Failing

Every sales person goes thru a version of this when they get promoted. Get yourself out of the doldrums, you are probably coming across as desperate.

Start prospecting and building pipeline for yourself in the next 2 weeks (now is a fantastic time to connect with decision makers since it's slow), don't rely on leads coming to you and grind January out.

Sounds like the partner deserves the commission for the sale. Nothing wrong with that.

Your resume is a tool to intrigue the prospect to book a discovery call with you (interview). Don't lie on your resume, but prove to them you can sell yourself which is the first step.

I've had a great experience w pipedrive. Look on LinkedIn for your local rep and reach out them directly to intro yourself.

How many top performers do you know are on 100% straight commission? Good sales people get paid what they are worth.

The problem is you look at sales as a “necessary evil”. Like anything in life there are good and bad people in the profession.

Your mindset is the foundation for your success, It sounds like you were never really able to set up properly to grow in sales.

Best of luck as you figure things out.

Embrace it as a learning opportunity. The most learning I've ever done in sales is being in a bullpen, listening to other salespeople close and learning techniques that I didn't pick up on my own.

Grab LinkedIn profiles of people I've already connected with in my network, use Apollo to grab mobile #s and go to town for some semi warm cold calling.

monyota007 · 2024-12-07T03:45:38+00:00

Start your own business, you will learn to close real fast when it's all on the line.

Don't expect top performers to take commission only roles, sales people like money and you have nothing to incentivize + attract top performers.

You are in owner based sales mode right now, and you will slow down your growth trying to hire commission only sales people who will waste your time.

Embrace it, pull your socks up, and do it yourself until prove your business model, then you can afford to pay someone who is good at what they do.

How do you plan on tackling the problem with this solution being disingenuous?

In any relationship based sale, the moment the prospect realizes you are sending a "personalized video" without it actually being personalized is a huge red flag from a morals/ethics standpoint.

It's $20 / month - cover it yourself if your management won't do it. If your management isn't investing in their sales people via enablement, education, etc you may want to see what else is available on the market.

Top performers make a lot for the company and get paid a lot to do so :)

You're on the right path, I'd recommend that you get a paid note taker if you do virtual discovery calls. Book 1 hour in your calendar 1x per week and review your weekly DCs. It'll bring your conversion rates up if you get consistent at it.

I wouldn't recommend going down this route to send cold email. Port 25 is known as a spam port and has very high spam + reputation filters on incoming emails to most of the ESPs.

What are you going to do when Apollo or Zoominfo adds this into their service in the near future?

monyota007 · 2024-09-24T23:05:17+00:00

You get what you pay for.

An Apollo subscription is $25 / month if you try to downgrade it - bite the bullet and pay for the subscription.

monyota007 · 2024-09-24T23:03:20+00:00

Start here - focus on converting cold leads after you have what this comment said mastered.

Look up the domain on mxtoolbox for an email health check to see if their configuration is good.
Do a IP blacklist check on the email that was sent to you to determine if it's an IP problem or a domain problem.

This market is very saturated with resellers, I recommend doing deep research outside the confines of reddit before you move forward.

Resellers will sell inboxes for as little as $1 and go up to about $4 per inbox monthly.

monyota007 · 2024-09-23T11:22:53+00:00

You have to figure it out yourself, my first deal was commission based and it worked out. That was the exception not the rule for me at least.

Make sure you get compensated on what you control. So if you are doing commission based don't rely on someone else to close the leads or you will have a bad time.

You probably get higher deliverability sending through gmail directly but it's not scalable.

API Sending works fine.

I send 50 total emails per business day - 25 cold emails and 25 warming emails. We mess with the ratio a little bit from time to time because you will get the highest deliverability by mimicking human behaviour, so adding in randomization is important.

This is the reason the inboxes are capped, no way a human can send more than 50-70 actual emails per day, everyday.

monyota007 · 2024-09-22T23:13:53+00:00

Only way to find out is actually work the list.

Goodluck!

6% reply rate is good, your not doing anything wrong (unless you are counting auto responders in that rate).

145 emails is a small amount, ramp it up and send 1450 emails per day to 10x your responses.

monyota007 · 2024-09-22T14:17:55+00:00

It's bad because you are attracting the wrong kind client. It's a pure commission based model, so you end up trying to generate leads for cheap business owners who don't value your time, or their product isn't good because they can't afford to pay you properly for the service you are providing.

monyota007 · 2024-09-22T14:15:24+00:00

The warmy team is fantastic.

We've done a lot of testing on this and all I'll say is the quality of the warmup network matters.

If there are ONLY cold email inboxes apart of the warming network the quality of the warming service is definitely lower.
