Looking for advice on the next step. So I started at my company just over 2 years ago as an entry level Sales admin with a split role and at the beginning of this year I moved fully into Sales Support and I'm kind of at a point where I coordinate and support the activity of my team, I fully process all orders and manage/maintain our CRM system, provide monthly & quarterly reports for our senior management team.

Is this it? Am I at the top end of this role and need to ask for more progression?

I would say look into analyst role, as this will give you more experience with different databases as well data visualization & turning the data into compelling stories to drive growth. Also, usually to get a good understanding from a role typically want at least 18 months to 2 years IMO.

Thank you for the advice, especially regarding timelines and potential avenues. While my role was split, I have been in Sales enablement since I started, I just had other duties besides so I'm honestly getting itchy and bored. I like it all fine, but I need something to progress towards which is why I was looking into Sales Analyst roles and I wasn't sure if it was appropriate as my background isn't analytical in the slightest (I'm an English grad who has always been better with numbers). I plan to put in a few more months here but finalising the next step in my head will actually make me commit to it and do it. 😊

You're more than welcome. Don't worry about your background, the analyst role is great, it will help you in the long run too & open doors. My 2nd role was an analyst. First, I started in the field as a sales rep then analyst, then sales development manager, then most recently account manager. But nowadays I know there is also customer success manager that you could pursue after your analyst role.

Looking to get into SaaS sales but my experience is in construction and fine furniture (I was a sales manager and was able to lead my team of 4 people to consistently hit 450k monthly targets). I did that for almost 2 years before making the switch. I miss sales, though. Does anyone have any connections to companies looking? I have also considered a sales analyst role considering that I am moderately versed in Salesforce and have worked both the customer facing and sales generating side. TIA!

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?
