I’ve worked at AT&T as a sales consultant for 6 years and 8 months where we prospect, uncover, and close on leads. I’ve used Salesforce for the past 4 years during my tenure. I’ve done B2B sales where I’ve received awards for it for 2 years consecutively. Loads of troubleshooting, uncovering needs through consultative styled selling, and tech app subscriptions.
I was wondering if I have the necessary skills to transition into a tech sales role. If so, what would be the best role/fit for me?Amazon Salesforce Google @
Any Spotify people here? Noticed there’s an AM role going at the moment in the UK but not sure what experience level it is. For reference I’ve got 6 years in ad sales experience with 3 years management (both in music industry). Would this be comfortable or is it worth holding out for AD?
Hi everyone!
Debating between an offer from 200 employee company vs Zoom (the company).
The smaller company has good benefits, great wlb and a great culture per Glassdoor reviews. But its an HR software and not easy to sell.
Compensation is similar.
Never worked in a big company like zoom before, what are the pros, and the drawbacks?

If you need a union, an individual goal oriented sales job is probably not for you
AM1 - I don’t think you know what a Union does. They help employees get fair wage and better work environment, typically for labor and hourly jobs. You sitting at home cold calling some guy while chillin on your couch with a performance based compensation plan, what do you want a Union to do for you?
Absolutely should be a union for almost every industry.
Of course there should be but I don’t think most sales people are insightful enough to understand why.
Absolutely. These comments reflect that as well.
Unions are 🤮
Y’all are really weird in these comments about unions. Just say you don’t want people to get paid properly and that you don’t value anyone that isn’t a manager and be done with it.
To answer OP: Yes, there are unions for every industry but there is not a union in place at every business. Unions are helpful for a multitude or reasons, I encourage you to look into Unions and how they work and how to work with them. I work with unionized employees and it’s really not bad or annoying or anything. They just want fair pay and working conditions. They just want a voice and it is our job as managers to listen to that voice.
AT&T sales people are all union
those that cant do, manage
I’ve always heard it said “those who can’t, teach.”. Management, in my experience, has only been promoted when they have high sales numbers.
Gawd no! Ridiculous idea for a sales team.
AT&T non management sales representatives are union
AT&T Retail Sales Consultants are union.
What?
You can’t have a union in a job that’s a competition  my job is to out sell you and any other company to make more money. I’m not stoping working because half the guys that don’t work hard aren’t making enough money and want to strike. The union to this job is the customer if my company treats me poorly I can take a job with the competition and convert the business. I’ve had to use that threat only once so far and they fixed there shit quickly.
I get what you’re saying. In your case the situation is different especially since you’re not in a store. With unions they deal with more than pay rates. Working conditions amount of regular hours, safety issues, other compensation and so on. As what seems to be an outside sales rep, you can negotiate your base pay when interviewing for a new job sometimes.
Unions can be beneficial in any industry.
I think there should be a sales union. Employers hind behind shady language a lot of the time to not pay out commissions or deny time off.
No, and hell no!
Probably depends on what you sell, where you work, how much you get paid on avg etc . People talk like a sales job is a sales job but a professional in a dealership , a financial wholesaler, and a SAS RD have very different roles
WTF. Sales is 1000% about you eat what you kill. Why would they have a union?
What grievances would the union solve?
That sucks to hear, I’m sorry to hear about bad actors. I’m revising our comp strategy and we’re hyper vigilant about grandfathering and sticking to our commitments during transition
