Hi,
Spencer from Zillow here.
Thank you for your review, though it definitely bummed me out, and I don't think it is representative of the experience that most salespeople have at Zillow.
I asked our head of sales to comment on your review, and here's what he wrote:
We simply don’t let people go when they are beating target by 156% and we don’t put folks on a performance plan for missing their target by $2K one month.
Deals don’t get stolen from reps – If there’s a disagreement about the ownership of a deal, management looks closely at the history to determine who earned the deal.
While it’s not an easy job and some reps do not succeed, some of our top selling reps this year actually started in 2013 so many newer reps have mastered the formula for success.
He sent me a lot more detail, including data to refute some of your points, but since I know that competitors read these comments I decided not to include all of the specifics about how we operate our sales teams and what metrics we focus on. Let them have to figure out at least SOME stuff for themselves.
Anyway, I'm sorry that Zillow wasn't for you, and I wish you a lot of success and hope that you find a position elsewhere that is a better fit for you.
