LoopNet reviews about "people"

Work is not as altruistic as previous jobs. Be prepared to get bored. People are lifeless and barely laugh. Lots of time by myself.

Management is hit or miss, high pressure sales job, inside sales is not for everyone

It is a growing division and feels like a start up company. With that are some learning curves and growing pains.

Cash Money: Honestly there are other companies that you can work at if you want to get into sales where you can make so much more. I went from making 50K to six figures once I left, things might be different now since Costar bought them (Who we used to throw under the bus in our sales calls) but in my time it wasn't much. Trying to live of 50k in San Francisco today if your just moving here straight out of college - forget it.

awful leadership, change goals often, no explanations, given double quotas, micromanaging, track your every move, things are black or white, no job security in sales, they will put you on a pip for any of the dozen metrics you dont hit, not great product, bad reputation among clients

got bought out by costar and too many changes, got micromanaged.

Limited career growth opportunities. CoStar acquisition ripped the culture out of LoopNet and it reflects throughout the company.

-Low commission structure -You are the typical 'telemarketer' reaching out to people who fill out online lead forms. Those are not 'warm' leads, there simply giving there name number and email address to get free access to the website. then you call and harass them to pay for a premium membership so they can see more properties and get more exposure. Same pitch, every day. Redundant, tedious, hard-pressurized selling tactics -System is built for high turnover, that tells you something right there -Micro managing 'regional managers', whose only job is to 'help' you hit your target. AKA breathe down your back and ask you whats going on, meanwhile bringing no value to the table. -LOTS of cold calling. 80+ a day. (very respectable when applying for future sales positions) Despite all the cons, I learned a lot of great basic selling skills, gained phone presence and confidence, and I was able to land a legit sales job because of what I learned at LoopNet. make the most of it while you're there, stay a year to put on your resume and get out.

Didn’t find anything negative here
