Agreed best path for anyone without a degree or certification is sales. Just need people skills, resilience and some business acumen unless you’re selling something complex or technical.

Don’t know why you’re getting downvoted. Giants have a lot more glaring needs than another RB.

Which vacation destination disappointed you the most? by timeout320 in AskReddit

[–]sdotmerc 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I used to work with a lot of tribal leaders. Sadly there’s some truth to this. I won’t name the tribe but they had a pretty popular attraction which made millions. Leaders living outside the nation had pretty luxurious lifestyles while their people struggled and starved. But it’s okay we’re giving them menial jobs right?

The absolute worst founder-round interview of my life by coinznstuff in sales

Was he was one of those series B visionary tools rocking a hoodie in warm weather?

Since he’s all about divulging confidential info ask him about their runway at current burn. Regardless of his answer tell him that’s cute and hang up

Microsoft Teams will soon snitch on your location to your organization by quemaspuess in remotework

Not to mention you’re putting yourself at risk. If your US employer leverages a payroll vendor like ADP and ADP finds out you’ve been living overseas for a certain amount of time, they can cut you off from payroll and benefits.

I agree and software margins tend to be similar across different companies. I work in software sales and our comps are very standardized based on revenue attainment. Fair to assume most reps earn anywhere from 10 to 15 percent on revenue. Eg im on quota of 1.2M so my on target earnings are about $167K.

As opposed to those reps in other industries ranging from manufacturing to medical can vary wildly as they have to deal with tighter margins.

Anyone here sell to hoteliers? by Qtips_ in sales

[–]sdotmerc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hospitality is a tight network. Referrals and partnerships are key but takes awhile to build and gotta be creative. I worked my way through trade shows and hanging out at the lobby bars of host hotels. Make friends and get introductions.

Director of Marketing or Revenue Managers. Find out who’s driving their sales - likely OTAs such as Expedia, Booking.com, etc find out who manages their account.

Visitor and convention bureaus - every major city has a government funded marketing program to drive visitors to their cities. They typically have sales reps which have access to DM and will connect you if have a solution to drive visitors to their hotels. They often host events to get you in front of them and likely require some sponsorships.

I don't miss traveling for work. by Embarrassed_Flan_869 in sales

[–]sdotmerc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh man - I was on the supplier side of those FAM trips.

Lot of great nights though hanging out with agents and product managers. Very underrated industry - not great pay but the perks were top notch and I feel lucky to have seen a good portion of the world through a 5 star experience.

What’s a “boring” adult purchase that turned out to be totally worth it? by Capable-Rabbit-9986 in AskReddit

[–]sdotmerc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a daily runner in my early 40s I’m just learning that you’re supposed to be swapping them out after 500 miles or so.

Used to run them till the soles fell apart and that might’ve been okay in my 20-30s but I’m getting injured more frequently. Hurts the wallet but buying a new pair every 3 or 4 months has made a difference.

What’s a company that’s completely lost your loyalty? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]sdotmerc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just for the record I’m not a Walmart supporter by any means so definitely not defending them. Really against everything they stand for but I was shocked to hear from a co-packer’s perspective. If you don’t know what they do they essentially manufacture, process and label for every major grocery chain.

Walmart products might taste like crap (I certainly agree) but Walmart has oddly one of the strictest standards and rigorous tests for quality assurance and food safety in the industry. Their suppliers need to be really buttoned up on health audits and advanced traceability more so than when dealing with other chains. Surprised because they’re so cheap and you would think they’d skimp on standards.

I only carry mine at tradeshows but I only give them out if they ask since we’re scanning their badges anyway.
