Marketing Specialist here, thinking about going into sales. What can I expect? should I start as a BDR or aim for an ISR role as previous experience in a tech company. What is the general commission structure for a bdr? (UK based)

I’m looking to transition into a CSM role and wondering if there are any tips or resources on how one does that from an entry level tech sales role. I was previously a private events manager and have about 7 years of management experience overall prior to pivoting into tech, where I feel like I gained a lot of transferable skills for the CS space. Appreciate the help I’m advance!

Here comes Uncle Sam asking for $10k transfer reports...let’s see.

How’s the remote EA job search going for y’all? I keep getting rejections for “remote” jobs in my city and everywhere else and I’m not sure why. My resume is great (or at least I think it is) and has always gotten me lots of callbacks…until this year. I know I’m competing with hundreds of peeps vs the usual local folks, but sheesh!

Hi all, my first post here. What do y'all think of Google response to the pandemic? I've been pretty happy with it myself though I can think of potential improvement...

What’s a good brunch spot to bring a out of town colleague + SO to?

At what point does it not make sense to buy/ build a bigger home? My husband dislikes our house immensely (was his with former wife) and wants to move. Only owes $180k on it, we’ve been together 6 years and thus I’d rather just remodel. It’s the only thing we disagree about - moving or staying. He doesn’t want to invest one more cent in this house.

Hellllo…. No pressure. I am a fish out of my bowl here seeking a bit of guidance and (emotional) support (half kidding.) My client was served as a defendant in a chapter 11. Any pointers on how to successfully answer/defend?

Hi all - I am a Sr. IT Internal Audit Consultant at a medium-size firm and I'm exploring Sales Engineer roles as a potential exit opportunity. I'm wondering if anyone else in this bowl has an IT Audit background and would be able to offer me advice on how to make the career switch.

What enterprise cloud salesperson makes more money in a year? A partner like Accenture or a direct seller at a company like Amazon or Microsoft? Does size of company matter? Are smaller partners making more?

Interviewed for a company today. The remuneration package $120k-$180k/year [Base + % of Commission = OTE] (50/50 spilt).

They’re asking for an expected salary, if my expected salary is $100k/year, comes out to $8.3k/month.

Based on the $180k and paymix of 50/50, that means $90k is the base salary which is lower than my expected - is this correct? If so, what should I do?

I’m in Sales, but brand new to tech sales. I had a resume person help me - gorgeous cover letter too that showcases my skills.

I keep getting rejected for lack of SaaS experience. What can I say or do to get my foot in the door? I am confident that I can crush it but not even getting past the gatekeeper at this point. It’s a blanket “ we need someone with experience” and I’m trying to not get discouraged.

Should I transition to a tech sales job? Thoughts on risk vs reward? I am 34 yo, married with a baby incoming. I work at Google Cloud in solutions engineering (I help develop quantitative business cases with sales teams for customers). My cash base + bonus is $220k (going to ignore equity). I have an MBA from the University of Chicago, not that it matters much in sales. I have always been in a consulting role but I think I can make more in sales. I have a competitive personality and I am bored.

Has anyone made the move from vendor side to an existing client? A client I closed is hiring and I think I’d be a great fit. However, I know I need to navigate with care. I love the product I sell currently, but my company was acquired recently and comp plans changed. Any advice on doing this in a tactful way?

I am trying to move from my farming role back to an outbound prospecting position. I have a couple screening calls for some pretty awesome companies and I would love some pointers on how to beat the objection that I have only been in my farming role since June. How would you sell the fact you want to go back to SDR, I am sick and tired of non revenue generating activity and miss having a list to attack.

Don’t assume that more likes and comments directly lead to sales. I’ve had posts with 20 likes that generated me more leads than a post with 100 likes.

Sales is a funny thing.
