Do your research before saying yes to an offer. Are you a true believer in what InfoTrack offers?
Pros
-Everyone very helpful and friendly to new starters -They own luxury yachts and take you on harbour cruises -Competitive and necessary product for market -Recruitment process very flattering, they do a lot of work selling you on how great the culture is (this is something to think carefully about) -If you're young and want to make your mark in a sales job this could be a good starting point -Sales team has a positive collaborative vibe, some people have been there for years which is a good sign -Lot of internal promotion and movement -Management approachable from CEO down -The right person can potentially earn good money here -People who work there are mostly true believers in the company -There target market are primarily accountants, lawyers & conveyancers so there is a large market of people to sell to
Cons
-Low base -Trailing commission structure so you have to commit to working there for 12 months realistically to know if the comms are any good and other people in sales team point blank refuse to discuss their comms with you so you can't get an idea of what is realistic. It's very transactional but you may be earning very little comms for a number of months when starting. I was only there for a short period of time so can't really say, just my observation. -Very young team, for some I believe this was their first full time job -Product is very dry, you are selling searches for everything from property titles to police checks to bankruptcy reports targeted at legal firms & accountants. -Got approached by Infotrack via LinkedIn at a time when I was getting itchy feet at my then employer. The recruitment process with Infotrack felt like they were selling themselves to me rather than me to them. It was all culture, opportunity, culture. A few questions about my background and the rest was them telling me stories about the sales team going on harbour cruises on their yachts and how many people are promoted internally. It sounded like a great opportunity at first but in hindsight I think I made a rash decision accepting the offer as after starting I quickly became bored with the product and felt I was working for below my market value and had ongoing concerns about commissions which were never fully alleviated in my mind. -It's a good company with a necessary product for the market they sell to but it ultimately wasn't the right fit for me and I am now in a sales role at a company where I connect with the product and earn more
