Anyone here eyeing a promotion to a higher sales role or leadership spot within their company? I'm curious to hear what you're actively doing to position yourself for that move. Like, beyond just hitting your numbers what skills are you sharpening what relationships are you building and what projects are you diving into to show you're ready when the opportunity pops up?

I am heavily considering trying to get a promotion. Numbers are being hit and the time has been put in. My next move is probably going to be sitting down with my manager and having the conversation that I’d like to move up. Really hoping they will work with me on the best path forward, so it isn’t a guessing game. Every company can be so different with it.

I kniw whats helped me many times is helping your manager or and district manager or gm do some of their tasks and take the workload off a bit on them if your well versed in said tasks or you can be mentored by them to learn and assist and that route never fails to assist with professional growth and possibly a promotion when it comes open

I’ve tried to counter offer but they said I’m currently maxing the salary band (L4).
