| Boss wants us to do door knocking during a soft-lock down Posted: 31 Oct 2020 02:39 AM PDT Our boss wants our field sales staff to do door knocking on existing and new customers. Without appointments. I feel like it's a bit too much of an ask, especially during a new announced soft-lock down by the government. I don't mind doing F2F meetings with a mask if we agreed on an appointment by phone. But I feel like this might slash backwards, if we do cold visits. Not only myself feeling uncomfortable, but also the customer. Our entire time is off quota due COVID backslash. How should I handle the situation? I do B2B advertising sales. [link] [comments]  |
| I do cold email. I get 80% open rates and 20% reply rates. Here’s my process Posted: 31 Oct 2020 10:08 AM PDT If I send out 30 emails I know for a fact that I'll get at least one call. Hope you enjoy. Feel free to ask any questions here. [link] [comments]  |
| Finally figuring it the fuck out Posted: 30 Oct 2020 05:36 PM PDT Four months into my sales career (SaaS, managed IT). Things are finally clicking. Slowly figuring out tips to make shit easier. Hated sales the first two months or so (in an outbound role). Loving it now, think I might stick with this for a while. Burst my bubble if you must, but I'm starting to see why this is such a good career if it's the right situation. Ate a lot of shit the first few months and will inevitably eat more proverbial shit, but the wins make it so worth it. [link] [comments]  |
| Anyone sell App development services? Posted: 31 Oct 2020 07:31 AM PDT Hi, I recently got my first sales job for an app development company. For the people who are in this space, what is it like ? And also how can I became good at this job? Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| I want to get into software sales eventually. Which is the best path for me to take? Posted: 31 Oct 2020 10:33 AM PDT I graduated college in 2019. I worked at a human capital management company as a SDR selling SaaS for 1.3 years. I left them 3 months ago because money wasn't too good at that company. I now work for a packaging sales role where I am responsible for end to end sales and I have a lot of freedom since it's smaller company. I want to go back to software sales because I realized the potential. My old job will take me back, but it's not ideal financially. What should I do, stay at my current job and keep applying to different SDR roles till I find something good? Or go back to my old job to get more SDR experience? Thanks! [link] [comments]  |

| Need advice on whether my sales job is taking advantage of me.. Posted: 31 Oct 2020 03:52 AM PDT Hi all, I'm a sales cadet at a premium car brand and have been for 9 months. This is my first sales job. I started off in pre-owned and was there for about 2 months averaging 8 units each time. I was then moved to the commerical department (utes,van etc) without a choice. I was initally against it but the interest in that side of the brand wasn't there but I embraced it and started doing alright. Once again I was there for about 4 months. Recently I was moved once again into commerical but at another branch, once again without choice. This time instead of relying on support staff as part of the process, my boss is telling me to do everything myself.. this includes fully detailing vehicles and installing accesories, all to keep the money for the deal in the department. As a cadet, I thought my job was to be mentored and taught how to sell and deliver. I'm currently doing the opposite and when I ask for assistance on how to sell i'm told "just sell the car".. if i knew how to confidently, I would. I was also told off because I didn't want to do an unsafe job. I don't want to say anything to management because I feel they will put me off because it seems like i'm "not up to the task". Can you guys please shed some light on whether this is a normal occurance or if I've been mislead this whole time.. Thanks very much. [link] [comments]  |
| Are you a member of any of these “sales membership clubs”? Posted: 31 Oct 2020 07:37 AM PDT Are any of you members of a private sales group? I'm getting ads for these "sales collective" groups where all of us seem to hang out on? Any of you members? Do you get value from being a member? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 30 Oct 2020 10:38 PM PDT Anybody have experience working as an outside sales rep for them? I applied and talked to a guy who called casually today about the job. Earning vested equity sounds interesting. Seemed like he was really trying to sell me on making big money if you can grind. He said 85-105k is average in the first year and the best reps make around 700k. It almost felt like he was trying to sell me and I wasn't really being interviewed. It sounds great if those are legit figures. Anybody with some more solid experience? [link] [comments]  |
| Any successful startup experiences? Posted: 30 Oct 2020 10:35 PM PDT Anyone here have experience in working for software startups? ~20-50 people and you're one of the initial sales hires? What do you ask during initial interviews? What do you look for? (ie. Red flags?) Where are you now? Starting salary? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 31 Oct 2020 05:28 AM PDT I'm genuinely just curious on some ideas people have put into play to generate B2B leads for outreach. I'd love to hear what has worked with others, no easy shortcuts either. Here are a few things I've put into play that got continuous leads: - Facebook content. Engaging questions and educational posts spread throughout networking groups. This provides rapport and relevant information. Pickup the comments —> find business page —> cold call -Facebook pages. Typing in criteria such as "pet store" and finding business pages that fit the bill. I also have relevant information to open a convo Find page —> cold call -Google listings. This is pretty self explanatory. I'm getting started with LinkedIn to do the same as I do with Facebook working on figuring it out a bit. What platforms, areas, etc have you worked with or thought of for high volume approaches? No ads, no lead lists, etc just witts. [link] [comments]  |
| How many times "can" you try to sell to somebody who did not show interest? Posted: 30 Oct 2020 09:50 PM PDT Let's say I'm in B2B and my available pool of prospects is fairly small. Let's just estimate ~100-150. Out of those maybe 15 are whales, 50 are decent volume customers and the rest are small. So as you can see the customer pool in the industry is fairly small. If we go by the 80/20 rule then I would definitely be needing some whales or volume customers. I can't just get a bunch of these tiny customers to make a killing. My worry is maybe my "pitch" isn't good enough or my sales tactics need sharpening, etc. But at the same time it's like if you keep waiting to "perfect it" you'll delay it forever. I just don't want to hit up a big prospect and "blow my chance" and then every attempt after is like that spam email newsletter you don't remember subscribing to. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 31 Oct 2020 04:58 AM PDT Hello everyone, Thinking about taking an entry level insurance sales job, it is comission only but they will pay for my p&c license. It will be working with AllState, any feedback would be appreciated. What tools do you use to be successful selling insurance? Is it worth it to work for a single insurer or you guys rather going with brokers who can sell multiple companies? What should I know before getting into this industry. Again all your info will be appreciated. [link] [comments]  |
| Huge helps from the team to close a massive deal - how can I show my appreciation in gift form? Posted: 30 Oct 2020 05:23 PM PDT Hi All, My coworkers are being pushed to the limit this weekend and working overtime to help me deliver a proposal for the largest sales order the company has seen to-date. They've already done this multiple time and I can tell they're about fed up. What would you recommend as a proper gift to show my appreciation? Budget for the (2) guys is $100-$200. Also, what gift might you recommend for a dedicated, highly involved customer? I feel like gift baskets are stupid and I have absolutely no imagination for gifts... Edit: They're in another country... that doesn't make things easier... [link] [comments]  |
| Moving from engineering sales to SaaS Posted: 31 Oct 2020 01:21 AM PDT I work at a software/hardware engineering company mainly selling automation products in the UK. I have been with the company for around 5 years, 1 year in tech support and 4 years in account management and my background is in aerospace engineering. I want to move to SaaS sales as I see there's a significant salary increase, more opportunities and higher market growth. I applied to loads of jobs but couldn't get a single interview which I think might be from either not having a SaaS background or not showing massive growth snd quota hitting in my CV ( the company I'm with is declining so it's almost impossible to smash quota). I have been thinking about going back to school and doing a CS degree or alternatively get AWS certificates to help. I'm also a competent software developer (hobby). So my question is how did you manage to do this and any tips to what should I do? I'm also sick of a £40k OTE salary with an MS degree and 5 years of experience and . Thanks! [link] [comments]  |

| Sales rep doesn’t bother with a product if it doesn’t bring in a certain amount. Posted: 30 Oct 2020 05:07 PM PDT Is it common for sales reps to not bother cold calling a potential client about a product because it wouldn't bring in enough revenue? We have an annual publication that features a listing of companies in the back and, in the past, our sales dept. would cold call vendors to get folks to sign up for a listing fee. Fast forward to this year and our sales reps says he doesn't bother with leads for products "if they don't bring in X amount", which will probably guarantee the company listing won't be a revenue generator. In a year with a pandemic and lower sales, I keep thinking we should be getting what we can where we can and using this low-cost listing to target smaller clients who could be leads for something bigger. Am I crazy in my thinking? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 30 Oct 2020 04:48 PM PDT Hey all. I graduated college about 2 years back and have been in the Airline industry since (Management) . And well, we all know how that's going. I was one of many lay-offs recently. I applied to Uni-First about a week ago and they seem very interested in hiring me as a RSR. I guess I am slightly skeptical and question the jobs quality being that they are willing to take in someone with no industry experience. This would be uncommon in a salaried role with my prior company. Does anyone have any advice about the company ? Have a cousins cousin that works there ? I'd love some input. Thanks !

| New business Need help with Sales approach Posted: 30 Oct 2020 04:29 PM PDT Hey guys - So long story short im starting a lawn care business and Am already working on my SEO and will be running google ads - Facebook ads - flyers aswell. Now im a sales person at heart and have been in the sales world for some time but always B2B. My question is - for this type of service would Door to door be good ? Would cold calling homes ever work ? I am looking to hire a sales employee and see what they are capable of and see which gives me a better return. Ideally id get someone with door to door expertise. but Is this smart? in the day and age of covid im not sure how that would go. Also im located in canada and there will be snow soon ( im trying to get ppl before other companies begin there roll outs,) Any ADVICE HELPS ! [link] [comments]  |
| Company has done a reorg, my new job sucks Posted: 30 Oct 2020 08:10 PM PDT We went through a complete overhaul in our company, I was an Inside sales rep, primed to move into an AE role in a few years. With the reorg, the company no longer has inside sales and I am now a project manager (official title). With cost cutting measures, there's a hiring freeze for god knows how long. We moved from a commission salary to a steady 85k (which isn't the worst thing in the world). I am torn if I should stick it out to see if things change for the better or switch over (and start over) at saas position. I'd like to stick to a similar salary but I doubt companies like ADP would be pay that much for an inside sales. (Assuming ADP would be good company to start a SaaS sales career) Has anyone been in a similar situation and have any words of wisdom? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 30 Oct 2020 04:23 PM PDT So I just finished my first week in sales (sales manager for independent State Farm agency). I finished with closing 10 sales with possibly 5 more closing between Monday-Tuesday. Everyone at the office is impressed with how quickly I have caught on and held customers attention long enough to close the deal. My agent told me today that I am doing great and is extremely happy with my natural "ability to hold conversations." I don't say all that to brag, I say it because I feel like I underperformed this week. Like I left a lot on the table and instead of being happy for my first week I am disappointed and ready for Monday to "redeem" myself. I was so nervous on the phone and felt like I was "exposed" the whole week. I did have fun though. I enjoy the job and my office is verrryyyyy optimistic and supportive. I just have a weird feeling I can't really describe. Like, maybe it was just luck and I'm actually garbage lol idk. I say all that to ask two questions.
Thanks in advance for any advice!! [link] [comments]  |
