Svantaggi

The Company: This is a high turnover company. Account Executives are constantly in and out with no way to move internally. In the last year I have seen 6 very skilled sales people leave due to high quotas, poor leadership, and not being able to move up in the org. Every team from time to time will have a "plus one" on their team. This person is there to help the team while another person is put on plan for not hitting their quota. While this is set up to be a learning role it ends up being a reminder that someone is there to take your spot at anytime. Account Executives did make a lot of money when quotas were attainable, but with the Microsoft Acquisition quotas went up and more people were hired. This created less opportunity for everyone and it doesn't look to be slowing down. The Role: This role is a Sales Development role primarily. You will spend most of your day prospecting out of an excel doc. The sales process is easy. The tools sell themselves and you just need to find the people who can afford this solution. Leadership: There is a a lot of time put in to learning and developing. If you are lucky to have a manager who has been here a while you will get a great learning experience. If you have a new manager this is going to be much harder. Most of the people who have left have had new managers who weren't properly trained to develop people or work with them. The Right Fit: Currently in Sales Development or SMB sales and killing it. You are used to a high quota and a transactional sale. Maybe you have some customer service experience as well. This will come in handy as you do need to hand hold clients and get them using the products correctly. You are not looking to move up while at the company and know going in that you will have the same role for as long as you are here. Expect to make 80K/ year all in

Vantaggi

-Control your schedule -Office environment is great -Teammates are nice and helpful

Svantaggi

-Customer Success metrics lack clear ownership and actionable levers. Many CSMs do not have direct control over the outcomes they are measured against, and success narratives are often based on isolated or non-replicable examples rather than scalable processes. -Microsoft’s increased influence over LinkedIn has led to tighter promotion structures and more limited compensation growth pathways. -Product value within the LTS portfolio is inconsistent. LinkedIn Learning struggles with perceived differentiation and impact, while Recruiter’s market position relies heavily on legacy dominance rather than clear ongoing innovation or customer value expansion. -Metric design and performance management frameworks were created without a strong operational understanding of the CSM role, resulting in accountability for outcomes that CSMs cannot directly influence. -While many CSMs share these concerns, there is limited upward feedback or structured challenge to leadership regarding metric design and role effectiveness, which limits opportunities for meaningful reform. They prefer to lick the boots of senior leaders rather than tell AV and his team how they actually feel and see progress to better, more impactful metrics. For individuals who are comfortable with high call volumes (10+ customer interactions per week) and performance metrics that are influenced significantly by external factors rather than direct role ownership, LinkedIn LTS Customer Success can be a suitable environment.
