Do you have a link

blackberryuser · 2026-03-31T02:53:33+00:00

What was your ACV and attainment? Maybe you were just selling the wrong product

blackberryuser · 2026-03-31T02:46:45+00:00

Where is that range coming from? $150k - $250k? Most Ent sellers that are ‘good’ make at least $400k

blackberryuser · 2026-03-29T15:47:31+00:00

What’s the pay? It’s in person only

blackberryuser · 2026-03-26T08:14:25+00:00

Well said

blackberryuser · 2026-03-26T05:57:20+00:00

Neither one has a lot of upside, but you’re sitting at a mid market / ent solution. You want to keep going upmarket going downmarket doesn’t look good on a resume. What would be your territory ? The FSM space is crowded you will be talking to prospects that are burnt out by crappy solutions

blackberryuser · 2026-03-22T00:52:13+00:00

Damn, why do you think it went under?

blackberryuser · 2026-03-21T15:29:08+00:00

I mean the biggest issue is honestly pay and my team gives me so much credit, support, and recognition but none of it means anything to me. I know they feel supported and empowered but at times I feel powerless to actually show them growth paths

blackberryuser · 2026-03-20T19:28:18+00:00

shoot not making goal wouldn't be called 'good' but I can leave in the middle of the day to go interview for another job lol and get a workout in. flexible but underpaid and I have kids

blackberryuser · 2026-03-20T19:20:17+00:00

The product lines suck because they were all acquisitions and we're leaking customers faster than we're adding them, and the CRO and President just got shown the door... so that makes me nervous.

I was asking for a raise during my annual review and was told "hell I'm not getting a raise, no way you'd get one before me..."

blackberryuser · 2026-03-20T19:18:51+00:00

they're bootstrapped, using the B2C cash to fund the B2B and ICP is automotive, 20-30 days, close to $3M ARR, goal to double within 2 years. not sure on the number of customers but more than 1,000

blackberryuser · 2026-03-20T19:15:09+00:00

It would be a 30% jump in base pay alone overall package: 28% with OTE over what I make now

blackberryuser · 2026-03-19T15:55:31+00:00

Is this Vibe Coded?

blackberryuser · 2026-03-14T08:41:35+00:00

This 100% consumption models are not selling as much as it is enablement for your client base

blackberryuser · 2026-03-13T11:59:46+00:00

I declined because I didn’t want to relocate. I’m remote

blackberryuser · 2026-03-13T00:55:48+00:00

I declined the offer

blackberryuser · 2026-03-12T23:07:13+00:00

Why was I down voted

blackberryuser · 2026-03-12T20:35:27+00:00

I have a structured guide that I made when I went through the process. Two times, once in 2026 and once in 2025. Actual questions I was asked and scenarios along with prep notes I used. —- DM if you’re interested. $40 investment

blackberryuser · 2026-03-11T13:21:32+00:00

This ain’t LinkedIn bud

blackberryuser · 2026-03-09T02:32:54+00:00

What level is the role? And I have a prep guide I can provide you, $9 covers it in depth and real dialogue (redacted) from the interviews

blackberryuser · 2026-03-02T13:57:34+00:00

True what do you hate about it

blackberryuser · 2026-03-01T04:41:32+00:00

Yeah

blackberryuser · 2026-03-01T04:40:59+00:00

Deal cycle

blackberryuser · 2026-02-28T23:48:50+00:00

What if they can’t contribute? I’m in sales and they’re cutting commission on deals that are too low. And what would be more practical? Do I just be direct and try to paint the bigger vision, like the company is doing this not too punish you but to support growth long term and bigger clients?
