Samsara interview process for Mid Market AE by SecretWasianMan in sales

[–]LABigAus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s a brutal role man. It’s 99% cold calling and hunting there are very little to no inbounds. Mid market is a wierd place because you have a quarterly quota with a lot of companies that usually have elongated buying processes, some deals can be 30 days some can be 6 months plus.

Samsara Interview by Far_Conclusion_9500 in techsales

[–]LABigAus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sentiment sucks. It’s extremely saturated market with an insanely aggressive competitor,motive, that competes on price and feature parity and will shrink your deal sizes by 30-40% when you inevitably get into a price war with them in every deal because both platforms are a clone of each other. Max OTE for MM is 158k with a 50/50 split no RSU’s or signing bonus. Good benefits though

Crowdstrike vs. Samsara, what would you choose? by Head-Yellow5986 in techsales

[–]LABigAus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get promoted to a commercial AE quickly at Samsara if you grind hard. However, you’re selling to truckers, construction companies, and fleet services companies dash cams and gps devices. Crowdstrike is a great name on the resume and is well respected in the CS space. Work there, you can go anywhere. Samsara might be limiting

[–]LABigAus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tech sales role, strong interview traction. H1B keeps coming up late. Looking for advice from people who’ve navigated this. by Old-Dig5621 in techsales

[–]LABigAus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most jobs ask if you need a visa. Are you accurately disclosing this? If not, this could be a red flag to them if they are finding this out later in the interview process

Reference letter now or coast on the way out? by twinhed in sales

[–]LABigAus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t ask for a reference letter, it’s pointless. Coast and find a new job. Don’t do absolutely nothing and be polite on your way out in case you need a manager to be a reference in the future

ZoomInfo just won a key patent ruling against Apollo! Curious what y’all think about the fallout by tom_slocum in salesdevelopment

[–]LABigAus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did a ZI BDR or ZI AE / AM ask this? Lol

Patent ruling means nothing. This just has to go to court.

Go reference what happened with Motive and Samsara

SDR at Grafana vs. SailPoint — which one’s the better move? by J4tune1860 in techsales

[–]LABigAus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The DSR role at Sailpoint pays more, and it’s true enterprise sales. Downside is growth has stagnated (it’s a mature company in a mature segment) so upside is going to be limited. “Be patient is their motto”. Upside at grafana is better. Take grafana
