If you were to be honest with management would you tell them that any of your products or services are just money grab items to get more revenue and has low value to consumers? This is hypothetical so let's say if you were to have this interaction there would be no repercussions on your end.

To be honest I wouldn’t say anything out loud. If I don’t believe in the product or service then I would leave the company or do my best to find what makes the money grab items stand out sell it as best as possible and then take my leave. I wouldn’t share thoughts to management in this climate though.

True, sometimes biting your tongue is the best practice. I for one have done that plenty of times.

I try to be honest. My management is so arrogant they’d never hear it.

Dang I've had leadership in many sales roles that didn't take any of anyone's advice and that's another reason turnover can be high

Fellow enterprise tech sales fish, I’m interested to hear your perspective. I’ve been in a rut lately and seriously considering leaving sales. I think it’s primarily fueled by one thing:
After a 6 mo cycle I closed a large deal (4x the average deal size) prior to receiving delayed 2022 comp plans. The deal counts as a 2022 deal. On last years comp plan it would’ve paid out at 10%. This year it pays out at a measly 4%.

Hello, first post here. Outside sales, merchant services/card processing. I’m primarily a welder but I work 4 10-hour shifts typically then I try sales the last three days. I’ve done it long enough to where I’m confident and comfortable going to new businesses, establishing some rapport with business owners. But it seems like a lot of businesses see this as a waste of time, even adding services and cutting costs. I guess either I’m looking for advice or considering not doing this anymore.

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?

I book an average of 3-5 demos per week. People always show up, but the thing that worries me is that I do not have a way to track how many meetings I book in our CRM,and to be honest I feel like I didn’t get the best training overall. Should I start looking somewhere else? Thoughts?

I come to find out that deep, hidden within the website of the hypothetical client, they use the service already.
