Just started as an AE and I am responsible for the prospecting, running meetings, and closing the deal. Ive been doing like 50/calls per day with about 40 emails per day. I either keep getting rejection emails, VM’s or not interested over the phone. Can someone give me advice how to to get more people attend my initial meetings? Thats one of the big things I am measured on. Thanks!

I am the walking definition of mediocrity and I'm OK with it as every supposed 'rockstar' I've come across in the few short years I've been here in the US has also been entirely mediocre at best. The problem is, when every job advert asks for "the world's greatest X", how do you put across that you can do the job perfectly well without sounding like an a$$hole?

Was holding quite a sizable position in a security that was down a bit but I was hoping for a big upside as a long horizon. EY decides to restrict it and now I’m forced to sell at a loss. This is some BS. They should compensate me for my losses.

I’m currently working at a T2 and have recently applied to all three MBB’s at the consultant level- each for the NYC office. I’ve been rejected at the resume stage for all three and not sure what went wrong. I have an M7 MBA, good work experience, and applied with a referral each time. I’ve also had folks from each company look over my resume to ensure quality. Is it because I’m applying only the NYC office that my resume is getting dinged? Feeling so incredibly disheartened.

How can we avail ME time in zs??... please guide with the process and rules guys, would be great help.

Has your company acknowledged what's happening in Minneapolis? Should it?

My company covers in depth results each week, including meetings set/attended, wins, revenue, retention etc. I feel as if evaluating in such depth is detrimental to the psyche, as you never get to “ride the high.” In addition, some weeks are simply slower than others, and it’s not always representative of what the results at the end of the period or quarter will be. Is this not a big deal, and I’m I placing too much importance on it? Or is it beneficial to review results less frequently?

My company has always had SalesForce but it was not really a tool that we used or that anyone looked at. Over the last year my company has put more stress on growth (to be acquired or IPO) and they are now obsessed. I know it is important and necessary and my boss is clearly becoming stressed with our entire team. But I find it extremely hard to keep as up to date and in line with they new expectations, anyone have any advice on how they stay motivated with SalesForce? Thanks!
