| We got our first paying client within the first two weeks of starting up Posted: 25 Aug 2020 09:31 AM PDT We got our first paying client within the first two weeks of starting up. We weren't expecting this at all. We are a small team with a sales and marketing background. We recently left our jobs to pursue our dream of building a sales software and consulting company. We started by providing free actionable consulting services to B2B startup founders, sales leads, directors, and executives that showed any interest in us. Our goal was to provide as much value as possible to any business leader who reached out to us. Our main objective during our free consultations was to solve the issues, hurdles, and pain points our prospects brought to us to help them overcome the problems they were facing. The free consultation helped up gain insight on our market and see what some of the common difficulties our prospective customers were dealing with most often, and it helped us start building a reputation in the B2B startup space. After 30 free calls with many B2B startups of all shapes and sizes in many different industries, we have one paying client and two that are ready to sign up for our other services. Looking forward to what is in store for us next :) [link] [comments]  |
| Looking to get into sales, looking for advi Posted: 25 Aug 2020 09:02 AM PDT Good Morning - I'm a former bartender (for the past 15 years) in my mid 30s looking to transition into a corporate type role as my industry is effectively dead. Over the past month I've gotten on with a couple of freelance sales gigs, basically cold calling leads selling products with a email and phone script. I'm having a bit of trouble with that - I just feel like i'm being dishonest. But i'm confident I have the skill set to be successful in sales, And I like the structure of working in a freelance capacity. I'm just looking for any advice that people may have for someone just entering the field. I've already gleaned some good info from the top threads on this forum, but if anyone can give me tips on:
Or anything else you may think would be helpful for a sales Noob. Thanks so much for your time! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 25 Aug 2020 04:41 AM PDT Hey folks, I recently saw someone comment "giving crappy sales advice has become a business model now it seems" with regards to sales influencers on instagram & tiktok. People are always here asking for good sales advice but they may not be aware of what bad advice is floating around... You know the ones "cold calling is dead!", "book meetings with emails only", "use these three unusual adjectives to tap into the buying psyche and double your win rates". What's some of the worst advice you've seen lately? [link] [comments]  |
| How do you feel about keeping work stuff on your phone? Posted: 25 Aug 2020 08:00 AM PDT Disclaimer: Inside Sales, so I don't have a cellphone the company gives me. It's a softphone on a company computer. My company is pressuring us to keep work things on our personal phones. They say "It's optional", but they keep doing trainings, placing champions, and just bringing it up more. I feel like it's coming fast that they'll be requiring us to use our cell phones. It's a secure system where work is siloed to one folder on the phone, but I still don't feel comfortable about it. Here's my reasons.
Anyone else getting things like that? I'd definitely be 100% on board if they sent a company phone. I just don't feel comfortable having work on a personal device. How'd you deal with this? Just go with it, or draw a line in the sand? [link] [comments]  |
| Is it possible to use investor relations contact as method for navigating to decision maker(s)? Posted: 25 Aug 2020 09:22 AM PDT I'm curious if anyone has done this, or if it's standard practice even. I was looking through an investor presentation and it cited a major problem the company has with measuring financial data after the CARES Act was enacted. Essentially the CARES Act capital befuddled this particular company's ability to gain clarity on the health of clients' finances, and I do have a method for helping them which I'm trying to sell. I do have a contact's email and am going about it that way (also via calling), but it occurred to me that it may be possible for me to just reach out to investor relations, cite the issue mentioned in their presentation, and see if they can plug me in with a more relevant person in the organization to learn about the issue in expanded form and see if I can deliver my solution to them. So I guess aside from my anecdote, my question is threefold:

| I want to sell saunas, but don't know where to begin Posted: 25 Aug 2020 09:40 AM PDT Hi there, I'm super passionate about sauna and sauna culture. I'm located in the USA, where most people's experience with it is limited to a dry sauna in a gym which is more like sitting in a toaster than a real sauna experience. There are almost no options for sauna sales in my area and I'm not sure about how to create them. Do I just reach out to every company and see who wants to chat? How do you get into this career? I work in the health field and joke that I already sell saunas all day at work, so it's a natural fit for me to do this. Any guidance is appreciated. [link] [comments]  |
| Trying to go from software engineering to sales, how do I make my case? Posted: 25 Aug 2020 03:58 AM PDT I've been in software engineering for 10+ years, but I'm no software engineer. I'd like to get into sales and be in a position that leverages my background. Have you got any tips? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 25 Aug 2020 11:25 AM PDT I am a 25m that has been working as a firefighter for about 7 years, but I have not been able to obtain a full-time job. Recently I have become friends with a very high up sales executive at a local logistics shipping business. After a couple of months, I have become good friends with him and this past weekend he requested a copy of my resume, so he could get me a job interview at his company. I have met a couple other of his coworkers and friends and they all agree that my personality was made for sales. While I am not putting all of my eggs in one basket and completely planning on quitting my job as a firefighter, I am very interested in this job opportunity. My father has worked as salesman at a local telecommunications company for roughly 25 years and was delighted to hear the news. There is no doubt that I will have a lot of learning to do in a short amount of time, but that does not deter me from branching out to a new line of work. I have a telephone interview today, but I am looking for any possible tips from those who are are experienced in the field. [link] [comments]  |
| Anyone work for Ritchie Brothers auctions? Posted: 25 Aug 2020 10:34 AM PDT Looking for insight into this company, back when I was a mechanic I heard some terrible stories of mistreatment. I was wondering if the sales staff encountered the same? Or if it has a good corporate culture? [link] [comments]  |
| Anybody else's dealership doing This? Posted: 25 Aug 2020 08:54 AM PDT I work at a fairly smaller family owned dealer and I'm seeing big dealers around me promote $4000 over KBB on trades. So is there a catch in those or are people generally happy with the results. [link] [comments]  |
| Concerned about Sales Interview Posted: 25 Aug 2020 02:06 AM PDT Hey there. I'm sorry this is kinda long, I just needed point some background into it. I just graduated from college last week, and I have been looking for a job for basically the past year. However I have basically no job experience and the pandemic certainly doesn't help. I finally got contacted by someone who is interested to hire me. I have a phone interview with them in just a few hours from now. And even though I am very excited, the problem is: it is a job for Financial Advisor, so Sales. I am someone, that my entire life, I knew I wouldn't be good in sales! I am a very logical person. I love math and problem solving. To put it in perspective I use Excel for fun. The other issue is that I have had social anxiety for as long as I can remember. I do better talking to someone in person, especially individually or in smaller groups. However, I avoid phone calls as much as I can, and I have panic attacks if I have to make more than one a day! Even though I'm sure I wouldn't do well in this position at all, I'm afraid I may not have a choice. Since I've graduated and don't have a job, I'm back living with my parents. My parents are extremely abusive and I would love to get away as soon as possible. The job is a few hours away in a city I would love to return too. I have a great support system there, and I would thrive there. I just wish the job was better. So I don't know what to do! I want to get away as soon as possible, but I'm not sure I would do well at this job... I'm afraid. [link] [comments]  |
| How can I best support outside sales reps in my new role? Posted: 24 Aug 2020 11:33 PM PDT I am starting a new position next week as a Sales Coordinator at a fashion/apparel company. The company has outside sales reps selling our product to stores in their regions, and a large part of my job will be supporting these reps with order issues, relaying company/product/availability information, and helping solve any issues that arise in the wholesale/retail business. I have 9+ years in experience in sales and customer service, and at one point I was the Store Manager of a clothing store for a major lifestyle apparel retailer (that is a competitor of the brand I work for now). I've never done outside sales though, and since I will be working so closely with 20+ reps every day, I want to make sure I'm supporting them in the best way possible. Can anyone provide any tips on this? To all my reps out there, what do you wish your brands stepped up on? What type of communication would you prefer? I'm a woman in my late 20's who will be working with mostly male sales reps in their 30s-40s, all with plenty of sales experience under their belts. I'm not looking to "manage" them so much as support them in the best way I can. [link] [comments]  |
| Thinking of switching to sales. Bad idea? Posted: 24 Aug 2020 09:55 PM PDT I have been working at a warehouse for 9 years. I'm ready for a career change. I have been looking at sales positions for the last few years and had some interviews but never make it past the first round of interviewing. I am just wondering if going into sales now with covid going on is a bad idea. I am really desperate for a career change, but I worry about being laid off during this pandemic. Is sales a stable career? Also, what are the best industries or types of positions to start off in? I currently make 34k so not looking to take a position that pays less nor can i afford to.
