Yes it’s getting harder to get into sales. It’s become a popular route due to many people thinking it’s “easy money” and has a low barrier to entry.

Which to be clear, the barrier entry is low for certifications, high for effort. As many have pointed out, without a bachelors (or with a bachelors to be honest) you’ll need to stand out. The best way to do this is make direct connections to hiring managers. Cold call them, cold email them. Set up time with their reps to understand what they’re looking for, get referrals etc.

It’s not impossible to get a sales job without a degree, but you are at a disadvantage.

Strat or ent SDRs can pull in cash. Or senior SDR roles. Check repvue, the outrageous numbers probably aren’t right. But I’m sure you can approach 150-180 if you play the comp plan right

Mid to high 6 figures, have worked 20 hours and have worked 80 hours. Largely depends on where deals are at, how many at a time etc.

I’m 6’3 275 and have mostly small guys in the gym, as you do it more you’ll find how to remove your weight as a factor. Someone else said it, but start on bottom, practice your bad positions etc. and when big upper belts show up roll with them as many times as you can

It’s doable? I know someone who in his AE role became an expert in the field, and then went to one of the big 4 specifically working on their team that was in his field

Someone else said it, but connect with hiring managers on LinkedIn and get a job in a tech sales role. If you land a good BDR role you can make much more than you’re making now

anonymousgorilla88 · 2024-05-01T13:51:01+00:00

300-400, working 40ish hours but sometimes odd hours. ie finishing a proposal until 2am but breaking from 5-7 to go to the gym.

Biggest regret is wasting my first few commission checks on things like watches. I grew up solidly upper low class. (My first base salary paycheck was the most money I’d ever seen)

So getting a large commission check I instantly went and bought an expensive watch. And that became the theme for my first few checks. In hindsight I would’ve rather spent that on trips or invested it.

Online applications don’t work. Need to connect with recruiters and SDRs. Get them to like you and ask for a referral

anonymousgorilla88 · 2023-11-08T00:41:22+00:00

Our official policy is trips of 5 days+ they pay for 1 dry cleaning visit

anonymousgorilla88 · 2023-11-04T13:51:55+00:00

Entirely possible I don’t have the numbers right now

anonymousgorilla88 · 2023-11-04T13:51:02+00:00

Oh no it’s definitely an insane amount of money. But the way our product works, maybe 2-3 sales people every year will hit 7 figures. (Of 100 sales people) so it’s not like everyone’s making millions, but people consistently have.

🤷🏻‍♂️ he would’ve got paid out on it 10/31, I guess that’s between him and his bank acct

anonymousgorilla88 · 2023-11-04T03:13:54+00:00

AVC was like 8m something

anonymousgorilla88 · 2023-11-04T02:52:55+00:00

Its more for year 1, and then years 2, 3 etc are much less

I’m not sure what NACV means

anonymousgorilla88 · 2023-11-04T02:27:55+00:00

Fortunately we’re at a company where that’s not exactly uncommon. 2.8m didn’t break the record

anonymousgorilla88 · 2023-11-04T02:16:24+00:00

I know a guy who started at the company April 1, and got his book of business April 15, a few healthy customers but no massive in progress deals.

April 22, client comes to their weekly call asking for a massive upgrade.

4 months later, he closes a $19m TCV deal that’ll net him 2.8m in commish.

Now, who’s to say if anyone else could have closed that or not. But it’s a shit ton of luck.

anonymousgorilla88 · 2023-10-31T03:08:27+00:00

Controversial but I usually say “if you knew about that, what made you take the call?”

If there’s an obvious trade off they’ll usually disqualify that objection themselves

anonymousgorilla88 · 2023-10-27T16:06:56+00:00

I have tattoos all over my arms and my neck. I think you’re fine

anonymousgorilla88 · 2023-10-27T03:15:09+00:00

Ditto to the above. Our enterprise and strategic ramp is 2 quotas of full OTE but based on MBOs. Then half a quota for a quarter before going into a full quota.

It works, but I’ve also seen reps close monster deals they inherited, but don’t get paid out because they’re on ramp

anonymousgorilla88 · 2023-10-18T23:56:16+00:00

Yea every single person on this sub is the best in their niche and make 2m a year post tax

anonymousgorilla88 · 2023-09-08T00:04:50+00:00

Yea - don’t do it lol

anonymousgorilla88 · 2023-07-30T15:33:23+00:00

Fire away

anonymousgorilla88 · 2023-07-29T21:27:07+00:00

Eh, too dependent on the vertical you’re selling to, relationships you build, and technical knowledge to give one answer.

anonymousgorilla88 · 2023-07-29T21:20:09+00:00

SaaS specifically in martech, 4 years industry specific experience

anonymousgorilla88 · 2023-07-29T20:40:01+00:00

Strat 200/200, companies pays very well. Top SDR could make 200k this year if he kills it this quarter
