if you have a company compensating you reasonable well to sell sub-par shit, can you do it? do you stay? do you have your eye on the door the whole time?

“There is no such thing as a product” - Robert California 😄
🤣 Musings from Robert California needs to be a whole thread! Genius.
I can’t sell anything I personally don’t believe in. I know that from experience.
yeah trying to sell something to someone that you know kinda sucks, is not fun or rewarding haha
Sure. I can sell anything. Now would I want to? Prolly not.
Can I? Probably. Would I? No. I'd be out the door.
selling porta potties. shit product.
Totally essential though.
Also made me lol.

Can the poor quality be covered up and managed? If so, yes. If not, bye.
It can be to an extent. My problem is more aptly described as a lack of options to give clients, there is some good quality, but most of it is mediocre.
I wouldn't want to tarnish my reputation
I could sell it but I would be looking for a way out the entire time. Have sold stuff before that I didn't stand behind and it just made me feel dirty after each yes.
I can sell anything, I will only sell things that are good and beneficial to people
If I don’t believe in it myself, I will never be able to even if the compensation is reasonable
You shouldn't.
Not only will the sales cycle become extremely annoying, you would not even get the adrenaline anymore. You'd only have guilt and worry because you know you sold a wrong product.

I’ve been having panic attacks for the first time in like 10 years. Chest pain, sleeping poorly, etc. (It’s not my heart don’t worry haha)
Why sell something shitty?!
Did it get shitty? Did you just realize it's shitty? If you just realized, hopefully you haven't been there long and can leave..

We represent different brands. Lost a couple good ones. Some others on chopping block. Came here hoping it would get better than when I arrived and it’s only gotten worse
as much as it's sucked having to sell what i sell now..because our churn rate is outrageous and there are minimal differentiators from our competitors...it's taught me how to sell differently. Lee Salz's book Sales Differentiation was a game changer for me. he says "when your product doesn't differentiate itself, how you sell has to." (not exact quote but you get it)
So: sucks to sell a crappy product, but i think everyone should sell some crap to pick up some additional skills.

DUDE wipes sell a shitty product... rather it is intended to be shitty.
Ive done it, and it sucks. ive actually done it twice unfortunately and both times....its just been terrible.
For me, the product has to be good. it doesnt have to be THE best but it HAS to have a major differentiator. or else everything just kinda blows.

I’ve done it before and will not do it again. Why make it harder for yourself when there are good products to sell out there?
I'm sure some people would buy it but they would churn and you'd never displace your competitors. Worked for a company that was just copying the industry leader but being sub-par and no matter how many SQLs I brought in - they never closed... Someone told me great salespeople also need great products because they wouldn't want to sell bad products to their customers.
does the aforementioned shitty product still solve peoples problems? if yes then ya i can sell that. if no then hell no
Well. It’s a light and it makes light. So yeah haha
hahaha well there ya go
This can def hurt your credibility as a seller. SV is small, you’ll likely sell to the same folks again at some point
Can I? Yes. Would I? No.
