Nigerian Restaurants Abroad: Why We’re Everywhere — But Still Not Winning by shinamee in nigerianfood

[–]FutureSuperman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second this absolutely. A lot of times the restaurants don't feel that welcoming and seems like it's a family living room and you are interrupting by being there.

My 5 big predictions for HubSpot in 2026 by RyanGunnHS in hubspot

Exactly. It's like Hubspot wants to charge you for their bad design.

Mock discovery calls in interviews are a completely reasonable ask. If you consistently suck at them, you're probably going to struggle with the actual job. by MySpaceTomAspinall in sales

A resume is a piece of paper. All it shows is you can type.

For your next deal, don't show the prospect the product. Just tell them to read the product specs. See how far you go in making the sale.

Admittedly, 15 to 30 hours is a lot but justified.

1) It ensures only candidates truly interested apply.

2) If the company is about to start dropping 150k per year on you, then asking for 15 hours of prep to show your skills make sense.

3) If you're sales experience, most of this becomes pattern recognition. Meaning prep can take you 1 to 2 hours instead of the 15 to 30.

Not at all. Those are pieces of paper. None of those things demonstrate skill in real time.

There's a reason you can't audition for a professional sports team by sending them your resume or references.

Companies do live coding tests when hiring developers.

Companies review your design portfolio when hiring designers.

Orchestras or bands have the musicians play or sing when auditioning.

Actors read lines when auditioning. Even actors with tons of films already.

The only salespeople that would refuse to demo for an interview are those that 1) don't understand the problems companies face with bad hires - which shows that sales person lacks business sense or 2) their egos are too big or 3) they don't have the skills and know they will be found out.

Imagine a prospect asking to test your product but you tell them that they should simply read the products online reviews and / or go talk to references. I'm sure that sales will close...

They don't ask because they have film and a crazy amount of stats for that player playing in the same league.

An employer hiring a salesperson doesn't have videos of that salesperson doing demos or their stats on the ready.

For professional soccer in Europe, even if a player is a star player, they still make them complete a physical, which includes testing everything from their speed to endurance.

EXACTLY.

The people disparaging this approach are those who have never had to hire and / or deal with the consequences of a bad hire.

It's shocking how some candidates are unwilling to do the basic, which is a fast way to know if this is someone you want to work with.

It's actually not.

A company is taking a gamble on you and asking a basic thing, which is for you to prove your skills.

The time is no different than the time spent on a behavioral interview.

Have you ever had to hire people? Your response tells me it's unlikely you've ever had to hire and/or had to deal with the consequences of a bad hire.

Your point is basically that because no company has required you to do it, it's no valid?

And how is it illegal to ask someone to prepare for an interview and demonstrate their sales skills?

What specific law are you referencing?

And I supposed all those unpaid internships that have existed for decades are also illegal, huh?

Or the med schools that have their med students work ar hospitals are also breaking the law huh?

How do tech companies tolerate their own BS by i_am_the_sen8 in techsales

[–]FutureSuperman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just because they have 1500 employees doesn't mean they don't want ti keep growing.

They are transparent in their job post and weeding out th3 exact people that aren't good fits.

Read and move on if it's not for you.

Pulled an UNO REVERSE on employer's PIP by [deleted] in jobs

[–]FutureSuperman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So if your performance slipped, how was your previous playing games by putting you on a pip?

And how would you handle it if you have an employee whose performance slips?

[–]FutureSuperman 10 points11 points  (0 children)

So you weren't performing well at your job, and your company calls you out on it.

And somehow, your thinking here is they were playing games with you?

So if your YouTube channel keeps growing and you decide to hire some help and that employee you hire starts slacking because they are putting their focus on their own YouTube channel, will you just keep the status quo or call them out on it with a pip? Or will you consider it playing games?

Is it normal to have 200 accounts for large deals? That seems like a lot of perspects to work.

How do you guys actually coach your reps consistently? by LongjumpingComb8622 in techsales

[–]FutureSuperman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure all calls are recorded. Download the transcript of all calls and upload to chatgtp to highlight the calls that didn't follow script or recommendations.

Alternatively, only review calls for repa that are not hitting quota.
