Alright I need some outside perspective. Started a sales job in the fall with a OTE of 75k. The job itself has phases. Phase 1 - no commission, you boom for other reps on cold calls and whe 25 show up you graduate to phase 2. Phase 2 you boom for yourself , learn a lengthy sales cycles and expect to start. Between myself and those started around same time as me were all trending at 45-55 OTE. The job also has high turnover and always hiring new reps. I’m at 0 sales. Have I wasted my time or fail

That sounds like a very long ramp-up period. I would be asking how many people actually make it through each phase and how many are hitting the advertised OTE once they get there.

What they told me is very different from what I saw in my time here. They told me it takes roughly a month to get through phase 1 and on average 6 months to make a first sale. That is not what I have seen happen. Majority of new hires in phase 1 either left or were let go. Out of 12 people that were in my group only 3 remain with company. On average looking at others it take 8-9 months to make a first sale, and you don’t get commission until a month later. I think they severely embellished the length of process, OTE and how hands on the training is. Most people spend2.5 months in phase 1 only 1 person was done 5 weeks in.

Thoughtspot is more of a startup culture where most of the sales comes from outbound and it’s a tougher sell.
