Business Outlook

Pros

- In this role you deal with C-level decision makers a lot of insight into how businesses are run effectively, comparable to taking an MBA course - Earning potential: if you are great at your job you will be rewarded greatly; uncapped commission and good reward structure - Working in a growth company gives opportunities for growth

Cons

- Management in the SMB (small and medium business) division are 90% of the time former successful sales people of the same division. A good sales person does not always make a good manager and vice versa. In my opinion management often acted more as bottleneck and inhibitor to productivity rather than enabling better results.

Business Outlook

Pros

Strategic consultative sell enabling you to get great experience selling to the C suite. Encouraging culture, recognition lead, uncapped commission structure, unlimited earning potential. Great corporate incentives including WW 5* trips for you and your partner.

Cons

Uninspiring leadership at middle management. No creative thinking lower than the C suite. Not keen to take risks and have a awful habit of recruiting mediocre people.
