Is Salesloft going to get me fired?

long story short my AE and I usually do our meetings with prospects on Google meets. for some reason a prospect wanted to do it on zoom so we obliged not thinking anything of it.

anyway we do the meeting, went ok, and the prospect left the meeting leaving myself and the AE.

we started chatting shit not realising that Salesloft was recording the whole thing. at first it was innocent stuff like "will smith is a member of Scientology and him slapping chris rock was some occult thing" etc etc. then long story short we started doing impressions of the senior enterprise AE, and the Sales Director (my boss). it was pretty funny but the snake impressions might have gone a bit too far (literally hissing at each other on zoom)

anyway the issue is we clocked at the end that it was being recorded and would be uploaded to Salesloft.

I have two questions:

1. how fucked am I? (if fucked please help give me ideas to wriggle out of it like the snake sdr I am)

2. has this ever happened to you before?

prognosis?

The snake impressions took me out. If you get fired it’s worth it.

ahhh this is such an insane story hahah! How did you forget it was being recorded??

But you are probably fine. i doubt anyone will listen to the WHOLE call......unless salesloft like tags the boss because he was being mentioned or something (i clearly dont know how salesloft works)

I didn’t know! We usually do meets on Google meet which isn’t recorded

This was the first time we did a zoom meeting

Nearly choked on my coffee with those snake impressions, holy hell. For what it's worth, I wouldn't worry too much.

I've been there before, nobody ever mentioned it. The odds of someone listening through that specific call is pretty damn low IMO. Worst comes to worst, you got a hell of a story

Sr Director, sales and partnerships

You assume that management actually reads the notes, which they don’t. They just want you to put shit in there so they know you are working/checking in on accounts instead of just day drinking.

LOL, not sure but definitely would like to see updates. I saw a recording once where this lady was hitting a blunt and her friend told her the meeting was being recorded - her reaction was priceless!

Also is there a way to delete the recording? Our strategy so far is to basically do all the future meetings on zoom in order to bury the recording… but it will always be there 😭

Don’t worry about it. If your SD listens to that exact part, of that exact call, yeah you’re a little fucked. Tbh you probs won’t get fired, just a slap on the wrist, so no biggie anyway.

Otherwise, you’re Gucci. So why worry about it?

You’re likely fine. No one is going to take the time to go listen and you can always grease someone from sales ops to delete the recording…

One of the problems with working for a startup is that the sales enablement director IS sales ops as well 😔

Lmaooo I got fired today. Not because of the Salesloft vid-but because I literally failed a vibe check by the VP Sales

(My numbers were best in the team, but apparently “I didn’t seem to enjoy working there” lmao no shit ever since you fired my bro I’ve been interviewing at other places)

Yeah-tbh though I’ve fallen upwards. Landed another SDR (inbound) gig with literally more than twice the comp (if you include the 40k equity)
Company is a market leader instead of a shitty startup so looking forward to actually hitting commission haha

Won’t say the company but it is the same league as salesforce, zoominfo, Salesloft etc

Director Sales and Market Development

As soon as the prospect call was over, if, huge if, a manager was listening, they would hang up by then. Unless they have a keyword tagged as Snake Sound or their name, then you dont want to work for them anyways. youre cool.

They are not going to listen that long.

"The snake impressions might have gone too far" hahaha

Is your Sales Director a huge micro-manager? You'd know if he's the kind of person who would go back and listen/watch your calls (my manager mentions a few times he does this w/ gong).

Don't draw any attention to the deal, the meeting, and pray it gets buried in a mound of other recorded calls.

Problem is hes almost bipolar. One moment he’s fun uncle then he’s angry dad. Very disorienting.

I don’t think he’d go through the call for my benefit-but I think he might do for my AE as we’re both relatively new to our respective roles

Getting fired for horrible impressions....that's probably legit.

At least make a TikTok. Closers don't BS on Zoom, they do it on TikTok.

That was my immediate thought-but I haven’t been fired and the hr lady told me I’m safe

Turns out my boy got PIPedd, SED bastard 🐍 put him on one last month with ridiculous targets-classic case.

Another AE quit in solidarity as well, HR lady winked at me and said that they’d rather promote internally and said I should ask for a promotion to AE but thinking I might be just putting myself more in the firing line. Will probably write up an update post tomorrow to ask you fellow savages for advice but yeah that’s the score so far

Yeah it’s bad enough recording without the prospects knowledge or consent-it’s super creepy when even the sales team don’t know it’s being recorded 😂

Having said that my memory is like a goldfish-so I do find it helpful to listen back to call recordings… even if it is a bit unethical

Head of Sales

At my previous job, the CEO once called a customer. Reached voicemail, so he hung up - or so he thought. Because the phone was on speaker, it did not actually end the call.

He and another employee started talking shit about the customer for about 15 minutes. Leaving a very detailed message about why she sucked and was the worst person ever.

He ended up calling her with a long apology, I don't think they renewed that year haha.

Long story short don't worry about it too much even CEOs make that mistake.
