What % of your paycheck are you putting towards savings account vs. retirement?

New consultant never got to fly. Have an upcoming cross-country flight coming up for my SO’s birthday. I would love to be able to gift him an upgrade. Any chance someone here can lend a United Upgrade that maybe expiring and they are willing to lend? I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

I'm from Baltimore, and lately, we have had a crazy buying spree, I mean I have sold the same property 2 times in less than 2 weeks, and the person who bought it immediately put it on the market and made an average of $25k in less than 5 days. Many reports show that investing in Baltimore and Philadelphia is the future, I don't doubt it. What is the fastest you have ever resold a property?

Went from an ultrasound tech to a clinical applications specialist. I’ve never had a traveling job and am used to having an always full schedule of patients every day. Anyone in the clinical applications field with some tips and typical salaries?

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.

Best spot for a deli sandwich??? Haven’t found a decent one yet

What areas of banking are first to cut down on count in a downturn?

Is there anything you think sets you apart as a good manager? Have people noticed it?

Any 🐠 have any luck getting coveted sport pieces at retail (e.g. Daytona or GMT) at Tourneau NYC? Apparently it’s more of a first come first serve model as opposed to long waitlists..

Why is TCS adding freshers when other companies are delaying onboarding of freshers?

What questions should I expect on techno managerial round ?

How to quit WHEN your (1st time, head in the clouds, also partner) Creative Director hasn't been caring about how you feel/your place in the company - BUT - the CEO/big boss (who hired/invited you in) is the sweetest & nicest manager (unfort. not my direct manager). I've always communicated openly with both about the things that didn't make me happy... This is a start-up,14 people, and I'll be the 4th person leaving the company this year. I feel I'm gonna 💔 him, he is so invested in this place

What happened that made you ask to talk to the manager?

For anyone who has run focus groups for an employer branding exercise, what questions did you find most impactful?

Can anyone recommend a recruiter please I am in Miami

I had an interview for an Enterprise AE role and towards the end the HM said, “I think you’d be a great fit. I want you to move forward here, but I’m not sure if you’re b2b or Enterprise” At my last gig, this happened and they sold me on the less senior role by saying “it’s essentially the same role”(which obv, isn’t true; it just pays less). How do I vet in this situation situation to avoid getting screwed?

So starting discussions with my company about a raise and a move into a more senior solutions consultant role. On average what does the average salary look like for solutions consultants/engineers etc. look like now in 2022?

Not sure if it’s just me, but does anyone else experience people from Pune visiting their LinkedIn nearly every day, multiple times a day? I’ve got a folk (or several folks?) from “Flexisales” and other Pune-based companies that have been viewing my profile every day for the past few months now. Doesn’t bother me too much, I just wish I knew who they were and what they wanted….

Has anyone transitioned from being an Account Executive into a CSM at a new company? If so, how’d you do it and what was the process like?

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.

Transitioning out of a small business owner role as a manufacturers rep in the foodservice industry and looking to transition into tech sales in or around the Austin area. Family is packing up and moving from Seattle down to Texas on Saturday. 15 years of selling across multiple industries and any networking would be most appreciated.

Does any one of you work in a company that hires contractors overseas?

Hey everyone! I’m a couple months in of trying to find a SDR role. Does anyone have any advice for interviews or just to stand out from the crowd? Any advice would be much appreciated!

Looking at Saas sales for supply chain/planning software as an account exec. Base is low so I’d have to bank on commissions. Anyone in a similar role concerned about hitting targets with looming recession and possibility of low conversion?

Hey friends, I've been in sales for over ten years in retail/ hospitality.

I'm focusing my efforts to make a switch into tech sales and id like to work for AWS.

I completed a tech sales bootcamp and have purchased a couple books on sales methodology, more so enhancing sales + active listening skills.

If anybody would be willing to chat! I'd love more insight on roles Within AWS tech sales.

Care for a quick dm chat?

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 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.

My company just said no overnight stays unless 150 miles or more and we can’t go over 149 per night. The boss said it came down from corporate but no one on the sales team got a corporate email. It seems like this is just a instruction from our immediate boss and people with big territories are upset because this new policy makes it more challenging to cover ground in certain areas of your territory. Is this a gold standard? Are all companies cutting back right now on sales team expenses?

Just to add on to my recent post, as a potential Associate Account Executive, im wondering what resources everyone has used specifically to become comfortable with pitch decks!

I have a pitch deck coming up and I'm super new to this genre but excited to learn all that I can!

Case is to pitch to a Ceo why they should onboard our product/service
Any specific resources/tools?

Keep making history!

One of the hardest things to do in business and in sales is to have someone love what you do so much that they'll put their name on the line and refer you business.

That's a relationship you have to nurture.

And I bet that most of you have more than a handful of happy customers who would refer you business. The easiest way to get more leads and pipeline is to ask for referrals.

I need some advice…not to sure what to think about this. Been working for a 4 years. I was the first sales leader. Working with the founder. I hired first 4 AE’s in 2018, team grew to 20 in 2019. Created SDR and account management role from scratch, 2020 team went to 30. 2021 42 reps and 2022 54. They hired a vp of sales who has no Saas experience and I need to train him. I got turned for the position as vp as I don’t have the experience in scaling. Which I do. 3 companies scaled to over 50m at
