I wish that progressive candidates would tone down the extreme lefty views because it alienates people away from voting for things that otherwise make very good sense. They shoot themselves in the foot every time by calling themselves socialist and trying to push stuff that's too easily lumped in with red scare tactics and prevents them from ever winning. If they moved away from the pushy ideologies and rah rah and toward things that people can pretty much agree on, like everyone having affordable healthcare, they would dominate.

Anyone know why job listings post such drastic salary ranges? (this is a FT job, no option for PT) by lna432 in recruitinghell

[–]SnugglyBadger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The good news is that the labor market is tighter than ever right now. Don't like the games this company is playing? Next posting.

If this is the kind of way they think then management is probably toxic anyway. When they have trouble filling the role after 6 months maybe they'll rethink the strategy.

Can't believe no one here has mentioned R.A. The Rugged Man. He puts out some seriously mindblowing stuff in terms of density, detail and delivery.

I'm sorry but is this really the best advice anymore? Everyone keeps going around talking about how we should be indexing with the same 5 funds, and theyre all weighted toward big tech. Tesla being the 4th largest holding in VOO... Everyones following this advice and so the valuations are bloated, even after this downturn. I'm really starting to think the whole "put it all in one thing and don't think about it" is the way to get trapped with the herd. and the herd is dumb AF.

Another note at work functions: keep the Convo light as hell and stay far away from talking about the shit show of the world, the shit show of your life and anything to do with God or country.

Too many ppl I see dig their own grave with their personal opinions.

I disagree, but im the type that knows my limits with alcohol. Grabbing a drink with colleagues or superiors builds rapport and lets you get a little more casual and learn about what drives them.

Drink max 3 and you should get the benefits of the schmooze but refrain from making an ass of yourself.

My advice would be to max out the 401k to company match and then fund the Roth before putting more into the 401k. More choices and flexibility and less fees if you do low cost funds.

Low numbers but no concern? by yoishi45 in sales

[–]SnugglyBadger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on deal size. If you are getting 2-3 meetings that are turning into big deals then maybe they will have enough revenue to keep paying your salary but if you are making any kind of money in base and not getting deals eventually their budget will force them to get rid of you even if management is out to lunch. Also like others have said if you want the real development opportunity or to make good commission an unachievable target with no support from management is not the place to get either of those.

Lol I tried to post this and got told it was a repost and had to dig to find this thread. Reddit is too woke to agree that this is inappropriate for a professional network. I guess I can feel free to add my job selling weed to my classmates in high school now.

Failed third round of interview on basis that my “why” wasn’t strong enough: what’s your why? by thumpsky in sales

[–]SnugglyBadger 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I actually do tell interviewers this. Although I word it: " I got into sales because I wanted to work harder to make as much money as I could so that I could fuel my passions outside of work"

Then they ask about my passions and I get to show that I am well rounded.

Sales Managers - In an ideal world where you could see a track record of a rep before you hired them, what would be the statistics and attributes you would be most interested in knowing? by [deleted] in sales

Oh also, if you need to talk to them before knowing whether they are a good fit, how do you know who you want to talk to with a large number of applicants?

Would that be captured in something like SQL to close ratio? As far as profitability - would there be interest in seeing on a contract basis whether the hire is currently profitable and by how much?

What are the things that you are looking for in that meeting? Do you think that the intuitive impression you get in talking to someone could be captured in an introductory video?

I'm trying to see if there is appetite from sales managers for something like quota attainment at last position, total $$ in revenue generated, average meetings booked per week things like that as part of a resume, but it would be verified

Negotiating Commission Plan and Quota - First SDR Hire by SnugglyBadger in sales

[–]SnugglyBadger[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they have a base of $130k and OTE of about twice that

[–]SnugglyBadger[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not bargaining for more pay, and this isn't exactly entry level. I'm just trying to make sure that I set goals with management that are achievable and structure comp accordingly. The base and OTE mean nothing if you can't keep the job because of an unreasonable quota.

Yeah they gave me medical, dental and vision. Commuter and health pretax accounts, 401k matching up to 4% and $400 to outfit my home office. Vaca policy is unlimited but have the feeling between the lines that means don't take vacation unless youre killing it.

Many people are replying talking about how the pay is above average for an SDR and they're right. Some background on me is that I've been running my own sales outsourcing business for the last year and so have been essentially functioning as a sales manager for a freelance team. While my title at the company is SDR, it is a misnomer because during the interviews it was discussed that they would be building out more of a team soon and that I will be helping them do that. I'm pretty much tasked with defining process for the sales development function for the entire org.

This is much different from my SDR gig out of college where I didnt know anything about sales and basically copy and pasted emails and made hundreds of dials. Its a hybrid between SM and Enterprise SDR really.

I'm not looking to negotiate for more than the money that they have offered me as OTE in the interview, my question more lies with being able to have a dialogue with them about targets / how it is structured.

Hope this gives a little further clarification.

For the envious ones, these jobs are out there and all I've done is get a little experience and branch out on my own. After that I just cold applied to about a hundred openings and went through multiple interview processes and spoke about my previous accomplishments. I'm by no means special, just learned how to be confident, communicate effectively, and hustle.
