Advice for New Reps

Success/failure for field sales reps strongly correlated to market geography - West coast, East coast has 80+% of current customers in North America. Very difficult to sell in central region of USA where many companies have less sophisticated IT technology investments. Sales cycles are incredibly long for 'tactical' opportunities <$250K ACV often 15+ months. Leadership does not tell you this during interview process. 'Strategic' deals also very long but on par with competitors
