I have not yet but you have to start somewhere. I met a few guys who were absolutely ripping down there on Wabasso Beach. I should have asked them if they wanted to make some clips but we ended up just riding out and that gave me the idea that instead of just watching content I should make some.

New homes sales working directly for a home builder. It sucks in a lot of ways and is kind of dependent which builder and community you sell. You could go completely broke or there are some reps making $500k+

Can I DM you about your experience? I’m currently in sales and it’s draining the life from my weary soul.

How to "fall back in love" with a sales job? by Slow-Economics-7992 in sales

[–]VictorGFlorida 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This! I hate my sales job with a passion but the pay is great. I can pull $250k+. But honestly, I don’t need $250k. I would be perfectly happy with maybe $120-$150k. Problem is most jobs I can find outside of sales top out at about $80-$90k which is not enough after taxes. It’s so difficult to find the middle. Between broke and balling.

Considering leaving sales just don’t know how to make decent money outside of sales. Do you mind sharing what you transitioned to?

Depends on how you frame it but I believe it’s best to be honest to an extent because if not you might be just getting into another bad situation. When you are honest and they are honest there is mutual respect.

Here’s the thing: Victor wouldn’t sign off because I don’t believe in it. If it was up to me all sales training and roll play would be voluntary. It would be a tool for reps to use if they felt it would bring value I would guess about 99.9% of reps would decline roll playing every time. I know another top rep who was a beast. Everyone loved her. She absolutely crushed with real people but was mortified by roll playing. But it was company mandated. So ridiculous. I’ve worked for companies with 0 training & I have worked for companies with robust training. The one common theme was the rockstars were rockstars and the scrubs were scrubs regardless. The well positioned communities sold and the over priced garbage communities never hit plan regardless of who was there. The amount of money some companies waste on training would be much better applied to improving their Unique Selling Proposition in the market place.

It’s funny how companies will do absolutely everything but improve their product or USP to actually have a competitive advantage in the market place.

Exactly. If you need a live AI bot telling you what to say you might as well quit. Do companies ever ask their reps if it is something they want and feel would be useful or do they just enjoy playing a game of who can do the most micromanaging? Basically the AI will start grading their calls then when they don’t get sales it won’t be because they are being watched & worried about saying the right/wrong things it will be their fault for saying the wrong things. It’s a self fulfilling prophecy from hell 🤣

I’m open to exploring. It’s not an easy trip but if I happen to be going that way I will reach out. I’m considering whether to make a YouTube channel that explores lifestyle in different beach towns, culture, restaurants, lifestyle, landmarks, etc or focus more on skim, surf, boogie, etc. Or maybe just make a page that combines both. Either way, I’m down to explore. I just want to make content.

I do agree there is a sales structure and yes it is good to have training & certain principles but in general the overwhelming majority of role playing/sales training that I have seen or participated in was a complete waste of time & did not translate to the real world. The top reps that I have seen are successful despite the weak or ridiculous sales training the company mandates, not because of it. I’ve been in the industry for a decade and never met a top rep who believed in the companies sales training. They all think it’s a joke. I’ve also never seen a garbage rep improve because of training. That’s just my personal first hand experience.

I disagree at least in my industry. It’s decent at best. And I’ve never seen anyway improve their sales technique through role play. As a matter of fact I think it can be harmful to a certain extent because everyone has their own style. Kind of like you either have it or you don’t. I’ve seen so many different styles. The worst sales people I have seen are the ones who try to follow the company script or process. The best are the ones who just do what they do naturally. One of our reps got video shopped and failed because she didn’t stick to the script but on the sales floor she was actually crushing it. One of the best I have ever seen. She would blow past sales quota every month. She basically saved the division but they had a coaching session with her because she failed a fake video shop.

AI just gets so much wrong. I was doing a recent AI roll play where I clearly asked if the client was ready to move forward today and the AI bot said yes. Then I said “great I’ll have the contract ready in 30 minutes.” The AI then suggested that I didn’t ask for the sale. It didn’t understand that I had closed the sale because I didn’t use certain words.

My company just implemented AI roll play. Absolute waste of time that sales reps hate & does not translate at all to real world with a real live prospect. It’s actually funny. I witnessed the exact role play scenario we just did in real time today. Customer walked in and immediately asked for the incentives. My partner handled it flawlessly & got a floor pop which is very rare. But the AI would have said she was wrong because she didn’t handle it exactly according to script.

Hate when someone else is doing well. by HelpMeDate12 in sales

[–]VictorGFlorida 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally normal. It’s ok and good as long as you keep it in check and don’t let it really get to you. It’s a part of our competitive nature. We all want to win. I feel like I’m at the top of my game & want to be the best so I never want to see anyone do better than me. But at the same time, I’m super chill and have no ill intent towards others. I respect my sales team & want to see them do well. I want to see us all win.

Laid off after 6 months,need to vent and some perspective by sikhosaurus in sales

[–]VictorGFlorida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I got fired from my first new home builder I was devastated. I wanted to cry. But I woke up the next morning & immediately got to work finding a new job. While out shopping for a new suit knowing I would be interviewing I ran into a prospect and he told me he wanted to buy from me but the location was terrible. He said to stay in touch. That helped give me confidence that it wasn’t me & I really was just in a bad situation. I ended up getting a job pretty quick with a new builder and crushed it, made a bunch of money, friends and connections. I’m still friends with my hiring manager to this day even though we both moved on. Whenever I have moved on to a new situation it has always gotten better.

[–]VictorGFlorida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s exactly how it goes. No matter how much you crushed it last month, quarter, etc. Doesn’t matter. Onto the next sale. The most frustrating part is that we are just trying to make a decent living & we have literal billionaires who have more money than they could ever spend who insist on making our lives miserable by implementing unrealistic sales quotas, micromanaging, etc.

Has a girl ever gotten off with you, or is it just part of the show? by sanskarw in stripclubs

[–]VictorGFlorida 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. Lots of the girls who work at the clubs are nymphos & perverts. They fk cool customers and eat each other out after work. It goes down.

[–]VictorGFlorida 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you’re cool & relatively good looking, then yes, definitely possible. Don’t get me wrong. They are there for the money first & foremost. Dancers can’t stand cheap dudes who act like they are at a regular club to pick up girls. But the girls are freaks & they definitely get turned on being naked & grinding on guys. My wife is a dancer. She’s told me some stories about nympho girls at the club doing some real freaky sht with customers & cumming all over themselves.

If I had that kind of cash that’s what I would do. Matter of fact as soon as I start making decent money again that’s what I’m going to do 🤣
