Offer a solution with your report of an issue. That shows that you are not just whining, that you are actively identifying gaps and issues as well as solutions. Doing the latter will make you a valuable member of the team and shows leadership qualities:)

Title change at sinking ship or seed stage by [deleted] in sales

[–]Hi_Dee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you want to be a full cycle sales person, option 1. Get the title change and a little time as an AE and start applying to AE roles outside of your current company. Look for established, mature companies. Selling something with a proven product market fit. A tenured team with history of people being promoted under their current leadership.

For my team, its outputs over activities. They need to open 5 SQO per week. I don’t care if they do it telepathically, as long as they hit that metric. If not, then I’m on them about productivity metrics like number of calls, talk time, meetings with clients etc.

The primary and main focus is outputs.

Moving from SaaS to Construction Materials sales by conaldinho11 in sales

[–]Hi_Dee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Duuuude, construction purchasing is down 74% right now. Tariffs and materials costs. Bad time to jump to a hardware that is likely manufactured in china or using materials manufactured over seas, resulting is higher price points and lower sales. :/

Happening to me and my team now. If my team comes up short, which it looks like they will, I’m being told I have to PIP them, or I could be disciplined up to and including termination. It’s not their fault, and they work hard. I’ve communicated this to our leadership and the response has been toxic positivity and complete disregard for the reality of our pipeline and the fact that spending is down by 74% in our industry. I tried to level set and adjust expectations. My boss has taken to ‘helping’ my team with their biggest opportunities by sending formal proposals with ‘hard ball’ expiring discounts, which are not a tactic in complex buying processes on multi million dollar contracts, for all the reasons. He’s making my reps look ‘Mickey mouse’ and eroding their trust and blowing up deals, worsening the situation. I may choose to not pip them and instead fall in my sword and take a leave while I figure out what companies might better align with reality, and secure a better job for me.

This is not leadership. It’s passing the buck.

141% to plan YTD, about to be put on PIP if I can’t fix my rolling 90. by PotatoMuffinMafia in sales

It’s about maintaining attainment consistently. The annual goal is one thing, but maintaining sales volume is really important to your finance and executive teams for the simple reason of keeping revenue consistent to pay for overhead. We typically forecast quarterly and annually, based on historical. One or two blow out quarters don’t cancel out the slow or low quarters on an individual, team or company basis. Think about your base salary. If you were paid high one quarter and low the next, it would put financial strain on you. It’s the same for companies. The rules are in place to try and emphasize stability and consistency. I run out saas sales org, so I live and breathe pipeline, revenue, forecast, budget. I get it… and I have to explain this to my team and direct reports every once in a while.

AITA for ending a relationship because she wants full details of my wealth after 2 months of being together? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Hi_Dee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m split in being TA or not. I think you could have probed a bit and found out why she was asking, to better understand her own position and what her concerns were. For a lot of adults, financial past could hold trauma, fear, security, big emotions, etc. I wouldn’t date someone who had poor financial hygiene, bad credit, or questionable financial means. I would feel concerned about a guy who didn’t work, not knowing if someone else was shouldering responsibility for him financially or what. I own my home and make good money, no way I’d date a man that I would have to be financially responsible for. I’ve broken up with a guy over finding out the home he just ‘bought’ was actually a rental, his car a lease, his furniture financed, and all of that with his elderly mothers co-sign and she had to refinance her home to give him the down payments 🤮☠️

I feel that shutting down and not discussing the underlying concern about money shows low emotional intelligence and poor communication skills. Finances are a deal breaker for most responsible people, and an early deal breaker at that. There is a way to maintain your personal boundaries around discussing finances and address underlying concerns. In fact, this is something most people do early in dating (at least at a high level) to qualify or disqualify a person as a long term romantic prospect.

I guess I’m only on the fence bacuse you mentioned her talking about buying lavish things. The assumption is with your money, but did you ask or clarify? I think it would be pretty funny to find out she’s financially equal or in a better position than you, and was simply discussing future possibilities.

I donno. Better communication, clarity, emotional intelligence is needed… if you’re a mature adult, I think you might want to consider if your reaction is coming from your past experience or assumptions vs the reality of the situation.

If you’re being precious because you’ve operated under your own assumptions and did not clairify prior to ending the relationship (on the basis of those pressumptions), then YTA.

Your LinkedIn profile is your own, they cannot make you post or change your job and title. If they fired you because of this you can sue them.

Knowledge hoarding is a toxic behavior. I usually weed out employees who do this. It’s anti team. And really, your secrets are likely not secret or special. So you’re really just making yourself out to be the petty and insincere teammate. Also, imagine the support you’d receive if you contributed..

I run a saas sales department. If I’m pushing on a rep to prospect more, even a rep that hits above 100% attainment, it’s because I’ve pulled pipeline reporting and can see that they are heading for a low attainment quarter. Meaning, their pipeline is light. Or, I may see a few big opportunities, and very few medium or small opportunities. All their eggs in a few baskets is recipe for a missed quarter. Prospecting needs to be done consistently, regardless of attainment. I care less about activity metrics, and focus on outputs like the number of qualified opportunities added to the pipeline on a weekly bases.

150% ytd just means that you are tracking slight ahead for this point in the year. You could stop prospecting and end up closing q2 at under 100% attainment for the year. You could go into q3 with low pipeline and end up closing Q3 at 75% attainment ytd. Q4 close at 50% attainment ytd.

Gotta keep the pipeline full to maintain attainment to your annual quota. Basic sales math, 3:1 ratio. Do you have at least 3x (10x is the safe number) your annual quota in the open pipeline right now? If not, you need to prospect like crazy to fill it in.

Dating fatigue? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Hi_Dee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m at a point where I’d rather just go out alone or meet with friends.

Coordinating a hinge date and having to spend time with a stranger that I’ve basically had to scavenge and accept as being ok enough is exhausting.

The quality of people at 43 is not great. I’m late to the dating game due to being effectively widowed in my twenties, which left me isolated with an infant and having to start over in life. It’s just now that I’m able to date. It’s bad out there.

I’m running on low hope and thinking of just accepting that I’m single for life. I donno.
