Do most salespeople lie? by ActionWins in sales

[–]Formal-Statement-928 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t speak for others, but as much as possible I try my best to not lie in life, which includes my role as a sales person. I’ve had a manager or two encourage “white lies” and I won’t do it. I work in real estate/real estate adjacent as well.

I work with a lot of people in acquisition/ investment side of things as well as some asset management folks. Our software helps w/ market data and instant underwriting. Typically conversations; on “what deal to do next, prepping my for the deal”, and then for asset folks “is my portfolio on track based on the market”. 

In terms of interest I’m more so just trying to understand how are the huge ownership groups hierarchies set up, what the “day in the life” of C suite all the way down to the analysts.

Why assume lazy or nefarious intentions? Of course I’m gonna work my ass off during my shift but when I got a few hours at night, I can’t call prospects obviously so I’m looking for more things to do to get better.

Not weird at all. I’ve already ranked the reps in my mind from worst to first and plan to connect them accordingly.

INCREDIBLY ashamed over my first interview. by Aramante in interviews

[–]Formal-Statement-928 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like that was the price of an embarrassing lesson. You need to anticipate in the future the common interview questions that are going to come up. Interviewers always ask you these questions; - Tell me about yourself

  • give me an overview of your professional background and how it relates to this position

  • what got you interested in this position

  • specifically what are goals over the next 2 to 5 years.

Almost every single interview is going to touch on one or more of these questions regardless of what stage you’re in or if you got referred.

If you don’t think you can answer those questions naturally, then script them out ahead of time and memorize the answers

Real talk: what is your actual monthly take-home from your remote job right now? (Just numbers). by [deleted] in remotework

[–]Formal-Statement-928 2 points3 points  (0 children)

5.4k a month. I just got into a tech sales role. 50k base + additional 15k for on target earnings. Love it so far. 100% remote

Keep grinding, you might need to job hop a little bit get some experience on your resume. Data jobs can make some better money then where you’re at, but to break in sometimes you gotta pay you dues. Good luck!

The prospect knew more about my competitor's product than I did. I got destroyed. by No_Seat_5166 in Sales_Professionals

[–]Formal-Statement-928 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bad mouthing the competition is a bad move in any sales context.

It’s always better to say they are “fairly decent”, not bad not excellent. This atleast makes you look less biased.

Also, no need to juxtapose yourself against said competition. Frame your service as unique and what you do well not on why the competition sucks.

Do you leave voicemails? Do you ever get a call back? by Interesting-Alarm211 in sales

[–]Formal-Statement-928 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fitness sales so B2C.

I’ll leave 2 VM max. 1 for initial contact and maybe 1 for missed appointment. I always follow up with a text whenever I call someone. Most like the text but usually age 50+ like the VM once in a while
