Vantaggi

The sales floor is a fun place to be. You learn quickly how to multi task or be a part of 4 different conversations at once. Surrounded by all personality types. I don't know how I could go back to working in a boring office, I don't think I could. Lots of events and food around all the time. Unlimited motivation. And not the type where it's all about revenue goals either. Any win is celebrated, especially doing right by your client. The hours are great. If you come in early you can leave early. Even though your manager is right by you and checks in with you all day, you're not feeling micro managed.. Which sounds weird but it's true. The expectations are fair. And transparent. In my old sales roles I felt like my 1 on 1's consisted of both parties BS-ing their way through the conversation. They really care about your personal growth here. And will take you step by step to get there. If you're willing to put the work in. Also- the pay is amazing. If someone tells you otherwise it's because they aren't hitting attainable goals set and may not be cut out for sales.

Svantaggi

You have to be okay with being on the phone ALL day. It's fast pace and you are expected to manage a pretty big book of business. I would imagine this will get better with time, but I do feel like I get stuck with customer service issues that shouldn't be my responsibility to deal with. We need more support in that department. The turn around time for a simple customer service request is way too long. Online marketing and real estate in general are ever changing industries so combining the two it's to be expected...but dealing with the reactions of our clients every time our product changes or restructures in any way can be exhausting. But it comes with the territory and as long as you believe in the product, like I do, then you will find a way to keep things positive and remind your client you're here to help them grow their business.

Vantaggi

You can make good money here.

Svantaggi

In sales, job can change often. For example: I was making good money and excelling because I am a relationship Sales person. Then they changed it to where you get the sale, and instead of being able to grow that account via that relationship you just broke into, you have to pass it to an account manager and go back to cold/robo calling. You "book" of business you recive to prospect from is a lottery. I received a book of prospects/accounts that most of the were low income, or senior living properties. They don't have a budget and have a line of renter on a waitlist. No way to convince them to spend money on advertising but you still have the same quota.

Thank you for sharing such a detailed perspective. We understand that frequent changes to roles, account ownership and business priorities can have a real impact on relationship-building and the day-to-day experience in sales. We’re glad to hear compensation was a positive part of your time at Zillow, and we appreciate you being candid about where the model and structure felt frustrating. Feedback like yours helps us better understand how these changes are experienced across teams as the business evolves.
