Hi everyone, I got hired on as entry level sales operations role back in January. It quickly turned into sales, and eventually all the sales for the small company once the head of sales left. I am happy to take on the additional role for my company, and they are going to let me. But they feel that without multiple people in a sales department the title head of sales might not be the best title. I have input in what my updated position title and salary would be. What should I ask for?

I like Business Development manager better , I don't like the sales title

Head of BD is honestly what their title should be as it was the last persons role and they are assuming the formers responsibilities.

I’m in this process now. But a little different. Coming in as only person in sales dept. They want to position as strategic biz mgr or open to title. I see it as Sales Director. Either way for me the vast scale of responsibility and ramp up can hurt my future position and earning. Such as a biz mgr it would detract from my inception of contributions to establishing dept and limit salary and allow another to come in quickly over the top. As sales director title, it covers scope of duties and brings along greater pay. I see it now as a mutual commitment to each other. It’s about the negotiation of role aspects and it’s contribution and what perceived and real value is. Negotiations.

I’ve looked at everyone on the team with the same titles salary on the sunshine list and the lowest I see is 121k. I assume there is an OT component of some sort but also can’t confirm.

Is just a hiring manager int. so obvi nothing guaranteed. Salary if offered will be more than 150k. My question is should I accept the interview and see where it goes?

Company on track for 22 goals. Traditionally included 2% profit sharing at YE, this year however comes with a unique caveat.

The CEO added a qualifier, to be eligible for the payout one must agree to and sign a binding arbitration agreement. In the CEOs email to staff he indicates these agreements are standard in most companies and typically required for new hires.

I’m curious to get insight from others. Is this standard practice and generally required for new hires? Something feels off.

For anyone who receives a quarterly bonus or raise in some form, does your employer start to schedule you for less hours when your raise kicks in, or pull you from a future schedule entirely once you receive a bonus; only to put you back on once the hours you would have worked and earned the amount given are passed? Ie; a part time employee getting $200.00 in a quarterly bonus and then not being scheduled a whole week during a bi-weekly pay period where they would have earned more on the clock…?
