Any with high spend or pipeline - schedule intro calls

A-Z, Z-A, research all and intro to all. While you're doing that, dig in and discover which ones have the highest potential. Do this, because current high spenders could be maxed out, and some that are spending little to none could become your largest customer down the road.

Go through and prioritize your list by most likely to engage, then start working your way down.

Prioritize the higher value accounts $$$

Are you only working one country/territory or multiple? You can also segment based on which area is more likely to be online or receptive at the moment if that makes sense. In my case, I deal with several different countries so sometimes it useful to take a look at the country calendars to see what all is going on.

Inflation costs are killing my pipeline. Many of my deals are scaling back greatly because of their rising operating costs.

How do we overcome the inflation objection? I mean obviously the answer is to show how much value we offer, but how do we do that when all of the companies we work with barely have enough funding?

They need our services, which is at least some job security, but their scale back is greatly affecting our projections and quota attainment.

Hey, reaching out for advice. My husband has spent the bulk of his life in the restaurant industry as a beverage director and then most recently had owned a professional services company. He is thinking of getting into sales and is looking for a dynamic work environment and a place that would be willing to see his entrepreneurship as at least some relevant experience. Maybe entry level plus room for growth. Anyone have any ideas for good companies to target?

13 yr outside Sales Experience in the B2B space, multiple roles/companies. Current quota is $15MCAD, I usually do not bad in quota but lately has shifted to rewarding medicorciy and "pooling" some numbers countrywide which i really dont like.
Current comp is $85k Base and $115 OTE with a ceiling of $150k CAD/$120k US. Feel it's too little for my experience and they are taking perks away by the day.
Thinking of moving to I tech sales? Anyone else do it? What's comp look like?
