How you doin suga pushers?
So, previously I spoke about my experience as an SDR in Israeli company and how I had to grind to become AE blah blah blah...
Let me continue.
Once I've got promoted to an AE some things changed immediately and some things stayed kinda the same.
Before starting as an AE you had to go through another 2 weeks of trainings, once you finish that, you are able to start working immediately. Your seat is prepared, everything is set up on your computer, you know the pass and you know exactly what to do.
I remember very clear first time when I walk into the room of AE's. It was 20 Israelis and few jewish Americans. Again, everybody was shouting and music was blasting. Manager comes to meet me (very tense guy, used a lot of coke) and starts shouting why am I standing - here's your seat get to work. It just kicks in and I immediately blend in, just started dialing to my assigned portfolio.
25 of us were closing around 6 million USD MMR every month out of the B2C clients. Some guys were making 50k USD per month. I was doing alright too.
Obviously, at the beginning I was very happy because I was making good money and we had much other "benefits" like:
- Every weekend Friday and Saturday there's a fancy night club that you come in, tell which company you are from and there's a VIP table with everything included.
- Each of us had assistants that use to bring alcoholic cocktails while you are working.
- Once the Cyprus security and exchange commission used to come to check the office and how everyone works - AE's room used to be empty, we were all on the yacht that day. (Teambuilding)
Anyway, that's the story in short. Let me know if you had any similar experiences while being an AE and if you want to here more Cyprus stories. (cuz I have a few more)
