New Account Director here. Had 2+ years of supervisor experience prior. Any tips as I transition to this new role? What key things make the positions different? Would love to hear from all disciplines

Hi folks, has anyone changed their career paths from a cyber implementation specialist to sales? I have currently in the interview process for a cloud sales specialist at Palo Alto. They are going to train me technically and teach me sales for 18 months. Not so sure if this is a good idea…but as I thought about it aren’t we all selling in consulting too? Instead of a product we are selling our services. Not so sure on how to approach this

I’m a young professional with 3 years of Sales experience seeking advice on how to find meaning in being a salesperson anymore? Starting to feel like this isn’t rewarding or “essential”. If you’ve felt this way before what did you do?

Is there a point when MBA doesn't make financial sense? I'm 29 at $180k base with additional compensation typically around 15-25% over the last few years.

I like what I'm doing I think, but a top MBA had always been one of those personal goals of mine. Goal would be to maybe switch to MBB where I think compensation is slightly higher than what I'm getting right now at my level.

Does it make sense to do a 2 year program, probably be $200k in debt and miss out on $400k earnings :(?

Is it to be a Chief Data Officer or similar?

I've worked closely with several CDOs, and I'm not sure it's my dream..

I'm tired of showing organizations how to be "data-driven".
I think I can't stomach more "data governance" programs.

Having said that, I know a few CDOs with TC >$1M.

I feel like I've been living under a rock for ~5 yrs. I was happy and blowing off money with the thinking that I'll start saving once I start earning more.

Just realised that could've started early. I'm in mid 20s and thinking about investment. Tried watching YouTube videos. But I have pretty basic questions :
1. Where do I even start?
2. What %age of income should I invest?

I hope I'm not late.

Being virtual I'm finding I'm forgetting/ missing more meetings which is entirely unacceptable but at the same point I don't know why it's happening.

For those at life science boutiques, how do you think your training, project exposure, and PD resources compare to other firms at the more junior levels (anything below EM)?

I have given my managerial round last Friday, but i haven't received any email or call from HR. How long it will take? And HR notify us if we are not selected.

I’ve been looking to lateral and I’ve had multiple experiences where I get to the final round of interviews very quickly and everything seems to be going very well, then I just get ghosted (or the firm ghosts my recruiter). Is this happening to other people? Wondering if I’m doing something wrong…

Should I go for a BDR role with base salary of 65-75 plus commission or stick with my new account executive role at 57k base plus commission. Not sure what the commission structure is for the bdr role.

Anybody out here know of any “development programs” for mid career professionals looking to transition to sales? Have a data/analytics b/g., but I’m much more social than a “typical” data/analytics person. We have a program at my company that I’m networking to get into, but believe it’s prudent to diversify options, as there is obviously no guarantee that they select me for the program.

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!

Inflation costs are killing my pipeline. Many of my deals are scaling back greatly because of their rising operating costs.

How do we overcome the inflation objection? I mean obviously the answer is to show how much value we offer, but how do we do that when all of the companies we work with barely have enough funding?

They need our services, which is at least some job security, but their scale back is greatly affecting our projections and quota attainment.

Has anyone made the switch from manufacture sales to tech sales? If so, what steps did you take? I have been in sales for about 12 years now. Would love any advice.

Has anyone ended up working for a prospect?

I just had a conversation with a CEO at a startup I admire, and the topic turned to sales hires. My jaw dropped at the comp numbers and I also really love the product, their selling philosophy (buyer centric, empathetic ; less volume based), and I feel like the CEO is an extremely empathetic bit straight forward person.

I'm considering throwing my hat in the ring for consideration, at the same time I've got a sales motion going on - any tips?
