    Really great cold email tip I just saw on LinkedIn Sales and Selling

    Really great cold email tip I just saw on LinkedIn Sales and Selling


    Really great cold email tip I just saw on LinkedIn

    Posted: 09 Jul 2021 07:29 AM PDT

    From SVP of Revenue Strategy at Salesloft:

    "Hey salespeople: In prospecting emails, try putting your own company name and one of your customer's customers names in the subject line.

    You can get that from their case studies and testimonials.

    Then segue authentically into your relevant value proposition.

    A rep just used this on me and I found it irresistible to open and read."

    Tell me your not serious about prospecting without telling me your not serious about prospecting

    Posted: 09 Jul 2021 10:09 AM PDT

    Just had a new colleague start recently. I was showing him the ropes on how we do our cold calling and research so we can call our SMB prospects. He hits me with this gem: "oh we use Discover Org here? That's trash. Sales navigator is all I need, it's got everything. Not sure why you would use anything else."

    Would love to hear the dead giveaways from your coworkers that they are not on that Always-Be-Calling program

    Sales managers: How do you handle a rep who has had the wool pulled over their eyes to go to a notoriously awful competitor?

    Posted: 08 Jul 2021 06:25 PM PDT

    Hi all, in an interesting situation. One of my top reps was hit up by a recruiter at a company (who shall remain nameless) but has had an AWFUL reputation for being a toxic work environment/horrible pay/high turnover and the rep is considering leaving because the recruiter convinced him an AE position will be his within 3 months if he hits his quotas.

    Not even the fact that he wants to leave my team, but he has a TON of potential and I honestly feel he is screwing his career over by taking the position.

    Any advice on how to approach this?

    TL:DR: how do I help a promising sales professional realize he is making an awful career choice.

    What to do?

    Posted: 09 Jul 2021 11:54 AM PDT

    I've been interviewing with different companies for a few weeks. I accepted an offer yesterday and start next month.

    Another company wants to continue with the interview process (this will be my 5th interview with them, still no offer yet) and is taking their time. Pay is the same, roughly.

    Should I continue with the interview process? Tell them I've accepted an offer?

    Mental recovery

    Posted: 09 Jul 2021 10:13 AM PDT

    So as a person who is usually optimistic when selling, how do you mentally recover when a customer yells at you when you asked a question you asked that you weren't suppose to ask and had a reason to yell "No!!!"?

    New AE And Questioning It Already

    Posted: 09 Jul 2021 07:50 AM PDT

    I started working as an AE in digital media/radio ad sales a few months ago. It's 100% commission and I am going nowhere. I had about 2 years prior experience in B2B but this is much different and I don't feel like I'm being given the tools to learn this role properly. I was very much thrown into the thick of it without much training or discussion of expectations.

    In addition to the environment, many people don't see radio as a viable advertising outlet or already have someone who does their digital media. I understand there's always a way to overcome objections but to those well seasoned reps out there, is it even worth it? For a job with no base salary whatsoever, does it make sense to throw it all on the line every day or am I just easily discouraged? I don't mind cold calling, I spend 25-30 hours a week prospecting. The effort is there but the results and environment to thrive are close to non existent.

    Any advice is welcome.

    Is this normal for a sales job?

    Posted: 08 Jul 2021 05:28 PM PDT

    Im a 21 year old waitress in nyc and served 2 guys today, who said they wanted me to come work for them. They gave me their card and told me they worked in sales, wine and spirits specifically.

    I don't know anything about wine and spirits OR sales, but they said i was personable and that they wanted me to call them if i was interested. A few things:

    1) should i be weary of how quick they tried to get me on board? the card seems legit so i don't think they're scammers but still

    2) how much do sales reps make?? i make about 850$ a week after taxes waiting tables, would it be worth it to quit my job to do sales full time ?

    Im very lost and looking for some advice

    Breaking into SaaS field as a BDR.. Feeling a bit discouraged after rejections

    Posted: 08 Jul 2021 03:27 PM PDT

    Hi guys, always find advices helpful here and I know some may have gone through what I am going through now.

    Late 20's, spent most of my time working in public sector, and nonprofit. Totally unrelated to sales but still relevant in terms of meeting targets, customer service, communications, project management, etc.

    I have been actively searching and interviewing for SDR positions and so far, I have been ghosted 3 times and at my 7th rejection. Most of them are generic emails stating I don't have sales/and or tech experience. I have been applying at mostly med sized companies and start ups because I know for sure that I won't have a shot at big companies.

    I do prepare thoroughly for my interviews, do background research on all interviewers, find as much as I can about the product, etc. Just wanted to see whether these rejections are normal for someone breaking into SaaS field. I have also been reached by someone at Launchsource and Sales Empowerment Group (recruiters?) and not sure whether I should apply through their company. Any insight would help! Thank you~

    Finding Qualified D2D Salespeople

    Posted: 08 Jul 2021 03:47 PM PDT

    Hey guys, I'm in the solar industry in SC with my own solar company and doing BD for other companies looking to increase their volume. Here's the thing, I've only been at this for a year. For other teams, I'm fine with recommending people with no solar experience, for my own team though I don't need someone that needs a babysitter. Long story short. How do you guys go about finding D2D sales candidates? Especially in an industry where everyone knows most of the backend numbers.

    Hopefully 3rd time is a charm. I need help!!

    Posted: 08 Jul 2021 02:39 PM PDT

    So I've recently fired up my linked page and have secured about 10 connects with 1st and 2nd tier leads. My prospects are homebuilders and I am in the position of generating leads for my company whom originally was a slab/stone distributor for fabricators, but now the owner has begun securing partnerships with top of the line cabinet makers, flooring, tile, appliances. So I guess you can say he has his hand in everything. And when I say everything I mean no matter if your looking for luxury or budget friendly the guy has got it. He told me to focus on "getting them to our showroom for a meeting, and from there once me and you meet with them their sold." I managed to get 2 large clients the first 3 weeks and one is already contracted for three $2mil-$3mil homes which we can typically get $250k-$300k in material and services out of each. Of the 2 meetings we've had the prospects were blown away by how much we provide including install and just as a one stop shop type of deal. I know I have a good product/service and I just want to know how to pitch it correctly! Thank you in advance for any tips reddit fam!
