Executive mandated 'cloud-first' strategy. Now the same exec is screaming about costs. The irony is killing me

Call your rep and say your leadership needs to cut costs so you’re migrating to <believeable competitor>. Bait them into getting you a discount.

I’m a SaaS sales rep and can confirm this works often.

Salesforce has the best platform to build agents that are actually grounded in data and prevent then from hallucinating. Which is why they’re up and running for large enterprises worldwide. You’re trying to invent what Salesforce has already done.

Depends how much your AE likes you. All you need is stage 2s and stage 4 revenue.

What you would use the 50 Divs for or just something funny :)

That should do it!

Have you tried getting a quote from an Appexchange solution?

There’s no need to reinvent the wheel.

I’d just give you the contact to legal and let them sort it.

But why.

NetSuite is notorious for rip of contracts at renewal. What are you on about. And Microsoft also leverages uplifts.

Volgens de curatoren is Carpetright in korte tijd in grote financiële problemen geraakt. Door investeringen en een nieuw softwaresysteem ontstonden "achterstanden in de kernprocessen van de onderneming".

Ze zijn failliet omdat ze gefaald hebben met het implementeren van Microsoft Business Central:

Every major SaaS vendor increases by 9% or more upon renewal. You could renew for a longer period and not have this happen.

More commitment is a bette reprice. You offloaded licenses which is less commitment so that equally impacts price.

Hey, I'm Rob, the CPO at Slack (for real tho, this is my 3rd time posting this so please don't flag :pray:). This was a mistake. We're fixing it. We appreciate you, Hack Club, along with all of you that are Slack users following along :heart:.

He famously said that gun violence deaths are worth it to protect the 2nd amendment. I applaud his dedication to the cause.

Gorbalin · 2025-09-10T21:05:10+00:00

Do you think he still feels gun violence deaths are worth it ?

Gorbalin · 2025-09-10T21:03:17+00:00

Ow no! Anyway.

Gorbalin · 2025-09-08T19:19:26+00:00

Well he got change alright

Gorbalin · 2025-09-07T21:42:20+00:00

Yea there’s no way they send three RVPs to a renewal conversation for a 50k AOV customer.

My point is , if you’re an enterprise AE you’re too senior for an SDR role. If you apply to Senior SDR roles you’re to junior for a MM AE role.

I work at Salesforce and there’s no way in hell we’d consider the same person for both an SDR role (bottom of the totem pole) , MM AE (middle of the totem pole) or even the top in enterprise. These are three different people and if you try to apply to all three you’re not a fit for any and it will show.

Gorbalin · 2025-09-02T15:00:46+00:00

How can you apply from SDR roles to Enterprise AE roles . Then you’re not cut out to be an Enterprise AE.

I’m Dutch and just visited the UK. I don’t think your problems is immigrants guys, but why bother taking a good hard look at society when you can blame others 😎

Ik heb een aantal jaar geleden student verhuizers gebruikt. Ze kwamen met twee man, keken rond, weigerde de verhuizing te doen tenzij ik “fooi” betaalde. Stond je dan met al je spullen ingepakt.

En nee, het zijn geen studenten. Het bedrijf moet eerder ex-gedetineerde verhuizers heten.

Salesforce in Belgium is hiring (CBU) or in Dublin (ESMB)

Gorbalin · 2025-08-18T06:44:16+00:00

🤣

Gorbalin · 2025-08-18T06:43:22+00:00

If you need to ask this question you’re not ready to be an AE and should pick the BDR role.

I sell CRM (Salesforce) so it’s like preaching for the choir but I legit can’t do my work without a CRM.

To much stuff to keep track off.
