-In order to be successful & make any money on the front end you have to be committed to putting in an enormous amount of time & effort - people have admitted to working 60-70 hours a week
- after the sale, A Lot manages to fall through during implementation - to where the sales rep has to spend time going back out, helping set up & in some cases “re-selling”
- lots of unrealistic expectations.. company focuses on the numbers game, rather than actual quality of the sale. They’d rather you get 10 new customers for 100 than 1 customer for 1k
-Tons & tons of internal meetings/internal phone calls/trainings, etc - interfiers with your time to actually go out and “sell”
-complete “hunter” role. Not a relationship type sale, very transactional. The only time you talk to your customer again is when it’s time to upsell for renewal or deal with an issue. Makes it difficult because customers don’t really know you.
- lots of competition in the digital world, almost everyone sells it now.. can make it challenging to sell.
- although some markets may be different, some are extremely micromanaged — have to let your manager know when something is sold, your Team, your region, salesforce.. then have multiple meetings throughout the week about your sales.
No work life balance If you actually want to make money.
