To gauge whether or not it’s a worth move? Salary is actually slightly higher than where I’m sitting currently. I was recently promoted to M, and have been involved with plenty of RFPs, BD work

An AE role? Probably account management for employer groups that buy fully insured or TPA products from you. Maybe 10-20% travel, reasonable hours. Maybe not worth the move if salary is only slightly above current

Not a BUCA, but large national payer trying to expand eastwards. You can probably figure out which with that. I’d imagine both lines of products.

I’m currently a consulting manager. So typical consulting experience + whatever sales experience with BD work.

My primary concern is not knowing enough with the nature of the job to succeed — cold calling, pushing products, etc.

Is there usually a training period with adequate support? Or do they typically expect someone to come in knowing how to hit the ground running with minimal training? For some reason I see sales roles with expectations such as the latter...
