Pros

Great place if you're fresh out of college and new to the area.

Cons

Managers are young and don't know how to manage. Given "homework" and busy work which doesn't allow you to focus your time on what you should be doing, selling and booking meetings. Too much emphasis put on strict "times to call" and 100 dials.

Thanks for taking the time to post feedback here on Glassdoor. We appreciate and respect your right to disagree with some elements of our approach to sales effectiveness. What we do know is that our way works very well for us, our clients and the professional development of our team. Unfortunately, building and perfecting the sales craft is no easy task. Most professional salespeople will tell you becoming an expert seller is a lifelong journey full of what someone might term “homework” or vital training activities which allow a dedicated pro to improve. It’s fair to point out that “learning by doing” is effective (and we believe our staff here gets a ton of that), but learning from others who “have already done it” is equally as crucial. You need both sides of that coin to mint well-trained sales pros the way we do. We also absolutely agree that sales prospecting can and should go on throughout the day vs in a few small windows. However, we use those special sales call blitz times to create mutual buzz, energy and esprit de corps on our sales floor – and it works! We hope you continue to grow in your own professional sales development and our CoFounders’ doors are open if you ever wish to share more of your thoughts on the ways you think we can improve the business.

Pros

- Good Sales Training - Good Company Culture, Everyone wants to learn and help - Good Managers will be able to provide great coaching to help further grow your skills

Cons

- Your success is highly dependent on what client they give you. If they give you a hard client, do not expect to see those bonuses come in frequently. - Managers are also another luck of the draw. Started off with a great manager, who'd always be willing to help and coach. But then transitioned to another manager who was about my age, not very competent at coaching or advice since he had only been on an easy client for 6 months before being promoted, and would micromanage the team very hard. If you get a bad manager + a hard client, you will not have a good time at memoryBlue since they are already expecting you to work hard. - Pay and the bonuses are very low. Whether or not you'll see a raise is dependent on what client you get whether since it's based on hitting quota an X amount of times.
