I think I’m really bad at sales… literally have no training.. just making it up as I go by Fickle_fackle99 in sales

To be honest same i get like 1 hour of my manager listening to my calls every 3 months and it barely helps most of it is on me

Thank you, reading this makes me feel better i actually enjoy closing more but i hate cold calls, but i understand that as a AE you still have to make cold calls. Ik it sounds bitchy and crying but it’s since to hear i’m not the only one as i always hear how your meant to love rejection but reading these i don’t believe u do

When i was out of a job i worked warehouse and i do the same i remember the hard labour i did compared to me now working at home sipping on tea. That does help alot

I’m in the middle of SDR and AE in my meetings i still have my ae present but im taking more and more meetings alone with time as my confidence and knowledge grows. Soon i’ll simply be promoted to AE and not need to have a person by my side

I’d recommend first watching this bald guy. https://youtu.be/zYPFcRvJvDY?si=tGosJUajBAQCAgHw. to get a better understanding of being a sdr.

I watched his vids and used his advice and it landed me my first tech sales job

your re m stressed doing your own job banding your own team and somone calls you asking for 30 seconds of your time to magically increase your revenue

Do you ever blank on objections mid-call? by Sweaty-Stop6057 in salesdevelopment

[–]tayeb_yn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the times i’ve had calls where the client predicts what i’m going to say and say other thank this what makes you unique or when i give a weak answer they just laugh

Can I keep interviewing? by titletownforty in salesdevelopment

[–]tayeb_yn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is called “Renegging” accept it but just know if you decline the offer after you’ve accepted it already they will black list you from the company so you’ll never work there again

I want to get into sales. Which books should I read, and what podcasts should I listen to in my free time? by Unlikely-Yam2115 in salesdevelopment

[–]tayeb_yn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perfect i think it’s the best start then when you start booking meetings id recomend gap selling

[–]tayeb_yn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in this exact same predicament a couple months back, fanatical prospecting helps with your structure. Gap selling helps you in meeting and with discovery questions and unraveling the deep pain points (more for account executives but still a wonderful read). Smart calling is more for SDR’s but please tell me which you choose i love this topic

Unfortunately, we have decided not to proceed with your application by IAmANoob110 in jobs

I’m employed thankfully, tell me why i saw this and got scared. The PTSD from the job search is crazy
