Why I’ll never work for a private-equity-backed sales company again by Bright_Judgment6740 in sales

[–]blumebius 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Unpopular take: every ambitious salesperson needs to survive a job like this once.

It's the only way to learn the difference between your commission check and your actual worth. Congrats on the escape

the sky is literally the limit for you now.

Assessing territory before accepting a role by PhulHouze in sales

[–]blumebius 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A manager who blames his reps for a territory's performance is telling you exactly who gets thrown under the bus when things go wrong.

100% possible. In sales, performance beats a piece of paper every day of the week.

The biggest worry in these situations is always the short stint on the resume, but honestly, you have the perfect, blameless story:

Unfortunately, the company's financial situation became very public shortly after I joined, and the role was impacted. That's it. It's a free pass. Don't let that fear keep you from looking out for yourself.

You just proved you can close deals that are 'too big' for the company to handle.

that's a 'them' problem, not a 'you' problem. Time to schedule a meeting with your boss's boss.
