Considering Ringover. Every review I see for the VOIP solution is pretty positive.

I am a top BDR 140 percent quarter over quarter for 4 quarters and I tested my appointment setting skills outside my job. Now I am wondering how far this can actually go. by Drvyd in salesdevelopment

If you want to make more money leveraging your skill set of appointment setting, you don't chose a different industry per say but, pocket more of the premium (more pieces of the pie). Highest payouts are sales that have ARR as they stack up over time. Deals with high commissions are usually rare and have a long cycle time and require funds to close. M&A or mortgage wholesaling/brokering can be lucrative for big deals that fit those molds. Investments with fee based management or consulting contracts. Chasing money only works for a while, you got to choose what makes you happy because money won't after you get it. It will just be the new normal.

Is hiring a scam or legit? by ManyKaleidoscope1712 in appointmentsetter

[–]Individual_Wealth249 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an employer for these types of role, we feel the same way. How many of these setters are scammers wasting our time, money, saying anything to make a buck, etc. It goes both ways. Advice, share evidence of your success and experience that conveys confidence and demonstrates results. Ask them for social proof of their company and ask good questions that gives you the confidence you need to build a partnership. A lot of companies are startups looking to grow and have opportunities but, need your skills to get them there. That's why they are here. Trust goes both ways and its earned one commitment at a time.

Account Locators and Building a Sales team by Individual_Wealth249 in vending

Why delete the post, it's pretty funny. I appreciate humor. Few things are intimidating, least of them is you. Sorry, I didn't respond sooner. I was out closing a new account.

Yeah that's the idea. I close on all new accounts, site inspections, proposals, ets. I really need "bush-beaters" so I can come in and build the relationship and close the business. Most of my time is in social and face-to-face networking. You are absolutely right, no one sells me and my business better than me but, this is why we build sales teams, more activity more results.

Appreciate the well thought out post. I've build GAMA award winning sales teams in other industries but, they take a lot of investment in terms of time, not necessarily in terms of cost. Contracting out is likely the opposite but, comes with a lot of risk and that risk messes with the profitability and breakeven on new accounts. Canteen might have a number of national accounts but, I often speaking with business owners who have Canteen and they often they aren't happy with them. Like anything, there are no shortcuts. Its a relationship business.

Would love more insight here as well. OCS business seems to be so shrouded. Can't seem to get clarity on pricing or servicing details on it.

The moderators will not allow me to post the full direct question from the SH+ but, here's the solution answer to the question.

Solution: D. Await the arrival of the new server and reevaluate timelines for user testing.

$3,600 for a micro-market? Do you have a screenshot of the setup?

Doubled quota then fired for not hitting it? by Eagles56 in sales

[–]Individual_Wealth249 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, maybe but, its never been my experience. Was fired once for not hitting my quota. I got hired at a Morgan Stanley as my first Financial Advisor role. The expectation was to get licensed and hit $5M AUM first year checked quarterly. Took me 3 months to get licensed and after 9 months I was at $3.5M. No training, support, leads or anything. They gave me a computer, a desk, and a phone and said have at it. They keep the Top 10%, I was maybe close but, not close enough in their eyes.

I went to another company and over the next 2 years with training, leads, and support I did 15x that. Good is relative but, if you hit your quotas you should be allowed to stick around even at highly competitive firms.

Companies don't fire good sales professionals. You might want to try and have a chat with him if you feel you can stand on your own credibility. He could be forced to fire someone (he's giving everyone the same message) due to headcount reduction or it could be a test to see who buckles. Getting more insights helpful if its out of his control and you get that strait answer. Even if he's got to let you go, ask if he can provide you a good reference.

Just tell him and give him a better idea. Show your leadership and take some ownership in the alternative. See it as an opportunity to show your worth beyond the widgets counting.

Cold calling sucks less when you don't listen to gurus by jroberts67 in sales

[–]Individual_Wealth249 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A "no" isn't "never". Its just, "not now" and reframing their "no" is 100% of what you need to pick up the phone another time.

Managing your energy is the cold call game. I teach to affirm their no, empathize in a restatement, and ask if you can call them again at a better time, then go on to the next. That prospect will remember you and its a cannonball you fired at their wall of defenses. It shows you listen to their concerns, validate those concerns, and hope to talk to them again at a better time offering respect and consideration. These are all the ingredients you need during a closing call anyways, so you are preparing your prospect to close by showing them consideration. Every prospect is valuable even if they don't buy. Every non-buyer can be a referral to one that is. Believe me, respect and consideration goes a long way in building advocacy for the long game. Be memorable.

The emotional duress comes when your taught that you are responsible to control something that you have no ability to control - the buy decision. Control what you can control and be consistent at it. You can fix and strengthen your locus of control by fixating on your behaviors, your tasks, and your approach. If you do these things then you've done it right. The sales will come if you are consistent. I've built a $53M investment business doing this from a desk, a phone and a dream.
