I’m trying to remove myself from cold calling and selling all together. I’m tired of being laid off and being in toxic environments is how many working non stop through the night and even weekends to get the job done. I’ve recently started applying for CSM positions is this a good move or am I just going to find myself in the same situation? Any Advice?

CSMs get paid less for similar work.

What’s your background? How many yoe? Have you considered becoming an AE? Some companies don’t have their AE’s making cold calls.

I technically don’t make cold calls in my role; everything is a warm lead or an appointment set up by our SDR teams. Unfortunately, I can not point you in any direction right now as most of the companies that I am familiar with are going thru a hiring freeze :/.

Most CSM jobs are sales jobs. Just a heads up, it’s a sales job without getting paid like an actual sales person.

Thank you for this. I e seen some of those in the job descriptions which I try to stay away from. But man thank you so much for letting me know what I’m getting myself into before I make this switch it really helps.

CSM can sometimes be a glorified baby sitter. Yes, it’s sales but you’re the clients main point of contact for everything good and bad. It can be mentally draining and like others have said you’ll get paid less than other sales people.

Really the last thing I need is more stress. I understand there’s stress but I just hate feeling the dread on Sunday night having to go to work the next day. Thank you for this I really appreciate you for your advice.

You cannot avoid toxic environment. It can be in any company. CSM I should say is more exhausting and it is paid less.

Have a big interview tomorrow. The question I dread the most is about why you’re looking for a new job. The honest answer is that there isn’t enough work to go around at my agency and I want to get ahead of the inevitable layoffs. What’s the best way to tell them this? Do I just make something else up entirely?
