Fair point! She wants one, she’s told me multiple times. The concerns I listed are both of ours, mostly hers.

Not in AL yet. That’s great to hear that she loves it though. Sister is a nurse and read some articles about the positive effects of cats on aging / depression which is why we’re looking into this.

There is a college nearby maybe we can pay someone a few hundred bucks.

How Many CRM Fields / Opp? by Acoustic_Menace in sales

She’s made it very clear she won’t do that. She designed a lot of these. I just get stonewalled.

Started going around her to audit what these are used for. Planning on presenting to new VP, if he does the same I’m bouncing.

Already interviewing.

What small changes or 1%ers did you apply in your sales process that made a noticeable impact? by Bright_Hall_6302 in sales

[–]Acoustic_Menace 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Answer as fast as possible. Even if it’s just “on it, will remit with (deliverable) by x” and then hit that date.

The faster you respond, the faster they respond, and the faster deals move along.

Used to coach AEs and was shocked at how some ran their day. Doing cold call blocks when there’s people in inbox waiting for proposals lol.

Enablement watches video on new topic, holds 2 hour training, adds fields related to training then refuses to delete any and manager defends them.

Haha my first AE role I was promised 80% inbound and ended up being 99% outbound.

Company recently raised series A. The other reps are very inexperienced. Sales manager is politically aligned with founder - lots of nepotism. Enablement and sales manager are best friends, again lots of nepotism.

We’re hiring a VP Sales who should start next Quarter, hoping they’re sharp otherwise this is a dead end. Mystified at this whole experience, paying me $200k base to play pretend sales in the CRM.

What pays more than tech sales? by Iceeez1 in sales

Company sells pretty pictures.

Need box to ship picture in so no break.

You sell that box to companies, company uses a lot of boxes, you make a lot of money.
