I have just started a new role with a Tier 1 company and within the first month we have a National Sales Conference in Melbourne and we need to all stay in twin share accommodation, even if we live local - I live 10 km's from the hotel. I am advised its compulsory to stay in the booked accommodation and I will be sharing with someone they allocate someone I have never met. Surely this cannot be acceptable?
I once had a prospect tell me after losing the deal that my discovery was great but I had started pitching too early and lost the thread of what they actually cared about, and that single piece of feedback changed how I run every call to this day. What is the most useful thing a prospect or customer has ever told you that made you genuinely better at the job?
Does working in sales make you feel like you're losing your edge? I’ve been working in sales for 5 years, since graduating from college, and feel like I'm less intelligent than before I started school. Because it’s all soft skills, I don't feel intellectually challenged, and I’m getting so forgetful. I have friends in other careers who are fully engaged all day, while I'm using 10% of my brainpower. Am I alone?
I've been in sales since graduating from college 3 years ago, and I've been fully remote the entire time. I don't live near any coworkers or an office, so it's just me at home all day. I know everyone loves to hype up WFH, but the loneliness is really starting to get to me. Are there others here who live alone and work remotely? How do you handle the lack of human interaction while still staying on top of your quota?
Thanks for posting. Happy to help provide insight here. At Glassdoor, we strive to ensure the highest level of data integrity. Since we're unable to fully verify the identity of an anonymous user, we require each user to certify their employee relationship to the company when they post any content. We require email verification from a permanent, active email address or a valid social networking account for each user submitting content. This verification process allows us to put measures in place to identify suspicious users and/or posts. Additionally, before any content appears on Glassdoor, it is evaluated to determine if it meets our Community Guidelines. If the content does not meet the guidelines, appears suspicious, or we have sufficient reason to believe it is unauthentic, it will not get posted on Glassdoor. We also rely on our members to help keep the integrity of our site. If a member sees content they believe violates our community guidelines, they can flag it for additional review by our moderators.
That prompted me to go to my company on glassdoor last night. There was one obviously not meant for my company (based on the comments and location give ) and 1 particularly nasty one from an anonymous current but very disgruntled employee.
However, I think they rely on people reporting inappropriate reviews.
I'm not really sure they can ever really know for sure, which is frustrating.
This is a good question but it's both employees and people who have worked
Impossible unless you make former employees send you old W-2’s before they leave a review.
My old company has some (deservingly) scathing reviews up. I saw something earlier where a lot of companies were reaching out to Glassdoor to take down bad reviews....I have mixed feelings about this
