| Any Career Sales/Business/Admin roles for a Pharmacist? Posted: 03 Jul 2021 06:51 AM PDT I have B.S. in Biomedical Science and I'm in my final year of my doctorate in pharmacy and I'm learning more and more about finance, business, and administration -- and I now realize I like this more than clinical pharmacy. I have no formal experience in sales, but fortunately I do have the gift of being able to learn quickly. I am very much a people person. I have been in school my entire life and I basically have had no formal job worth putting on paper- I work about 10 hours/week as a self-employed personal training business that I do under the table (I have a massive, pretty much commercial gym in my garage). In the last 4 years I have probably made ~80k from it. I want a job where I either sink or swim - where I put in the work and have the potential to absolutely crush it or I get laxadasical and fail - where my success is in my own hands. Any roles for a pharmacist? I know big pharma may be a place to look, just not sure what entry-level position I should be looking for. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 03 Jul 2021 07:30 AM PDT I think I did really well in the interview. I was so busy with work I didn't get a chance to call back the recruiter until a couple days later. I still haven't heard back from him. I was going to call today but is that a bad idea on a weekend? I was thinking of waiting until Monday to follow up. Or should I just wait for them to call me back? [link] [comments]  |

| If you are good at sales, you'll always find a job? True? Posted: 02 Jul 2021 08:36 PM PDT If you are good at sales, you'll always find a job? I've heard that somewhere. Is that true? [link] [comments]  |
| Is there a service/subscription you just can’t sell? Posted: 02 Jul 2021 09:13 PM PDT This is a serious question. Husband and I tried doing real estate and failed miserably. We are just not sellers, we are not good at it, likely never be. So we started our own company and try to sell $10 monthly subscription to hair stylists to list their individual services (not advertise the salon, but themselves, list their skills, photos, etc), ultimate connect them with local customers looking for a specific cut or skill. The site has been done for two months. We tried social media, targeted ads and just had a professional person cold call a few salons for us. So far not one person has even signed up for our free 6 month trial, or visited the site. Is it possible that there is a resistance in the market that it's just not possible to sell, or does this take years? We are not expecting to have thousands of people, but we though we would have at least a few by now, given free subscription… [link] [comments]  |
| New to sales. How to find leads? Posted: 03 Jul 2021 12:16 AM PDT So I'm one and a half months into sales in the solar industry and now my supervisor is expecting me to go door to door and cold calls alternately 5 times a week. City is still iffy thanks to Covid with 100 - 150 new cases per day. I haven't seen anybody selling leads in my area and people don't have much money or willing to entertain strangers thanks to the pandemic. There aren't any incentives offered by the government to get solar but the price of electricity is high. The city is pretty big with a population of nearly 570k but most of the surrounding towns and cities are smaller and those that can probably afford solar would only be around 30% of the total pop at best. More likely less than 10% at this time How do I find leads (enough to do 30+ cold calls a day) given the above situation? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Jul 2021 10:51 PM PDT I recently started a new position in sales within the hospitality sector. I do know that sales is all about providing a solution to a problem a prospect has. I'm just a bit overwhelmed and unsure where to start. Do you go straight into LinkedIn, find emails and send mass personalised emails? Do you do thorough research on a prospect over a matter of weeks and then contact them? Is sales truly just a numbers game where you keep communicating with prospects and see what sticks? I do know that there is good money to be made in the sales industry, but I also know that there's a big difference between the top 0.1% of earners and the rest who never make life-changing income. Is this just sub-sector specific or is it a matter of skills and taking the time to develop that skill? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Jul 2021 06:31 PM PDT I am trying to choose whether to sell Saas or sell insurance. However, after some minimal experience (2-3 years) I want to launch my own business. It will most likely be a business associated with online software but not necessarily sure if it will be B2B. I need your advice on determining which path to choose. I am not an expert on either SaaS or insurance but this is the data I have gathered through research and a lot of lurking on this subreddit. Please feel free to educate me or point out any misconceptions that I have. Lastly, I already know how to code so I won't need a developer too early if this helps. Saas Pros

| SDR to MM AE - negotiate my base? Posted: 02 Jul 2021 03:34 PM PDT Is it bad form to negotiate the base salary when getting promoted from SDR to mid market AE? Am I supposed to be grateful for the chance to move up, keep my mouth shut and focus on putting up some results? I'd like to think I've learned a lot about negotiating, but rarely get to use it. While I'm grateful for the promotion, I know they are paying way more for external hires who are more likely to fail than an internal promotion. I think I should get around my BDR OTE as a base or some extra stocks, but don't want to overplay my hand. Do you have any advice or even a good story? [link] [comments]  |
| Paid lead generation services, worth it, or a waist of money? Posted: 02 Jul 2021 05:01 PM PDT I do D2D sales and project management for a roofing company. My D2D game is not working out. Most houses I've been hitting either have a roofer or are a hard "no". So I'm thinking about going to a lead generation service. Thoughts? [link] [comments]  |
| How to quantify spiff leader/closer on a resume? Posted: 02 Jul 2021 10:40 PM PDT I'm trying to think of the best way to describe how I am effectively the go-to spiff closer at my company. Here's some background on what's going on: I sell computer hardware but there is a computer chip shortage going on so not all of our brands can be built on time especially for the start of the school year. What I essentially do is take any leads that are interested in alternative solutions to back-ordered items to go with the stuff that is in stock. For the month of June our company had spiffs on these in stock products as an extra incentive and they do this quarterly. I was the leader in deals that were closed like this and I'm also the leader on selling another spiff product with a longer campaign. I still have multiple deals in the works too. Thoughts? Does it even matter? [link] [comments]  |
| How to start a follow up call? Posted: 02 Jul 2021 03:08 PM PDT Just got off a follow up call that felt awkward. Haven't done any in a while. I start with "Hey this is ___, from ____". Then she said hi. Then I said "How are you?". Then she was like (awkward pause) "..Uh... I'm good". And I said "Great, I'm following up on our call a few days ago to see if you had a chance to look at the proposal I sent you". Should I just skip the "How are you"? Lol. Felt like an awkward way to start the call. Felt like she thought I was trying to get to know her or something. Just trying to create a rapport so the call doesn't feel so impersonal and transactional. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Jul 2021 04:19 PM PDT Hi all, I've started my first SDR sales role in March, I've mainly been hitting the phones and prospecting for AEs due to Covid, it's been going quite well but next week I start the real deal. Door knocking, blitz days etc. I work within machinery industry similar to CAT or JCB. My main job is to generate leads but also have to start making sales for our smaller product range and used equipment. We have a great product, initial costs are quite higher than competitors but we can save long term. I'm gonna start by shadowing some AEs and then go out by myself and generate leads for their territories and try to make my first sale with smaller deals. I was wondering whether you have any tips or tricks when it comes to door knocking. Can I prepare in any way before I start? What are the common mistakes people make? Any tips in regards to gatekeepers? I'm gonna throw myself out there and do my best but I'm not gonna lie, I'm quite stressed as the next two months will decide whether I get the role permanently or not. Otherwise I may have to change career paths. Which is not something I'd like to do. I never intended to get into sales but something inside is telling me that this is the path for me (as cringey as this sounds). Either way thank you everyone, this sub and people here have helped me make my mind up. I would appreciate any general tips. [link] [comments]  |
| Risk of lawsuit for changing jobs Posted: 02 Jul 2021 07:56 PM PDT Hello all, I am looking for advice on this. I recently put my two weeks in at Fortune 500 sales company and while they need me to stay, toxic management said that if I leave and go to another company they will sue due to poaching. If I stay I'm offered X amount and a fast track promotion but if I leave they will be pursuing legal actions against the hiring company. This is the first time this has happened to me. Is it a bluff or should I retain an attorney? I have not signed any non compete and if I did the new offer is in a completely different industry (SaaS to Med Dev) using non of my current technology.

| Posted: 02 Jul 2021 03:29 PM PDT Anybody have experience with salaried and hourly sales jobs? I am being told by a few people that you actually may make more in an hourly base pay position. Obviously as long as your hours aren't limited. [link] [comments]  |
| Long Sales Cycles vs Short Sales Cycles Posted: 02 Jul 2021 05:04 PM PDT I'm taking a new role where the sales cycle is considerably shorter than what I'm used to. I've been pretty frustrated with the long sales cycle (1 yr on avg) in my current role. Where I'm going seems awesome but the only doubt I have with the role is that the sale is a shorter cycle. For some reason, I've always had this thought that the longer cycle deals was something to seek out in a role, but now I'm starting to have my doubts. I don't think this makes someone a worse sales person but would this be considered a bad career move where the sales cycle is shorter? I realize that longer sales cycles typically require more skill but I think that also comes with more stress. Anyone else been in a similar situation? If so, were you happy with your decision to move to a role where the cycle was shorter? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Jul 2021 04:55 PM PDT I just got out of the navy as a nuclear reactor operator and have experience as a real estate wholesaler (not employed, just freelancing at this point, sold 4 homes) . I'm having a hard time getting a Bdr or sdr position because maybe I don't have a degree and now I want to go get a degree so I can go to SaaS sales and fully vertically climb the ladder. What degree do you think I should go for? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Jul 2021 04:52 PM PDT Hi, I've been at my company for 2 years and have been doing pretty well, I'm just outside the top ten out of 200 and have my sales process down pat. My next move is to transition from individual contributor into a sales team manager, and I realize setting expectations, accountability, and transitioning all my tips and tricks is a whole different skill set. Are there any resources for sales professionals transitioning to Sales Team Managers? Or even better a podcast specifically for managers in respect to business development? [link] [comments]  |
