| Sales manager pinged out BDR team asking “How are the cold calls going?”… bruh Posted: 17 Jan 2022 07:34 AM PST And you wonder why it's so hard to get people on the phones to begin with. It's a damn federal holiday for MLK. How can some people be so disconnected? Today is more admin work for me. Scheduling emails, building list, etc. You got me f*cked up if you think I'm calling people today [link] [comments] |
| So where are all of these companies? Posted: 17 Jan 2022 10:10 AM PST I always see posts and comments on here about companies hiring like mad, BDR, AE, AM, etc. I've spent hours every week on LinkedIn, Indeed, and RepVue applying for any and every job that sounds interesting and would be a good fit. In the last few weeks I have had 0 people reach out at all. I have ~4yrs experience in sales with 2.5yr as an AM, but can't seem to get through to someone for an interview? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 17 Jan 2022 11:18 AM PST I worked on a campaign numerous times, and it involved knocking on 140 houses a day. It was rough—not gonna lie—but I enjoyed being active and I lost 35 pounds. I've read online about people making quite a bit of money doing door to door solar sales, and I'm wondering if it's worth it or not. [link] [comments] |
| Best Websites to find Sales Jobs Posted: 17 Jan 2022 10:57 AM PST Hey /r/Sales - Currently looking to switch companies and I thought I'd start a thread where we would be able to post current websites were you're able to find good sales jobs.

| Jobs that can be done remotely and on laptop? Posted: 17 Jan 2022 10:32 AM PST Using my throwaway account. I had a spinal fusion a few months ago and I'm not sure I'll be able to go back to my call center inside sales job, that essentially has me chained to my desk for 8 hours a day. Are there other sales jobs that could be done laying down (haha) or at least from a recliner? I have 2 years experience call center inside sales, 10 years of retail sales, 20 years customer service. Bachelors degree. Looking to stay around the same salary range I currently make ($70k- I'm in the top 20%). Any suggestions of what type of sales job I could get? Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Engineers/STEM backgrounds looking into sales Posted: 17 Jan 2022 09:49 AM PST Hi everyone, I'm a former EE who worked as an engineer for ~5 years and made the change to sales. I've worked with a lot of folks who are interested in making the change and am personally contemplating creating content and/or a discord server for it. Very fortunate to enjoy what I do and also have increased my earnings potential substantially. From my own experience as well as working with a lot of engineers 1 on 1, some of the common things to do/mistakes to avoid would be: - Quantify the business impact of your engineering work on your resume. Don't lie, but approximations are fine here and create stories you can tell throughout your interview. Wrote a query that reduced processing time by 90%? Nice, talk about how you allowed your team to focus on other revenue generating activities with the newly found free time. - Create a concise 30-60 second story about why you want to break into sales that you can use in interviews. Why do you want to leave your comfortable salary? Why sales? Why sales at this company? - Google what a discovery call is. Understand that sales is often about asking intelligent questions and listening more than the Hollywood depiction of 'selling'. What are your major questions when looking into sales? Would you benefit from a discord server/content around this topic? [link] [comments] |
| Anyone here selling AI and/or Predictive Analytics to MM? Posted: 17 Jan 2022 08:49 AM PST If so, I'd love to talk to you. Mainly about how do you "dumb it down" to people who know nothing about it and quickly show its value, [link] [comments] |
| Generating referrals - Any books or resources for SaaS? Posted: 17 Jan 2022 10:39 AM PST Tasked with spinning up a referral program for a SaaS company I've just joined. $5mm ARR, 600 customers, and little historical success with referrals. I think we have a decent product that fits our audiences needs, so there should be better results. This isn't an area I've owned before, so hoping the group here might have some suggestions on where to start. Books, courses, articles, etc. I can close deals like a mf, yet referrals have caught me out of my element here. Help a brotha out! [link] [comments] |
| What niche is better, the one I know OR the one which brings you money ? Posted: 17 Jan 2022 08:11 AM PST What niche is better, the one I know OR the one which brings you money ? 📷 I sold art on ebay and through auction houses doing 50K per year the last 7 years on the side.. Couple years ago I started my digital agency with restaurants and real estate... get some clients for short term than I could not serve them with results anymore.. Now I want to give it a go again with the industry I know about the most.. the art world. So I did. I contacted about 890 galleries in GERMANY (cold calling & cold emailling) No interest at all. Most galleries dont even have regular opening hours.. you can schedule by calling them.. My question is: when you look at the statistics like the distribution of fine art auction revenue worldwide by country: USA and China were the most sold when it comes to paintings.-.... Should I go for the USA - Market ? Even I live in AUSTRIA ? Or should I go to a market which is bigger wheter I know about it or not ? [link] [comments] |
| Representing interests of a joint venture and email signatures? Posted: 17 Jan 2022 10:18 AM PST The company I work for has a number of JV's with non-profits and community groups. We are an engineering and construction company. We are interested in doing work in a specific part of our province/state where there is a very "keep it local" mindset (think rural, shrinking population, stubborn and proud). One of our JV's is with an organization that is part of that area of the province, and I want "play up" and lay on thick the importance of my company's relationship in the JV (not necessarily a lie, they would be doing a lot of the labour anyway). I am looking for help to how best to represent the JV? My email signature shows my company, and not the JV. Would you add the JV's details into your email signature? (Has anyone ever had side by side logos or anything like that?). Should I just get a separate email address and signature with the JV domain? Or would you just CC an email that has the JV domain? I was personally leaning towards having my company's logo | JV logo with my details below - I'm curious to know what people's thoughts are on how to best represent myself and the JV for the best results.

| Help with offer for unsolicited free gift food product by mail to gift shops Posted: 17 Jan 2022 09:27 AM PST Hey Guys. We have a product that sells well in local gift shops (zoo, attractions, and a museum). It is American made and customizable to have the logo of the attraction printed on it. Before the pandemic we had started sending the product free to gift shops and saw 1 in 8 shops make an order. But we only sent about 30 products out. What we did then was send the same generic logo on all of the samples, but now we have in house printing and can send each sample with the logo of the exact recipient on it. We want to restart sending these out again, and I wanted to hear any advice you have on how to craft our message for a better conversion rate. Here's our benefits:
I was happy with a 1/8 conversion, but it would be great to do better. We also didn't do the best job following up. My worry is our inputs have increased in price so we are asking a higher price than before, and giving a higher MSRP. But with the custom logo being free now I hope that offsets the higher price. Cost is $8.91, MSRP $19.99, shipping separately ($.70 to $1 per unit), and min order is a 36 unit case. Our last letter was black and white printed on our office laser printer. We are working with a designer on another project and he offered to build a full color page with our branding to send with the samples. We would get them professionally printed. Any advice would be great. I would like this to be an impossible to say no to offer but I just don't see how we can do that. I am confident most customers will reorder. Thank you. [link] [comments] |

| Does your Sales team utilize BDR's Posted: 17 Jan 2022 08:39 AM PST I recently was hired on to a 14-year-old company who apparently just got rid of them, has no stable plan for lead generation and a "New Leadership" that says you don't need them you need to go out and find your own leads.... ok cool, but from what I understand the pars have not changed. I never had professional hunters on my teams before to set up presentations... I am a bit jealous now that I hear about them from veterans on my team.... (by the way we are losing veterans left and right over this) How much time prospecting did it free up and do you still prospect outside of what they find? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 17 Jan 2022 08:24 AM PST I'm a shy, newbie sales person, and I've been getting a lot of sets by doing my straight to voicemail, follow up email combo. I have the most sets this month than any rep. And I also do vidyards too (videos in emails) and that's helped me a ton. Last month I did only cold calls and emails and I didn't have hardly any traction. But my company is still insistent on cold calls. Yet, many of the best sales people in our company barely ever make cold calls. One made 2 last month, and the other guy hasn't done a cold call in 7 months. Is it dead? Is it worth it?

| I guess you gotta play by the book BUT Posted: 17 Jan 2022 11:47 AM PST I know having network is a life-saver especially in crowded areas because people are mistrustful in principle and more likely to buy from people they know. I myself am doing OK. But sometimes I feel upset about people being scammed who I could have actually helped and tried to do so and ended up X having it because his cousin works there. I deeply apologize for stealing your time if this is a stupid question but; Do you have a drill for 'network' barrier? [link] [comments] |
| What to do when people call back and you don't know who it is? Posted: 17 Jan 2022 11:47 AM PST Occasionally, cold calls don't answer but call back after they're free. Last one I answered I had no clue who it was but somehow convinced him to let me pitch anyways and he was interested haha. $70B company! The other 90% of the time this happens, I either don't pick up or don't have that luck. I know many of you use Outreach or some tool where you dial through your computer and it records everything. Screw that! I work for a startup so I don't have to do that corporate accountability BS. Meet my quota and boss is happy. So how do you know who's calling back? Unfortunately my CRM doesn't let me search by phone #. [link] [comments] |
| Question about sales in logistics Posted: 17 Jan 2022 11:17 AM PST Hi everyone, I'm new here and just wanted to get feedback from people who work in logistics. Quick background, I graduated at the end of 2019 with a health sciences degree. My initial goal was to go into Medical Device or Pharmaceutical sales, but with Covid shutting everything down a few months into graduating i decided to look in other directions. I worked for awhile in solar sales, which was great until the business went to strictly door-to-door which I wasn't comfortable with. Flash forward, I moved to a new state and got back into the restaurant industry (I bartended throughout college), and work in a high end restaurant making over 90k a year, which is insane but I'm very thankful for the position. However, the drawback to restaurants I've always run into is that I don't love working only nights and while I currently make great money, you can't do much to generate an increase in finances when you're dependent on tips. So I've been looking through LinkedIn and found an opening through a recruiter to get back into sales, but this time in Logistics. It is with one of the top companies and the base salary is solid. I just also new very little about Logistics before hearing about this opening so I'd love insight and direction! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 17 Jan 2022 07:15 AM PST Hey all, I just received a job offer for an enterprise sales, account executive role from my old boss that went to a new company during the pandemic. I worked for him for a year and a half at a food-tech company and was furloughed during the pandemic in 2020. I started a new role last January as an outside sales representative with a smaller company (less than 200 employees). I have a massive territory and have to visit customers in person to bring them product I've sold them, so I spend a lot of time driving 5+ hours a day, three days a week. One day I work from home and the other day I only have to drive about 2 hours. The residual sales in my current role have been somewhat consistent and I expect to make 18k in commission this year from existing business plus a base of 75k (typical benefits). The AE role I received an offer for is at another Food-Tech company. This company is mostly remote, typical benefits, 75k base with OTE around 150k. This job would be a lot less stressful, better work life balance, and has potential for more money. The company appears to be growing and they just received funding from a series C. Potential customers are companies that provide lunch or dinner on a weekly basis for their staff. Reasons to stay in my current role - job security, consistent income to support my family, and a possible promotion this year with 10k raise in my base. Reasons to leave- less travel, no longer having to be a service rep in addition to selling, the potential to make better contacts that could be leveraged for future roles, and the higher OTE. I'm hesitant to get back into the food tech space that depends on employees being in the office since I was furloughed in a similar role a little over a year ago and the current pandemic situation. I have 3.5 years of b2b outside sales experience and have a good track record of exceeding my Quota. Should I stick it out in my current role or leave for this new opportunity? Any thoughts or advice is appreciated! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 17 Jan 2022 07:07 AM PST Hey guys, was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a solid keyboard. Looking for a full-sized keyboard with good response, and relatively quiet feedback so it can't be heard while on calls. Thanks. [link] [comments] |
| What traits to look at when hiring role that overlaps between SDR and AE? Posted: 17 Jan 2022 06:52 AM PST I will be part of interview panel to sift through bunch of Resumes to figure out who should be interviewed, and then participate in the Interview. The roles are a mix of SDR and AE as it is a startup, so the roles will be overlapping. What traits should I look at, in Resume as well as in a person. I have my own things that I look at like integrity, experience/past works, ability to articulate product value, et al but really wanted to hear from you guys and gals. If it was you at that task, what would you foundationally look at? [link] [comments] |
| Technical Account Manager to Sales Engineer Posted: 17 Jan 2022 10:10 AM PST I'm currently a TAM in the cybersecurity space looking to get a job as an SE in tech. I've interviewed at a few companies now and all of them require a fairly extensive level of development experience and multiple coding languages. I have experience on the cybersec side but I don't have that deep level of java or python like I'm seeing required at most positions. Is this the new norm? I remember before I took this position that the SE position didn't require that coding experience. [link] [comments] |
| Where would you cold sell on the internet? Posted: 17 Jan 2022 09:59 AM PST Are there any good places out there to reach out potential customers trough the internet? I find that classified sites are overrun by swarms of bots and people who are selling their services to the highest bidder. It is in the interest of these swarms to cyber attack casual sellers. Are there any legitimate places on the net which isn't overrun by corporate interest bots? [link] [comments] |
