I have worked in hospitality for 15+ years and mostly in sales positions. I have worked with every POS and SaaS system under the sun, and I have operated as the decision maker to bring these services on board. I am frequently the "expert" at locations I have worked, training new staff who are unfamiliar with the software.
I have noticed my attempts to enter SaaS sales positions are feeling more and more impossible as the days go on.
My jobs asked me to generate and qualify leads, find key decisions makers, close deals in B2B settings and onboard accounts. Then act as a CRM, maintaining accounts and their satisfaction with my company.
I can barely get a response when applying to new positions, even if the technology is hospitality related.
What is the difference that I am missing, is a professional that has used the systems IRL not the most qualified sales representative?
