Depends on how close do you live to the office, how is the company doing as a whole right now, how are your #s, and then what visibility do you have otherwise (are there virtual meetings with your manager, with the team, company wide).: Answer will depend on circumstance. For me right now, our company is having some challenges, so I’m trying to come into the office for key meetings more than usual vs just virtual and making sure when I do go in I’m seen not just by my direct manager but by senior managers. You don’t necessarily have to go in for long can be a quick lunch or stop in for 15 minutes, just time it right.

As long as your # are good once a week was standard for me ish..

If your boss isn't saying and your numbers are good then that's all you need to worry about.

If your numbers are good a d you are meeting all your requirements, Id be fine with it

Depends on the job. We go once a month usually for a general sales meeting and that’s it. We do teams and calls for communication.

Its just a vanity thing to be honest. Always good to be present to show management that you are willing to be around

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.

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.

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.
