Good technos, but hard to be successful

Regional sales manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Autonomy, no micro management, best technos on the market

Cons

White space territory at start (in most cases, rule is: limited to no existing customers to start with). Takes ages to develop territory (channel recruitment, new logo penetration). Meaning: no real sales commissions the first years (1 to 2 years from start). Then the 3rd year pressure increases... Be prepared to that before considering a sales position. To consider as well: company is very technos oriented, no real marketing and communication towards market, which, in consequence, doesn't know that much the company (doesn't help to open doors!). It's an engineering company, not really a sales machine...
