Pros

Good Benefits Great Co-workers Protected Territory Great co-workers. Good support with sales ads

Cons

Very High pressure to meet unrealistic quotas. It seems like they are cleansing out long term reps to get younger college grads with internet savvy. If you don't reach your quotas you are gone! Yellowbook has lost it's caring heart for longer termed vets and is turning Ice cold toward them to hire younger reps as we move from the printed products to the overpriced not yet succesfull internet products. And the new hires will stay only around 6 months and leave because of the pressure. They are introducing lot of new unproven products ( flavor of the Month like direct mail, door hangers, chatterhub) and with high quotas and unrealistic expectations. New business is hard to find as they are constantly increasing prices. It used to be a great place to work but they are behind the times.

Pros

Incredible upside and earning potential! If you consider yourself a top performer, you will earn the money you deserve here.

Cons

It's a hard job. Lot's of rejection and grinding. Can be difficult and somewhat isolating being alone in a territory.

Pros

autonomy, product is seemingly good

Cons

Overall a terrible sales org, commission structure is nonsense and very low percent of reps are on the high tier, including reps that are top performers being on the mid or low tier commission. You are responsible for prospecting, closing, and account management so job gets harder the longer you are there. Force you into long meetings so the VP can show everyone Christopher Voss masterclass videos that are irrelevant. Sales contests where the reward is literally 5 dollars. Training is completely disconnected from how the job actually is, even down to the tech stack they teach you. Sales planning does nothing and does not provide any new leads or any sales tools that work. They do not even have a list of discovery questions to provide you. No one uses any of their provided tech stack you just have to figure out your own processes with no support. Very low base salary which they will lower if you get put on PIP. Extremely unstructured PIP program with no concrete numbers or explanation for how to get off of PIP. Extreme favoritism at the managerial level.
