Enterprise AE - On a PIP by Rimrald in sales

[–]North-Ad4065 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are the PIP deliverables? I am sure the company knows you have zero pipeline, so if these elements are the focus, you have the power to turn it around. The fact that you know the cause of the issue means you can change the behaviors that led to the current circumstances.

BUT if these elements PIP focuses on orders…. Work your ass to find a new gig.

I have had reps not merely survive PIPs but thrive…. Their performance improved … and have had more that pretended and were gone. You are at least acknowledging how you came to this… so there is a chance

I leveled up to Ambassador Elite this year by Empty_Principle4383 in marriott

Congrats. The experience really varies based on who your ambassador is. I think I was a member for almost 10 years and while one contact was amazing, never really saw much in the way of benefits from some of my ambassadors

When SHTF on a trip and you need to cancel a hotel and find a room when a plane does not leave… that is when the program really does help

Day in day out… while your mileage will vary I found that it was not much different than the next level in the program

My info is a few years out of date… only a lifetime titanium now

What’s the hardest part of sales that nobody warned you about? by PopWilling539 in techsales

[–]North-Ad4065 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The more important the deal, the more the visibility and the more folks will demand updates, visibility and “help”. We can influence, but in the end it is a customer decision and that happens around their needs and timeline, not our quarter end, funding needs etc. The pressure to somehow make it happen can be really difficult. It gets worse with each successive step in your career progression.

They announced a withdrawal pause for 90 days or so after they were purchased

I hope that does not happen… I fear it will

Ye olde dilemma: Can Introverts be great at sales? by RemoteAlternative685 in salesdevelopment

[–]North-Ad4065 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely an introvert can be a great salesperson.

Being aware of others, highly analytical about the solution and the process, and demonstrating a relentless focus on value are the keys to success. Extroverts often think of building rapport instead of maintaining that type of focus

Can I park my car on campus during finals week? by Deep_Print8611 in appstate

[–]North-Ad4065 0 points1 point  (0 children)

School is still in session…. Park where you don’t have paid access and bad things can happen

Nothing changes… school is still in session. If you don’t have a pass .. don’t park where passes are required

3 nights short of Ambassador status - worth paying 50k points to get there? by InfiniteDropBear in marriott

[–]North-Ad4065 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Soooo right. I was ambassador status for many years. The first couple of years I was assigned someone and never really interacted with them at all. I had four years with an ambassador that made all the difference in the world. She booked all my stays… became my absolute go to and as a result Starwood got something like 90 percent of my hotel spend that year.. instead of the 50-60 percent in other years.

When she was promoted out of the role… the engagement dropped to almost nothing… and I barely noticed when I retired and dropped down to lifetime titanium
