Quantity/availability: Regional differences in products: eg some products will sell better than others in some locations (eg sunscreen in Florida), perishability/seasonality of the produce (eg ACs during the summer of a food vs other product), in-stock availability nationwide od product.

Price/profitability

Duration of promo (usu retailers will have a special of the week/two weeks etc)

All of this plus the reason for the % off, are you trying to liquidate, highlight a new product etc? What is the margin before and after the discount and vs your margin plan? Can you afford it margin wise? If it’s not a private label product, can you go to the vendor/manufacturer and ask them to help off set the margin erosion?

Products I worked on previously were sold to a new company. I am a good fit because of my experience. However, I specifically left the previous company because I disagreed with the strategic direction they were taking with the products and didn't leave on the best terms with some of those involved. I've been told that the leadership is all new people, but, some might still be there.

I have over 12 years in B2B sales/sales management experience along with a graduate degree. I am wanting to shift gears and I am at a point where I can invest time in myself to learn through practical experience. The new industry I am wanting to pursue is real estate investment.

I'm considering looking for a new job while I have my current job. If I mark on LinkedIn that I'm looking for work but privately so that only recruiters can see it, would HR in my current company be able to see it also? Unsure who all is considered a "recruiter" on LinkedIn.
