The very nature of my position is that I am not busy unless the sales people are busy. Add the fact that I have automated a lot of the data tools that I use (no, the owner does not know this because the owner thinks the AI is used by China to spy on the Sates. I wish I was joking about this but that is what they really think) that I on average do only 20 hours of active work in a 50 work week. I mostly am a body who is in the office at all times while everyone else comes and goes as they please.

I work about 50 hours a week. 20 of it is driving so I’ll count that. About 15 is actual work. So 35.

I have a question for the sales managers out there.

What motivated you to pursue a career change from front line sales to managing a team of sales professionals?

I ask, because as I look to the future I am wondering if just staying on the front lines will be more lucrative then entering management.

Wondering what people think about my situation. I’ve been offered a role with a company. The job description didn’t mention college degree as a requirement. On my CV I have a section listed as “Education” and under it I have “Business Studies” with the university name and the 3 years that I attended the course (2.5 to be exact). It’s a 4 year degree and under this I have my High School equivalent with the years I attended there. The education wasn’t mentioned in the interviews. Continued below.

Stay or go ?

I'm at an early stage tech start up and gaining experience in an industry that I like. However, I am getting no formal training or sales coaching. Everything I've done so far (Inc. Targeted marketing and prospecting) has been self taught and I feel like I am lacking professional knowledge if I was to move onto a different company, especially considering that I am not involved in the full sales cycle.
