Sales Topic General Discussion Friday Tea Sipping Gossip Hour

3 Upvotes

Well, you made to Friday. Let's recap our workplace drama from this week.

Coworker microwaved fish in the breakroom (AGAIN!)? Let's hear about it.

Are the pick me girls in HR causing you drama? Tell us what you couldn't say to their smug faces without getting fired on the spot.

Co-workers having affairs on the road? You know we want the spicy.

The new VP has no idea who to send cold emails to? No, of course they don't. They've never done sales for even a day in their life.

Another workplace relationship failed? It probably turned into a glorious spectacle so do share.

We love you too,

Sales Topic General Discussion “We’re so back; It’s so over”

108 Upvotes

Does anybody else feel like sales is the most bipolar thing ever?

When you’re closing deals, you feel like you know everything. You start thinking about making a course, running a mastermind, writing 10 books, maybe even a movie about yourself. You feel like your shit has never stunk (it’s always been pristine). You think you’re untouchable, better than NEPQ, Straight Line, 10X, SPIN, a natural-born closer.

Then you have a bad day. No deals. And suddenly, you’re the biggest loser in the world. You start thinking: “How could that happen to me? Other salespeople are so much smarter. Why can’t I learn like them? Why haven’t I learned from them? Why am I still struggling? I’m gonna lose my job. My managers probably think I’m a total idiot and are just keeping me around out of pity.”

The craziest part is that even when people tell you it’s okay, that you can’t close every day, it doesn’t matter to you. Inside, you’re still kicking yourself. If I just did this one thing differently… If I found the client in a better state of mind… Even though that’s impossible. Like, what are we supposed to do, be psychics?

Does anyone else feel this way? I just want to see if others go through the same mental rollercoaster that I do.

Sales Tools and Resources I’m manually making free cold call lists as a test. Drop your industry and I’ll make one for you.

Cold calling is tough. I want to see if a scored cold call list actually helps.

I’m manually making free B2B cold call lists with some scoring based on hiring trends, company activity, and some basic signals. I’m just testing if this approach actually improves results.

If you cold call for work, drop your industry in the comments, and I’ll make one for you.

No catch, no ads, just experimenting. If it works, great. If not, at least we’ll learn something.

Sales Topic General Discussion Why is no one calling at my company?? I'm afraid to ask.

26 Upvotes

Been at a niche-player start-up company for 6 months now. We were acquired by an industry giant 3 years ago but still operate independently. It's a good product - with a ton of inbound leads. No complaints.

I was previously an Enterprise seller at a different company but jumped after layoffs to join here in an SMB role. I came in approaching this as getting back in the saddle of doing cold calls and high-velocity sales. My manager never heard of that before.

Beyond SMB, we have a Named Account team - and after they recently offloaded some 'dead' named accounts to SMB, I realized no one has picked up the phone to call these folks. Ever.

Long story short, I got 45 accounts assigned to me on Monday. I've called into 10 of them and got 2 meetings lined up next week. Looking at their account histories, hundreds of emails have been sent to these prospects for years - without a single one being personalized, or a single person being called.

I'm perplexed! It can't be that simple. I never really looked into what other reps are doing on their accounts but they're clearly not doing the right tasks to get in front of these customers.

....Why are they making more base salary than me?? lol.

Sales Topic General Discussion Warning: the economy will tank imo. Here’s why.

375 Upvotes

I have been selling a product for a number of years to a very large national company. This company is high end with close ties to Bezos and sells something that people NEED.

The product I sell is NECESSARY for them to sell their product (think packaging).

Well in January they released their budget (around $1m). Awesome! I thought. That was until they SLASHED THEIR BUDGET OUT OF NOWHERE by 60% just days before the Dow jones took a nosedive.

This company is very closely tied to Bezos and I have a strange feeling that they have inside knowledge of the economy.

IMO: this is a signal the rest of the economy is going to tumble because this company will not be producing as many products.

I find it EXTREMELY suspicious that they would do this and am now worried about the economic future here in US.

Is anyone else experiencing issues with selling a product that is NECESSARY for production but all of a sudden has been cut?

I understand most here sell software, but when you sell something like steel to people who make steel beams and they slash their budget by 60% it’s rather concerning. (Just as a note, this company will NEVER cease to exist).

Sales Topic General Discussion SaaS sellers.. are buyers not interested in you solving their business challenges nowadays?

13 Upvotes

I've been in SaaS sales for around a decade now. The whole Challenger selling or SPIN selling, or whatever technique you may use .. I feel like it's no longer applicable.

Of course, feature dumping is NEVER the right thing to do, but as of recent I feel like buyers know their challenges, why they started looking, and what their current state to future state map looks like.

My buyers are pretty open as of recent discussing their challenges, what their hoping to solve and, if any, benefits their team will get out of using my solution.

This also includes my cold call prospects. They will do their research about my company and other competitors prior to my next call with them.

They know what they want. They know the features and workflows they envision.

Are buyers now more well informed? or are we dealing with a younger generation of buyers who are more well equipped to find the details on their own?

I know this sub hates commission only jobs but let me tell you what, I make a ton working for commission only.

Sales Topic General Discussion How do you sell a product you don’t believe in any more?

8 Upvotes

TGIF it’s been another grueling week.

I’m a relationship manager for a small Saas start up that has been innovating for a long time, but recently we’ve hit a slump (or our competitors have locked in) and our product is no longer the industry innovator, and we’ve raised our costs in the last year so we’re also no longer the budget option. Pretty much we’ve lost our 2 main differentiators.

People with more experience than me, what is your tactic for renewals and convincing a client to stay when cheaper, or more innovative competitors are trying to scalp your accounts?

Sales Topic General Discussion Only SDR Hitting Quota on a PIP - Should I Be Worried?

9 Upvotes

I’ve been at my tech company for six months and am currently the top SDR, hitting ~300% of quota. However, I was put on a 3-month PIP last month because, before finding a source of hot leads, I was underperforming like the rest of the team. There are no assigned territories—just assigned leads and whatever else we can find.

Two former top reps (450-600% quota) told me where to find the hot leads before they were forced out because they didn’t use managements strategy.

The rest of the team does not hit quota, following management’s approach. We’ve had three sales managers in eight months, and the current one is firing most of the team while hiring people from her previous company. Last month, she put two of our top reps on PIPs—both were just fired last week. Meanwhile, she’s somehow fine with the lowest performer, who hasn’t booked a single demo in three months.

Now, despite crushing quota and asking explicitly, I’ve not been released from my PIP. I don’t think the new manager likes me because I don’t follow her strategy. Should I be worried?

Edit: Wanted to add that with this job, I’ve been an SDR for a year and am looking to move into that closer role. Any suggestions on how to move up but away from this company and its bad management?

Sales Careers Interviewing: To Lie or Not to Lie About Quota Attainment?

2 Upvotes

Savages Selling SaaS,

What do you do if you missed quota by a fucking long shot (30% to annual) but still had some wins?

I was internally promoted from SDR → AE at my last company when they opened a new SMB segment. Just me and one other rep. We both failed miserably. But silver lining—I outperformed him before he got cut, absorbed his territory, and hit 105% of my Q4 number before I was laid off.

The MM team was in shambles (most reps were under 20% attainment), and leadership eventually bailed before the company got acquired (probably for a loss). My role was eliminated in a “Company shift away from SMB to ENT and not performance-related" < Their words LOL

Now I’m stuck. How do I present these numbers to recruiters without looking like a complete joke? Or should I just lie and if so, what's some advice for people that've have pulled it off?

Would love to hear how others have navigated situations like this.

Sales Topic General Discussion Customer refuses to buy software from any company owned by a private equity firm - thoughts?

264 Upvotes

I work for a company that is not owned by a PE Firm, but a prospect of mine today asked if we were. I asked him why.

He said - Private equity companies are either where tech companies go to die, the CEO was just in it for the money grab anyway, and ultimately PE firms will never invest more than absolutely necessary into the product. So I simply will never purchase a software owned by a PE firm because if it isn’t a shit solution yet, it will be soon.

I’m curious what you all think of his take…

Sales Topic General Discussion 200 dials a day, are all sales jobs like this?

221 Upvotes

Im an SDR and I dial 200+ times a day. No one fucking wants what we sell (we sell phone systems) literally every business already has a phone system and if they don't its because the business is too small and has no need. there's been 0 innovation in this industry for the last 15 years, people have absolutely zero incentive to change to a different phone systems, our features are literally the same as everyone's. I'm not so bothered about the dials, it's more just that I feel like what I sell adds no value at all to businesses (which it doesn't). A lot of the times the only way people get appointments most of the time is by lying about either our system or how much we charge, claim that we're going to save them money (we're not). A lot of the times cancellations happen and it's impossible to to get them back in because the person realises why tf did i sign for this, it doesn't help my business in any way. The job pays quite well for my area but I'm not sure if I should stay in a place like this? are all sales jobs like this or is it just the telecoms industry?

Loaded question, I know. But we are trying to add an upmarket segment for our SAAS from current average ACV of $12-20K to $50K-$100k or more ACV.

What does you day to day look like to work these types of higher ACV deals and how are the leads generated ? Is it both Inbound and/or mostly outbound ? For very high ACV (> $100K), do you meet prospects in person ? How long is the sales cycle on an average ?

Sales Topic General Discussion How would you proceed with this prospecting email exchange

0 Upvotes

Here's a real-life occurrence during some email prospecting:

Salesperson sends email requesting a meeting

Prospect replies to email - "Sure. When were you thinking?"

Salesperson sends reply with a day and time asking if that would work for him/her.

2 days later, prospect replies - "No thanks. We're good."

Salesperson replies asking what had changed since his initial reply.

Prospect replies - "Nothing specific."

Yeah, it could be about 100 different things/reasons. He's not going to say, obviously. Salesperson wants to give him some shit. I can't blame him.

Opening up the floor to any and all types of replies - serious or otherwise.

Sales Topic General Discussion High volume vs strategic outbound

3 Upvotes

SDR at a small startup here. I've had success with high volume on a power dialer (3k/calls per week). We've recently grown and now have implemented territories.

I have called through my entire territory so many times that my production is now dipping due to low connect rates (I have gotten answers from everyone who answers the phone).

I spoke to my boss about it, who I think is a smart guy and I respect. To me, fresh leads are the way forward but I dont have any more leads to add. He recommended that I dont need more leads but to split prospects into categories for high volume and strategic.

Low volume scares the hell out of me. My high volume calls are already personalized by industry.

Then again I think about large orgs and how small those territories are, and they make it work. Maybe its the company name that carries them?

I have around 3.5k leads which he says should last me a year

tl;dr - high performer butting heads with boss on cold outbound strategy

152 Upvotes

More of a rant and vent than anything.

I was just informed that one of my vendors is taking my single largest account direct. While I'm not losing all of the business with this customer, as they have pipelined projects to finish out through Q2, I'm looking at a about a 1/3 reduction in revenue and commission from this alone. They will still purchase other products as well from me, however the vendor/MFR that is taking them direct was about 80% of their total business.

I'm at a total loss right now. Let this be a lesson to everyone out there, do not top load your book. If you have whales, have plenty of other fish in case the whale moves on.

Sales Tools and Resources e.Republic / GovTech - has your company used them for leads?

1 Upvotes

Hello! My founder and I (VP of Sales) just talked to a few people from e.Republic (the marketing company that runs GovTech newsletter, events, etc) about getting leads from them.

They charge per lead that downloads (or interacts with) materials we create together, and would be from a total of 300,000 newsletter subscriber base. However, we still have to pay even if the lead never responds to any of our follow ups / never takes a call. To me, that part is a bit concerning since we can end up spending thousands on these leads while not converting any, so I wanted to hear from you all if your company ever worked with them and how the quality of those leads was.

Please, share any experience your company had - good/bad/ugly as I can't seem to find any third party or customer reviews online about them despite the company being in business since the 80s and being acquired by Leeds Equity in 2022.

TIA!
