does anyone on here have experience working from home selling high ticket items?" If So I have some questions. Just read the bolded if you're in a rush. I'm looking at sales from home opportunities and as much as I would rather sell high end and higher commission items and classes there's two things I notice aside from the average MLM scam:
How to get an idea of what their sales really are before I approach them. A lot of these development classes and what not are non-essentials to begin with and people at a certain stratosphere already (people who easily have the money) aren't going to be interested. This makes the sale unnecessarily challenging when people who are interested can't afford it want to charge back 1/3 of sales or are already tapped out in their course addiction. 4. Lot's of new companies popping up with shakey promises "you can make $100k a year". That's as bad as those minimum wage jobs disguised under "up to $22/hr". I don't want to hear about "our top executives make..." I want to hear, what is the average person still on the team already making not what CAN be made. In theory, you CAN make an infinite amount of money in anything. But ad in rules regulations quality of leads, market interest, competition, saturation, necessity, desire, affordability and time constraints and that is an unproductive lie. Do you have any tips to navigate and find the real profitable opportunities? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 27 Jan 2020 07:51 AM PST Long story short, I have been an SDR for 2 years total at different companies and I don't want to do this side of sales anymore. I get along more with the sales/solutions engineers in my company, my eyes don't glaze over when they get into the deep technical aspects of the products. I actually understand the majority of what they are saying, and I enjoy having more technical discussions in general. At my current company, I was told that there are no entry or associate roles in the SE position. All of the engineers come from an engineering background, coding, electrical, etc, or have certifications. For those that have transitioned into an SE role, what were some of the first steps you took? Are there any entry level positions that I can start with to get my feet wet? Are there companies out there that allow SE's to start from the ground up? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 27 Jan 2020 11:26 AM PST I'm excited to work in a sales representative position and AURIC seems to be moving fast in hiring. There is some other company called Auric energy but that is not the one I am speaking about. Here is the one I am applying to https://www.thinkauric.com/ . If anyone has experience from here I would absolutely love to hear about it. [link] [comments]  |
| SaaS People: Which SW do you use to demo your functions via video calls ? Posted: 27 Jan 2020 11:03 AM PST |
| How many hours do you work a week? Posted: 26 Jan 2020 10:30 PM PST I read a LinkedIn post suggesting that the best salespeople are always working. The "I'm the one making account plans at 9 PM every night, this is why I'm the best" kind of person. That led me to an interesting question. How many hours a week do successful sales people work? Bonus question: Do you agree that working more (time wise) yields better results? I'm at about 50 hours/week in Enterprise Software [link] [comments]  |
| How to get into SaaS / IaaS sales? Posted: 27 Jan 2020 11:00 AM PST Greetings! I am a website developer looking to get into sales. Website development is something I've done my entire life, and as I'm leaving college I want to do sales. Here's my background: Graduate high school, couldn't afford college so I got a full time job as a junior web developer. Worked there for almost a year, got canned. Bounced around a few IT jobs for a few months, landed an associate developer job at an agency. While I enjoy development, I have also enjoyed sales. In high school, I worked at Staples for 3 years doing technology sales and I loved it. It's the first and only job where I enjoyed what I did. I wasn't a huge fan of their sales because I made no commission though. The agency I work for has been scaring me, because I feel like I'm always on thin ice. I've been there for almost 4 months and they've fired 2 people. They're big on "sinking or swimming" and I feel like people are going to start leaving. As much as I enjoy web development, I'm starting to feel burnt out doing it. It's kind of a situation where your hobby becomes your job and it's no longer fun anymore. I want to get into SaaS / IaaS. My dream companies would be companies like Pantheon.io, Kinsta, AWS, Google Cloud, etc. Web development is what I am an expert in, and it would be awesome to sell a service or a product for that crowd. How can someone get into those sales jobs? I don't really know any sales people. I don't need to have this big support network in a territory with 150 other sales people, I just want to be able to maybe make a base salary for a while while taking commission on agencies I sell the service to. I'm working on finishing my bachelors degree, so that puts me at a disadvantage as well. Thanks [link] [comments]  |

| Have the option to do 3PL logistic act. manager or be a auto claims representative. Which one? Posted: 27 Jan 2020 09:37 AM PST the 3pl pays less at first but is commission based after 6 months... Claims at the insurance business pays about 15ish% more after you factor in year bonuses. Which would you pick? Im straight out of college. Looking to move up potentially. [link] [comments]  |
| Can introverted people be good at sales? Posted: 27 Jan 2020 09:14 AM PST Anyone out there who would consider themselves an introvert have any strategies for keeping your energy up making 55+ calls a day? [link] [comments]  |
| Keeping track of receipts for expenses Posted: 27 Jan 2020 05:15 AM PST I hope this is ok for this sub - I'm sure a lot of guys here have this problem. I hate doing expenses and often put it off for ages. Now I'm doing it and can't rememnber what is what and with who, then I've lost some receiots its a mess. I want to be able to take a photo of the receipt but for it to upload into a specific place - and I can immediately name it. Any suggestions? I don't feel I need a paid app etc just a basci workaround [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 26 Jan 2020 02:24 PM PST I've been at my first sales job (outside sales in the construction industry) for 4 years, and I have found myself getting super burned out on the company in the last 6-8 months. As this is my first sales job I don't have experience at leaving one company/industry and going to another (yet) so I'm not sure if that would help, but I k ow something needs to change. I don't really "believe" in the company or product anymore (declining quality) so I'm having difficulty selling with integrity, which is huge for me. I guess what I'm looking for is someone who has been in a similar position to tell me that leaving a company to go elsewhere was the best decision they've ever made, yada yada yada.... I'd like to excel in sales as a long-term career, but I know it's not going to be where I'm at anymore. [link] [comments]  |
| Door to door for phone repair? Posted: 26 Jan 2020 11:21 PM PST I run a small freelance phone repair business in my area, I offer device protection plans and at affordable prices with good benefits. I remember talking briefly to a fellow phone repair shop owner and he said he used to knock doors when he was starting out. I've never heard of it, but in an effort to create more customers I wanted to see what the community thought of this? [link] [comments]  |

| What do sales roles look like for video games and eSports? Posted: 26 Jan 2020 05:35 PM PST I am burnt out of my enterprise software sales role and would love to explore new opportunities I am passionate about involving video games. How does my experience translate to the eSports world? Would I be looking at a major reduction in pay? [link] [comments]  |
| Do you typically work the full year in D2D sales? Posted: 26 Jan 2020 10:30 PM PST I was wondering if most D2D sales reps work the entire year. It does get pretty cold for around 2.5-3 months in most states during the winter. Seems kind of odd to be knocking on doors in the winter and people getting angry at you for making them let cold air into the house. Sales reps doing D2D specifically in solar. pest control or any D2D how many months a year do you work and does D2D allow you to work year round? [link] [comments]  |
| Been offered a new job can you guys weigh in on it? Posted: 26 Jan 2020 06:37 PM PST Currently working somewhere as an SDR for 5 months but been offered a job with 70% increase in base and 40% increase in OTE. The job is SaaS and involves selling to call centres to improve their call tracking along those lines. At my current place the target is 10 qualified appointments a month but at this new place it's 1 demo booked for the AE every day. This is basically double what I'm doing right now is this possible? Are demos easier to book than someone going out and meeting someone? To note the place seems like it has much better leads than the place I'm at as all im given is the equivalent to whitepages and told to call any and all companies with no qualifying data which is a pain in the ass. Is the job worth it to take? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 26 Jan 2020 09:47 PM PST Hello all! I was looking to work with paychex or ADP and have felt more inclined to work with adp. I was wondering if anyone who currently works/has worked for ADP as an SBS rep could tell me around about how many hours a week you work. I am also trying to live on my own when I graduate and was trying to plan some financial things and was wondering if anyone knew was a very fair average for a first year rep can expect? I know base for my area is 40k so how much the base + commission/bonus total would be?? Thank you all for the feedback! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 26 Jan 2020 09:35 PM PST Looking at a job in basement foundation repair and part of the job description is doing a full inspection of the basement, crawl space and all. I know I can do the sales aspect of it, but the actual going into basements and crawl spaces of strangers' homes has me a little nervous. Anyone have experience in this specific field, or something similar? Have you ever felt endangered and what are the safety precautions you take to protect yourself? How did you feel about the job as a whole? Thank you! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 26 Jan 2020 03:05 PM PST Whenever you search a question about business about google you may get a bunch of results and articles based on keywords you type in. BUT YOU DON'T GET YOUR QUESTION ANSWERED! That's the problem i'm going to solve. With my search engine you will be able to search any question you what about business, then a chat bot will ask you to give specific categories you want to be answered (ex: marketing, legal, competition, gaps in the market, etc) and then the user will choose what specific categories they want answered based on their original question. Using AI the search engine will gather relevant information from the internet based on your question and the categories you want answered, and then create a detailed digital deck with all of the information to answer your question, (sort of like the search engine creating an article for you, answering your question with detail and accuracy) creating and reporting on the information the search engine acquired by creating its own copy, charts, graphs, and detailed statistics and bring it directly to the user. Please tell me what you think of my ideas and please put any suggestions ,questions , or just your thought on my idea in the comments. [link] [comments]  |
