I have 15 years of experience in sales management and strong customer service experience in both phone-based and face-to-face environments. I have been actively seeking new opportunities for over a year, but I am finding it challenging to understand why applications are not progressing past the initial stage. I would appreciate insight into what employers are prioritizing today, as I am eager to improve my approach and better align with what organizations are looking for sales professionals.
How does your PIP process work? Been told by a few people on here and IRL that our PIP is quite aggressive. So i've been the top performer here for a year. Highest win rate in the team (40%). Had a really bad Q2 out of nowhere (inbound leads completely dried up too which hasn't helped at all), will finish on probs 40%. My activity is usually the highest for outreach. I'm going on PIP in July. Is this normal? Some people have told me 2 Qs in a row then PIP, but 1 bad Q is very harsh.
I once had a prospect tell me after losing the deal that my discovery was great but I had started pitching too early and lost the thread of what they actually cared about, and that single piece of feedback changed how I run every call to this day. What is the most useful thing a prospect or customer has ever told you that made you genuinely better at the job?
I was laid off this morning because of corporate restructuring. If I immediately start working for a competing business in the same city, can I get in trouble? I need to pay my bills, and they let me go, so I feel like I should be able to work wherever I can find a job. I don't remember signing an NDA or non-compete, but I want to make sure I won't face other legal issues. Can I get sued for taking a job with a direct competitor?
