"never take no for an answer"
"create urgency"
"you have to make the most of the leads that are coming your way. The market is down, and you have to make sure you are closing every single lead".

OMG if i hear “create urgency” again or “create a compelling event”.. 🤯
Create urgency is 🐂 shit ...
Everyday: "Today is the best day to close deals" with forced smile and peppiness.
Um....dick...what day do you think I don't like money?
Chose linkedin answer b/c would literally be terrible at least I can silently ignore the rest as old school tough love 80s management. Posting everything on LI just means you have a manager that shouldn't be working outside of washing dishes and unpaid interns at that.

I would absolutely ignore that shit. LinkedIn is MY personal page spank u very much.
Right? My social profile or lack thereof is my business.
Yeah its the thought that EVERY objection is something that you can over come. "never take no for an answer" is a GREAT way to piss people off.
Probably the one I should have picked. The assumption that every deal is winnable...
well, maybe, but do you really want a BAD deal?

Every objection my ass…. Owner died. Overcome that shit
"Just close more deals" might be the most non-advice statement ever, but I swear some managers legitimately think this helps their reps
The “just” is just insulting
Right, like thank you genius 🙄
I have been at plan and been let go before. It shocked me cause I have always been told "be at quota and your job is safe".
I'm good at sales, but suck at officepolitics.

Nothing is safe
Boss’s boss once told me “offer them a discount so they’ll buy today.“
I’m like “we’re coordinating with 29 other divisions on a building that isn’t built yet. It’s a more complicated sale than that.”

and what was their response?
He let it go. He came from ADT residential, so he wasn’t used to the commercial space. He also tended to only care about numbers.
Any talk about needing to hit quota to have job safety, will cause me to start looking. Even when I am above quota, I HATE the idea of threatening someone's livelihood so a managers team number looks good.
Fear usually has 2X impact of positive reinforcement or motivation. Blame our mammalian brains for it.
Lie to them.
Urgency, terms, features, really anything...

"Go find deals" "Create urgency" "Discount to bring in revenue"
IMO if you're discounting heavily, your company either priced the product too high (meaning they don't understand the market) or you don't think your product is good (which brings a litany of other issues, to which I say find something you do believe in)

I hate the fear tactics.

"Working in SaaS sales is fun because you get to make your own hours!"
Never take "no"... My worst. Sometimes it just doesn't make sense, it's a crap lead, forced call etc.
It's like trying to sell a peleton in 2022

Focus on finding the solution - no doubt that it is a golden advice BUT whatif you have no control
Heck ya... But not in my control ... What will happen even if I find a solution for you... The other managers needs to sort out the issues...
I am in staffing sales and our challenge is our so called robust Recruitment team
