Hello Savages,
I come to you today seeking advice and counsel.
My current employer is in the process of being acquired by a larger company. We are a large company in our own right, but getting eaten up by a bigger fish.
I've heard acquisitions are generally good for Sales teams. Although there are sure to be some shenanigans.
I am in an Enterprise AM role. Hitting 105% - 145% of my quota this year (coming off a 165% year last year), depending on a few upside deals I have outstanding for the year.
I've never been thru an acquisition before - Any advice or commentary from those of you that have?
Thanks in advance for your input.
EDIT: To add some context, my BU is the highest performing of the company being acquired, and we offer products that are mutually exclusive to those of the acquiring company. I'm also not particularly worried about losing my job / being forced out, more curious as to what kind of things you've seen happen / what to watch for.
