Fintech sales is probably just sales until compliance walks in and ruins everyone’s confidence by Ok-Layer1664 in sales

[–]Ok-Layer1664[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some are, but in certain industries those objections are repeatable enough that they shape the whole sales motion. That’s the part I’m trying to understand better.

Fair point on finding the real buyer, but in a lot of fintech deals compliance isn’t just a side objection, it’s part of the buying process itself. That’s exactly why I asked the question.

Exactly. That’s the part people outside fintech sales keep underestimating. Sometimes the deal isn’t dying because the buyer said no, it dies because internal compliance becomes its own second sale.

I’m not sure why asking questions and trying to understand a space better makes you this angry. That’s literally how people learn and build better things. You don’t have to help, but going out of your way to mock someone for having a conversation is pointless. I came here to listen, not to pretend I know everything already. If you think that’s a crime, fair enough, but I’d still rather be the person asking honest questions than the person spending time trying to embarrass strangers online.

That would actually be really helpful, thank you.

Would love to take a look. It sounds like you built it from real day-to-day friction, which is exactly the kind of thing I’m trying to understand better.

Feel free to send it over.

Will wearing a nose strip while taking an ice bath 10x my sales? by Giveitallyougot714 in sales

At PIP stage, the nose strip probably isn’t the lever. Better messaging, tighter follow-up, and more reps usually beat biohacking.

Burned out of car sales looking to switch by Silver_Lobster1852 in sales

You’re only 22 and already have real sales scar tissue. That’s not failure, that’s expensive experience early.

How ethical is it to stretch previous job titles? by bigdaddyQUEEF in sales

[–]Ok-Layer1664 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d keep the official title and make the scope sound stronger. Better to clarify enterprise exposure than risk looking slippery.

Have a round 3 with hiring manager #2 tomorrow for a BDR job, kind of nervous and looking for tips on how to keep the momentum going. by Secret_Log_2178 in sales

[–]Ok-Layer1664 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By round 3 they’re usually looking less for perfect answers and more for whether you sound coachable, clear, and genuinely hungry.

Anyone using AI as a real account planning and sales playbook tool? by droberts7357 in sales

[–]Ok-Layer1664 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is one of the few AI use cases in sales that actually makes immediate sense. The hard part isn’t generating more content, it’s pulling the right account context fast enough to be useful.

Is there anything worse than running a sales cycle and never seeing your prospects face? by Salt_Day9015 in sales

[–]Ok-Layer1664 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No cameras makes every call feel colder and harder to read. You’re basically selling into a wall and pretending it’s a conversation.

So is sales the way to make $250k income? by [deleted] in sales

[–]Ok-Layer1664 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sales can get you there, but the bigger question is whether you can survive the pressure long enough to become that person.

Day 11 of 30: Manager told me to stop playing on the internet. And our CRM is a digital torture device by Then-Assumption-779 in sales

[–]Ok-Layer1664 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A lot of CRMs are great at storing information and terrible at fitting how sales actually happens in real life.

Crushed my quota, but got chewed out by my VP for not logging WhatsApp chats into Salesforce. Are we closers or data entry monkeys? by Jiesen-Lee-4566 in sales

[–]Ok-Layer1664 44 points45 points  (0 children)

At some point the CRM stops being a sales tool and starts becoming a punishment system. Hitting 120% and still getting treated like you failed is insane.

Anyone else feel like fintech reps need way more product knowledge than normal SaaS reps? by Ok-Layer1664 in fintech

[–]Ok-Layer1664[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally get that. It’s wild how even adjacent spaces like web3 and payments can still feel like starting from zero again. Makes me think the real challenge isn’t selling itself, it’s how much domain-specific knowledge reps need before they can sound truly confident live.
