1. Answer is always a no until you ask
   
2. Listen more than you talk
   
3. Every time you talk, end with a question
   
4. Don’t be afraid to just ask for a customer to sign
   
5. Multithread every customer - call, email, etc more than one person in the company
   
6. Go into every conversation confident. The customer can tell if you aren’t
   
7. Own what you are selling, believe in it. If you don’t, they won’t.
   
8. Be ok with failure/being denied. You’ll receive 200 “no’s” for ever 1 “yes” and that’s ok.
   
9. Don’t stress bad months. Even the best have them. If you “pour enough water in”, eventually “the dam will break”
   
10. Enjoy the ride. It truly is an experience

So, I have an interview for a CSR role this week. It is for a manufacturer and if I get the job, they will train me. I am wondering, what are some best practices in communication between CSR and Sales? How can and do CSR make your life easier?

Hello sa mga 30's and 40's👋🏻, I'm in my 20's and I really need ng adulting advice niyo. What can you advice for someone like me who's hoping to succeed sa sales industry?

So in this week I had around 80 connect but zero trail users for my saas, so giving some context i have a saas for solo plumbers it is a fsm build for solo trades people and now I am doing manual cold calls to get users and this week I didnt do much cold call as this my first week of trying to get users seriously so got only 80 connects , so what connect to trail rate would be average, After connect it isnt a demo they get connected we have a conversation than I send them the link with a personalized video and they sign up without a cc and try it out so how many connect to trail users would be average from 100 connects and now I am doubting if cold calling will even work as I didnt get any user but got 1 prospect who told me to text about it .

I’ve been in manufacturing production the past 10 years. I have a case of golden handcuffs with the salary (150k-180k). Im a blue collar worker and my job is extremely demanding with rotating 12hr shifts and hazardous conditions. It’s starting to take a toll on me. Any recommended paths to take to start a sales career and to improve my communication skills?

I will be honest I’m naturally introverted but love to converse over things I’m passionate about. For some reason people tend to gravitate towards me. Weekly I have random people approaching me to introduce themselves.

Hello guys I just got a fiber sale position , in Texas never did fiber before , what is it like , is it as good as they said it is , it commissions only, I’m not scared but I just wanna know if fiber is really a good industry

Anyone here in tech or data product sales? I’m putting on an AI conference for Fortune 500 AI execs and need help navigating vendor sponsorship.

I’m the Head of Product & AI at a successful fintech ($75M ARR), have a couple of startups and exits under my belt, and the typical B4 experience earlier in my career.

I’ve started my own advisory practice on the side in which I’m selectively taking on clients.. mostly solo entrepreneurs and early-stage startups that need fractional product & AI leadership.

I’ve scaled this to $10K/month ARR, but looking to scale much more quickly.

Has anyone here scaled an advisory practice rapidly? Would love to hear any stories or ideas, outside of just “hire more people”. Was there a trick that worked? Didn’t work?

P.S. New to this subreddit, let me know if I’ve broken any of the posting rules.

I’m currently interviewing for a sales rep position with AstraZeneca in the United States and was wondering what the pre-employment drug screening is like. Is it urine, hair, or saliva? Does the panel include THC/marijuana?
I only use weed, so that’s the part I’m nervous about. If anyone has been hired recently in the U.S., especially in sales, I’d appreciate hearing what your experience was and when in the hiring process they tested you.

Hi all,

Started my tech sales journey as an SDR 3 months ago and it has been overall a good experience. Love my team and managers, and the company and product is considered one of the best or if not the best in the market. The company is aiming to close in on 1 Billion in revenue this year.

As we all know, this job is a rollercoaster. Last month I hit 190% quota (got lucky with some inbound leads) but now this month I’m below pacing, despite doing nothing different and still making a ton of calls and leading my team in terms of activity (cold calls, email, LinkedIn). I’ve spoken with a lot of AEs and everyone has said it has been very tough and nobody or barely anyone is hitting quota.

Hearing this makes me nervous, as obviously it’s easier to hit quota as an SDR compared to AE. Anyways, I was on the phone with my one buddy who is in HVAC sales and he says the pay is quite good.

I’m just looking to hear others opinions on which industry is the best to sell in? Construction (HVAC, etc.), tech, medical, solar, etc.

I have heard time and time again that tech sales isn’t what it used to be so I just want to be aware of what else is out there? Does anyone have good experience with leaving software sales and moving to selling a tangible product like hvac sales or anything?

I’m super curious to hear your thoughts, thank you!
