| How to quit gracefully? Do I give them a chance to counter? Posted: 04 Nov 2020 05:34 AM PST So I accepted an offer for a new company - finally moving from SMB (Payroll) to Enterprise (SaaS). I am getting ready to quit my job, however I want to do this gracefully. The way it works at my company is once you submit your 2 weeks, your phone/cpu is cut off, they pay you for the last 2 weeks, and that's it. I have a few questions:
Any advice would be well appreciated! [link] [comments]  |

| How would you get your first lead? Posted: 04 Nov 2020 04:18 AM PST My boss had me come up with a list of family and friends, neighbors, etc. who may be interested to start out. My product is pre planning cemetery needs. I've posted here once before with a question regarding this job (also my first) My problem is I'm very young and most of my friends are in their late teens out of state and in college. I'm not overly social and don't have like 50 people I can call. Maybe about five and most of them moved. Pretty much all my family lives out of state or abroad. I asked the very few people here that I know if they were interested in my product and they were all firmly against it. My family is very poor and can't spare the money to even finance it. I don't really talk to my neighbors or even know their names or addresses. He said to take my time with the list but I'm at a dead end. I've asked everyone that can be asked and they are all firmly against buying anything. I know there's other ways of prospecting but I figure he's right and this would be an easy way to start.

| How do you meet with a customer who will not respond to any of your attempts to contact them? Posted: 03 Nov 2020 10:17 PM PST A customer I want to get in touch with is in another city. I cannot travel at the moment due to the pandemic and even if I went to their city, there would be no point because they are working from home. I spoke to the business development manager at the branch of my company in that city, and asked him if he had any contacts there. He told me that he was struggling to contact them as well. He said he had contacts there who were active when the lockdown started, but now, they were not interested in meeting him or speaking to him. I still told him to put in a word about the project I am trying to pursue, and to find out who's handling the project at the customer's firm. I have no contacts there since I'm new at this job and to this industry. I tried calling their board number, but to no avail. They don't reply to emails that I send to the email ID mentioned in their Contact Us section. I know I cannot expect any responses from trying to contact them through these generic means, but I couldn't not try. I tried messaging their employees on LinkedIn as well, but I didn't get any response again. I also cannot message anyone and everyone there, since the customers in that field are very touchy. I can talk to the end client (the owner of the project), but the problem is that I have to close the loop by talking to this customer as well. I cannot rely entirely on the end client to tell the customer about me and my brand. I will be expected to make my own efforts to meet them. How can I go about this when I have no leads to contact them? Thanks so much and sorry if this was too long a post. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 04 Nov 2020 08:12 AM PST im fairly new here, and i see a lot of posts in this sub talking about making figures as stated above. do they mean turnover in sales or salary/ commision. i work in electronic component sales, im 20, in the Uk and making about £18,000 a year in salary + whatever limited comissions i can manage to pull together (only been at this since january and the big rona has really ballsed things up for me lol) in our company, really good profit over a year is about £200K. and your average commision take from that is give or take about 18%. and like that would make our manager love you more than his wife (we're a fairly small company) about 5 or so people regularly hit that mark out of the 30 or so sales staff. so really my question is: if i were to continue to persue a career in sales. where the hell can i make the most money. thats the long and short of it. what industry, what kind of sales etc etc etc i am, as most people are, desperate to earn a real good wage, and the sooner the better. of course. if anyone can point me in the right direction as to where i can truly succeed, then i'd appreciate it greatly. dont get me wrong it's a great little company to work for, and when you do well you really can do well. but i wanna be up there with the big leagues haha cheers all.

| Just interviewed for a SDR position, 500 calls a day? No thank you! Posted: 04 Nov 2020 09:17 AM PST I'm looking for a fully remote SDR role. I have over 1 year experience in SDR so I want to go back to that. But 500 calls a day? 35k base? Helllllllll to the no. I make 60k base right now and make 1 call a day in my sales role. Maybe my current job isn't bad after all. I prefer fully remote so I'll keep looking! [link] [comments]  |
| Viability of selling digital advertisement space to prospects? Posted: 04 Nov 2020 12:38 PM PST Hey everyone, I recently launched a blog/publishing type website, and we're doing reasonably well in traffic, and target a fairly focused niche. I wasn't keen on programmatic advertising because it doesn't seem like the most viable option for websites like ours. A direct strategy, although not as new-age actually seems to be the better option. My question is, how viable is selling digital advertisement inventory to prospective advertisers/clients. If anyone has experience in this, could you please share your thoughts? [link] [comments]  |
| LinkedIn Sales Navigator - Targeting Manufacturers Posted: 04 Nov 2020 08:50 AM PST I'm new to Navigator and attempting to target/filter to consumer packaged goods (CPG) manufacturers that want to or are already selling on Amazon (think an "average" type of Amazon product). I can filter with Industry = "Consumer Goods" or put in manufacturing in as a keyword yet am not finding a readily apparent to drill into the data. Thoughts? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 04 Nov 2020 07:41 AM PST I recently started a sales and design role with a company that does basement waterproofing and foundation repair, primarily residential. I love the company culture and there is a strong focus on training and personal development. This is something I really like and appreciate but I'm not accustomed to it. I came from car sales and my previous jobs had always been "Here's the copier, here's your desk, let me know if you need anything. Go sell." In my current position, I spent the first 4 weeks in a very intensive and structured training program learning about the company, the products and solutions, our sales process and our core beliefs and mission. Like I said, I really appreciate and love the culture and the focus on development and training, it's just very different from what I'm used to. We then spent a week doing ride-alongs and now I'm in my 2nd week of running sales appointments on my own. I love it so far and I'm being told by my manager and my trainer that I'm crushing it. I've made pretty good money so far for the first week and a half, so by my own barometer I think I'm doing well too. Now, my trainer wants me to tell him what my goals are. We talked over lunch and I gave some financial goals and personal goals but he wants me to specifically give a professional goal within the company and work through the SMART acronym on a little worksheet he gave me. Show how the goal is Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Timely. and talk about specifically what actions I can take, what potential obstacles I might run into, why the goal is important, who in the company I can ask for help, and on and on. I have never had this level of mentorship from a superior in any sales job so this is foreign but I like the concept. But I am having some SERIOUS writer's block here. I'm still trying to determine if I'm even going to be good/battling with my own "new guy" insecurities. I know I'm going to make more money than I did previously if I'm halfway decent at this job, but I don't realistically know how lofty to set my goals yet. I don't really have a good feel for how the team normally produces because Covid has effected numbers drastically this year and everyone looks like they've had a crappy year and are just starting to bounce back. Before finding this job my only professional goal was to stay afloat, stay employed, and keep my family fed. Covid ruined every goal I had for 2020. How would you respond if a manager wanted you to specifically nail down what your professional goals are at the company? TL;DR: Boss wants to know what my professional goals are and I'm having trouble coming up with any, mostly because I'm still pretty new in the position. [link] [comments]  |
| Cold calling process and cadence Posted: 04 Nov 2020 06:40 AM PST I've had two b2b cold calling jobs in my young sales career, I'm only 25. I would love some guidance here from some pros- My first gig I saw a lot of success with booking intros for a (physical and financial) wellness mobile app marketed as an employee benefit to companies. I booked intros with Amazon, Ancestry, LabCorp, Chevron, just to name a few. They all went nowhere. (I only booked intros and got paid $100 per intro, an account manager took over from there). The leadership and guidance was terrible. My boss was the son of the CEO and sold cars in his job before that one. He had no idea how to properly cold call or what a good candence was, or what good messaging was - insisted that I leave a voicemail every time I called. I called people once a week on the same day of the week. At my new company, a 1 billion dollar telecom wholesaler, I have some managers that say I should leave voicemails and some that say it will make them never answer your call if it isn't perfect. I started out calling every day and leaving a voicemail once a week and have recently transitioned to calling leads MWF or Tues/Thurs and still leaving a voicemail once a week. My best intro here was with a multi million dollar hospital where I left an strong voicemail and then he answered the next time I called. But it sizzled out and I was ghosted eventually. What's your cadence look like, and what works for you? I'm looking for some expert advice. [link] [comments]  |
| Thrown into a roofing sales position and I have zero sales experience, help please. Posted: 04 Nov 2020 10:09 AM PST I know nothing about sales, and have little knowledge of what I'm selling. I'm doing my best to educate myself but some things just aren't sticking. How do I become a good roof salesman? We use the best products and do the best work in our area. But I have nothing to stand on here it feels like. I barely enjoy it honestly. [link] [comments]  |
| Is it ok to have a 2 page resume? Posted: 04 Nov 2020 09:05 AM PST For context, I have ~8 years of professional work experience, ~4 years opts work and ~4 years of sales work across 5 different positions. I'm trying to change industries (out of edu sales) and decided to hire a resume writing. The first draft is great but it's two pages. I was always under the impression that your resume shouldn't be 2 page. Any thoughts on this? [link] [comments]  |
| I want to quit my job and start selling products on my onw Posted: 04 Nov 2020 07:26 AM PST I am just want to tell somebody that i am starting to sell products, similar to my previous job (my job was cashier,seller,promoting(basically oferring people new products),dealing online sales(mercado libre thing)...well a little bit of all), but as this pandemic I just sell from mercao libre, and soon find some local store to start my own business. wish me luck [link] [comments]  |

| Going from B2C sales rep to SDR for B2B sales Posted: 04 Nov 2020 06:02 AM PST I'm thinking of making the move from my current B2C sales role to another company. Our clientele has changed a lot and I'm ready to move on. However I don't know if SDR is the right step? I'm used to qualifying and closing my own leads, who are warm leads, by the way. However the SDR role offers more money immediately and in the long term with growth towards being an AE. I'm nervous about leaving where I am because I'm confident in the role and I'm not sure if going to SDR is a demotion or not [link] [comments]  |
| Business card interview task. Need advice! Posted: 04 Nov 2020 04:52 AM PST Hi all, I hope everyone is healthy during this uncertain time! Just been offered my final interview for a BDR for a large tech company, really excited about the final interview. One of the tasks is to create a business card which sells your strengths, weaknesses etc. It can be displayed as a word, PowerPoint or video etc. It will then be read out / shown to the recruiter, two managers and other potential candidates. I have no problem with laying out my strengths and weaknesses but I'm not very good at design / funky ideas! Does anyone have a creative and captive idea on how to best sell my skills? Has anyone completed an exercise like this before? Thanks in advance! [link] [comments]  |
| Built a script to replace our "request a quote" form, is this useful? Posted: 03 Nov 2020 05:17 PM PST I built a lightweight script to quickly launch catalogs with Request for Quote (RFQ) capabilities for B2B companies to accept detailed customer inquiries via an eCommerce-like experience. The goal of my project is to add a comprehensive RFQ platform to an existing website without having to design and rebuild the site from scratch (Unlike WooCommerce/Shopify/Magento etc). By doing so, I can better qualify customers at the point of inquiry and decrease the time needed to provide an estimate. Right now it enables companies to quickly host a branded catalog on the subdomain of their choice, list and search for products/services, provide detailed product pages (picture, FAQ, datasheets, product options), submit an inquiry via a checkout-like process, and customer accounts (to re-inquire and view previous inquiries). I'm working on adding customer specific pricing lists, integrations with CRMs and Accounting platforms, and expanded customer portal features. I'm considering sharing the scripts I'm making to enable this and am wondering if this could be useful for other non-tech B2B companies. Would a customer facing self-serve platform that can produce higher quality inquiries be helpful for your sales job? Edit: Removed (non-tech) [link] [comments]  |
| Would you get paid the Q4 bonus in this situation? Moving companies... Posted: 03 Nov 2020 04:15 PM PST Fiscal year ended October 31st and I hit over 100% quota with the modified plan due to covid. Q4 bonus gets paid out end of November. New company wants me to start December 1st. There is in no way any competition and I am actually leaving sales. I was going to give notice next week. Would you get paid out the q4 bonus in this situation? Should I just get paid the Q4 bonus and ghost the company? What would you do in this situation? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 03 Nov 2020 02:13 PM PST I have a mech engineering degree and I am currently a sales manager for a HVAC manufacture rep firm in Western Canada. I have 6+ years experience, primarily in commercial construction and industrial equipment sales. I am hoping to pivot into software tech because I hit a financial ceiling in my industry, and I feel like I am stuck in the Stone Age with the culture and business processes in my current field. Is it reasonable to try and do tech sales outside of my regular working hours to try and get some experience in tech? What sort of companies should I be targeting for that kind of arrangement? Anyone looking for some help? The job market is brutal where I live right now, which is why I am nervous about leaving my current stable job without testing the waters in tech and having my next reliable job lined up. Thanks in advance. [link] [comments]  |
| Government contracts, yay or nay? Posted: 03 Nov 2020 07:13 PM PST Imagine someone could push 60000 pre-qualified contracts, each worth more than $125k and fully guaranteed by the US federal government, straight to your inbox each month. Would go after these contracts? Why or why not? How could someone make bidding easier for you? [link] [comments]  |
| How to deal with sales anxiety on the phone? Posted: 03 Nov 2020 08:24 PM PST I recently started my job as a telemarketer (my second day was today) and I got really nervous and my anxiety started acting up after the first callers were rude and told me to f off. I understand sales calls are annoying but it still hurts my feeling especially since I'm on my period at the moment. Currently dread going to work tommorow and want to throw up over the nervousness. can anyone help me feel a little better ? [link] [comments]  |
