Just started at my software company 4 months ago as a Linux Technical Support Engineer for one of our products. Us support guys aren't really allowed to see or be involved in the sales process. However, I am very interested in it. I have a background in retail sales and B2B sales. 3 years total sales, 8 years total IT. I have alerted the development team about a number of bugs in our software and also was involved in crafting a new feature recently. So I am getting great hands-on knowledge about the product and its use cases. I think now that I know the actual bugs and issues customers freque ..read more

I have been doing sales for over ten years. I have been at a dealership for one year. Although it’s easy, i HATE it. I work with some of the most unprofessional scumbags I have ever met in my entire life. Idk what to do. submitted by /u/Small_Tip_8132 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Positive affirmation that you can do it! I had two major deals fall through over the last couple weeks and I was starting to scramble regarding where I was gonna find my next deal. I was down bad at the beginning of this week. I went from the possibility of closing $150k+ to $0 in the blink of an eye. But I kept grinding. I kept my activity level high this week and set two major meetings today (Friday) which included two leads. Just because the first 100 calls you made this week didn’t turn into anything doesn’t mean anything regarding the next 100. The next person you call has nothing to do ..read more

So I was sent an offer for a tech sales position. I accepted it sent back to all the paperwork and now I’m going through the ID background check phase only problem is I have a felony drug offense more than seven years ago. will this hurt me in the on boarding process of getting the job? It seems like I’m already doing the on boarding paperwork. Does that mean I’ve already been given the job and they ran the background check? or is it something they’re still checking as I’m doing the on boarding? submitted by /u/Capc30 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I finished my second interview with the SVP on Monday. I killed it, and gave him no reason to not hire me, he asked when I can start, salary etc if I’m okay with moving up in the company in the future within 1 year... it’s been 5 days I haven’t heard back yet, I sent a thank you email for the interview and 1 follow up Friday. During the interview he said HR will contact you: Should I email the HR director on Monday and follow up? Every sign is this company wants to hire me but I’m just sitting and waiting on a response? submitted by /u/Private_knuckles [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I applied to a job a week ago, and after not hearing anything back I called and got the email of the manager/owner. I sent her an email today and did not hear anything back. Should I try calling or emailing again next week, or should I move on and look for a different job? submitted by /u/strongerthenbefore20 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Currently in the interview process for Amazon, the expected salary range shared by the recruiter is below my current comp as it will be in a different country where average wages are half of those in my current country. If I did get an offer it would be around 1,5-2,5k USD net less per month but I'll be switching from a relatively unknown hardware manufacturer (100 employees) to Amazon. For context, I'm in my late twenties with 4 years of experience in sales. To me the change would make sense but would love to hear other's oppinions. submitted by /u/Juttreet2 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

So I have a situation I wanna get some feedback on. I took on a role with a startup basically building out their biz dev/marketing/sales for the company. I wear a lot of hats and it’s been a long year of ups and downs. There’s been a lot of education of leadership about what needs to be done to be successful and there’s been a lot of push back in the beginning that has gotten better over time. I’ve had to really push to get things moving, but rarely has it come back on me where they think I’m doing a bad job. In fact, I just had my annual review where I got a bump in base, a new more profitab ..read more
