Sales is about sales. Period. This is why I’m too afraid to make the move even tho I’d be good at it. Always an unpredictable risk, especially if you’re not meeting or exceeding quotas.

Probably a blessing in disguise. If you’re looking for honesty and integrity, sales ain’t it. Best of luck!

This is a company with no quotas, and they sell mineral supplements, so honesty is key.

But all I did was explain to someone that the filing system wasn’t as efficient as it could be, due to former employee negligence, and I was fired for “bad mouthing the company”.

Honestly though, I went to that position because they asked me to, because they respected my honesty at first.
I was more than happy to be just another production worker until that point.

But you’re right, having the weekend to think it over, I’m not meant to mingle with the suits that thinks they’re better than everyone else.

Some advice from a regular remote interviewer - If you feel you can justify/maximise your value to a company above the current salary band, apply for the role, impress the heck out of the panel and push for that higher salary. You'll be surprised how open this conversation can be.

Company's have budgets in place for recruitment. Therefore, adjustments can be made to other open/upcoming roles marginally to facilitate recruiting your higher salary request.

Anxiety before your sales demos?

Do these 2 things I used to do to get over it:

1. Know the product inside out - it will take time for you to gain confidence in your sales abilities but if you know the product will you’ll be more confident in that domain.

2. Do more demos - the more calls and presentations you do the more comfortable you’ll get. My advice is to try to get on a lot of presentations, even with leads that aren’t so good.
