Building Rapport? How important is it post Covid. Seems like cost is way more important to customers anymore over relationships. Does that make building rapport more or less important? It could go either way and I just can’t decide.

How are you all managing COVID anxiety for the little ones?

My wife and I are fully vaxxed now and we know kids seem to not be impacted much by it, but it still feels irresponsible to go back to “normal” if it means putting them at risk.

Do you feel your school district is supporting your role as school nurse or is administration handling most COVID issues?

With most opting to road trip/drive as vacation alternatives during covid, what stocks do you think would benefit?

COVID vaccine reactions? I got shot 1 of Pfizer on Friday. For me I had a sore arm for two days and was extremely tired. I’d love to hear others who got JnJ or Moderna.

MBA admit here and have to put down a deposit soon, having serious cold feet right now due to the covid situation and potentially having to start virtually. Would love any perspective on how it's been particularly socially and what your schools' outlook on the fall is

So I just had 2 tables fight in a restaurant. Table A coughed and table B said oh covid and laughed. Happens that table A is Asian and table B is white.
Table A assumed the joke is because they are Asian and table B says no, everyone got covid not just Asians it’s just a bad joke; who is right?
Table A escalated to a fight and had to be both separated and asked to leave. Who is right?

How do you guys really think COVID-19 will affect the rest of the school year. My coworkers and a bunch of other people seem to think we won’t go back until the fall 😕 It breaks my heart to hear.

Hope everyone in IFS is hanging in during this crazy COVID-19 time.

Are unpaid internships still a thing? Aside from covid times thought they’d gone out.

Can (Should) we all as employees decide that we don't want to get back to offices 5 days as week post this COVID19 fiasco is done and dusted.?

What's the point? If we are able to deliver results, work and progress from home, then why do we need to be shackled back into the monolithic corporate systemic enslavement?

Maybe stick with 1 or 2 days of office for Important F2F meeting, with rest WFH?

Need some feedback, I am lateraling into an associate role at a top 25 law firm after several years at government and corporate jobs & have concerns about the background check.

I haven’t made much money in the past few years and have accrued significant debt from credit cards & personal loans, some of which was to help out family during COVID. My credit utilization is at 90% & I’ve been making payments on time. Credit score is at 580 after being at 780 before law school. Will this ding me?

I cannot bring myself to want to meet strangers from the internet again now that there's also a risk of getting COVID 😕

I don't know about the rest of the world, but in the UK the rainbow has been co-opted as a symbol for hope because of COVID. I know everyone's hearts in the right place, but that symbol was ours (cont

Trying to get ideas for the holidays, can anyone share what they will be doing for employees in this new COVID norm

I've seen a few people setup a drop shipping business during COVID. Does anyone have experience doing this? Anybody have input on the matter?

Any fish still alive in this bowl, or has everyone left after the protests and COVID-19 quarantine restrictions? 👋🏻 🇭🇰

Manager says overtime is mandatory for COVID and I’ll lose my job if I don’t do it!

How do you move up the chain as a CRA? From 75% traveling to 100% remote role or maybe 20% travel. Any suggestion on remote roles in clinical research where CRA experience is appreciated?

So is everyone busy taking inventory of their food storage?

Trying again, I want to know a typical hike in % in Cognizant when an associate is promoted to manager.
Didn't get any reply last time around, hope, this time lucky!! :)

Any recommendations for a contractor for a deck renovation?

Is there any onsite opportunity or global exposure in Accenture Capability Network?

Potentially relocating to Denver next year, moving alone (24F) know close to no one. What would be a good neighborhood to live in? Also considering boulder, but think Denver might be best (I like hiking and being outside, but also appreciate a variety of activities)

Any book recommendations on how to tame/work with being an overachievers? I'm assuming a lot of us have a hard time switching off the problem-solving voice in our head (I know I do!) and wonder if there anything good to read about this.

5/7 Thread (General):

Anyone a nurse/ nurse practitioner or work with one your team? Interested in hearing your onboarding process into consulting. Are there any companies that have extensive/supportive onboarding specifically for clinicians? Or alternatively companies to steer clear of due to poor support/onboarding.

Are there companies in the industry that will pay for employees to get their P&C or CPCU? Or even allow for hours during the work day to be designated towards them?

- Can I put you in touch with sleazy recruiters?
- Can I write a LinkedIn recommendation for you since those help land high paying jobs?

I copied this post from a connection, and I encourage others to copy it from me. You are in this alone.

If I have to book 20 meetings a month, how many conversations do I need to be having a day ( email, LinkedIn, cold calls, dark social ) with a drop out rate at 20%.

Hey folks, shouldn't it be renamed to "Target MAANG"? just a thought.. 😅

I’m a relatively new AE at my company but only 1/3 hit quota and 1/3 of those people hit POE+. Is it worth it to stay? We’re about to hit the “busiest” month but with everything going on in the world right now I don’t see it picking up. What do you all recommend?

Looking for opinions on this process.

Health tech company with a semi-luxury D2C service, $1k - $3k price point. Semi Brand Recognition with FB + IG marketing to generate leads in the Bay Area.

Leads are redirected to our website, which is optimized for self-service and conversion.

After a day, unconverted leads are assigned to outbound SDR team. They’ll get around 750 leads per month, converting at a 5% conversion rate.

Is this viable? Thanks for your input! 🙏

What sales jobs make 500K to +1 million a year?

Looking for a recommendation for books, courses, or podcasts that will help me learn the Data Center. First, I’d like to understand the foundations of a data center (how storage, servers, networking, Vmware works). Then learn about vendors, manufactures their products and etc. TY

Anybody out here know of any “development programs” for mid career professionals looking to transition to sales? Have a data/analytics b/g., but I’m much more social than a “typical” data/analytics person. We have a program at my company that I’m networking to get into, but believe it’s prudent to diversify options, as there is obviously no guarantee that they select me for the program.

So I’m currently entering the 4th and final round of an interview process for a sales role.. The final round entails a sales pitch presentation where I present either a topic or product that I can confidently convey a persuasive message about.

The actual topic isn’t what’s important as it’s more about then actual skills show cased.. I’m currently struggling to decide on an easy topic that would suit well - between the topic and then any other words of advise I can use some tips for this !!

I’m currently in home improvement / GC sales and I do very well.
However, the company I am at I cannot grow any farther than this position.
Any ideas on furthering my career in construction? Paths to take or avoid?

What are some of the highest paying industries for sales in Canada? I know tech sales is very lucrative in the states. Does that hold true here? Thanks! 🇨🇦

My manager casually threw out that she had an exec tell her it’s fine if she wants to close my division down next year. We are a niche team in a large company. I asked her to clarify as I am worried about my team (and me) she said we would be “well taken care of” as in receive severance…she was so casual about it and said she didn’t know what she would do - we’re performing well, but it’s a small market. What do I do? Warn my team? Look for jobs? I have been here for 20 years w/niche skills…

Would selling Data Analytic software as an AE be a good stepping stone to eventually become an AE for cyber security?

Been interviewing for a while - just got an email ..” let me know when you have a moment for a quick call tomorrow for an update” from the Meta recruiter. Should I be expecting an offer or is this bad news?

Hey Everyone! I was let go of a tech startup. Mostly doing BD, 65k just moved up to an Account Manager role at 75K +5k (Quarterly Bonus)≈90k/year.

The new company I work for Imports Sustainable Restaurant Products. And I focus on long term sales cycles. Nothing too sexy about it tbh. What are your thoughts on this move and I’m looking to grow my career to make 200k in a couple years any advise from anyone? Is this possible with this experience should I look somewhere else? I’m 22 w 5yrs exp

I’m a young professional with 3 years of Sales experience seeking advice on how to find meaning in being a salesperson anymore? Starting to feel like this isn’t rewarding or “essential”. If you’ve felt this way before what did you do?

After 5 years as an AE / Sales Manager, what are the next possible career paths?

I love sales and wish I could stay as an individual contributor, but I feel like I am not getting anywhere with the salary i want, and the job itself I feel isn't using all of my potential/skillets (plus I'd like to learn and put into practice more).

So I'm really keen to hear from others what steps they took in their career to get into roles they love doing now but still within the sales side of an organisation.

Anybody else feel unworthy of this career? When it comes to stack rankings I’m generally in the top 50% of reps at companies I’ve worked for. On good years I’ll get into top 20%.

It seems every sales job posting is looking for people who have blown out their number every single year. I just don’t see how this is even possible, I’ve worked plenty of places where they gave us an unachievable target so nobody hit their number in a given year.

So yall all happy with yall comp plans?

Looking to get back into SaaS sales after a few year hiatus. Any tips or recommendations to ramp myself back into SaaS sales? Any podcast or books, etc?
