Would this excite you?

Workshopping a referral program.  I think it's very appealing, but what I think doesn't matter.

If you were a consultant, CPA, whatever and had relationships with businesses who invest in sales training, would something like this excite you?

Cool. Well let’s talk partner program. Is there an existing referral program or is this the first attempt?

It’s the first attempt. The payout is why I feel this could work. Someone with enough contacts could double their yearly salary with a few referrals that sign.

I built and launched a referral program from the ground up. It worked because the bar for financial gain was lower than closed business. Submissions (insurance) got them $X and closed policies got them $Y.

It’s direct and to the point. So you’re just hunting for those with a need and an application.
It’s salesy, but I think that’s the point.

I have seen something similar a couple of times before. Helps on really fragmented and local markets. Once you get beyond that, it is loses all of its value.

If there are local opportunities, then it becomes easier to make the value chain work. Once you start competing on a national scale, you have other market forces and the benefits don’t scale since LinkedIn and other platforms can be used for intros and getting info on people and products in market. Does that make sense?

It just strikes me a a slightly dated presentation. The photo roll of stock images I think it why it hits me that way.

Ah. They aren’t stock images, they’re screenshots from our training videos. That’s why I wasn’t following.

Tough to make actual photos not look like stock images 🤷🏻‍♂️.

I sold executive training for 7 years - it's not as easy as you might think:

- There's almost unlimited competition (everyone and anyone these days is a trainer, lecturer, etc.)

-Decision-makers within companies vary from the HR department to the learning and development department, to hiring managers, and line managers. The smaller the account is, the more unstructured learning tends to be.

- Sales cycles can be super long when selling to companies. With certain contacts, I've been in touch for more than a year before they even consider registering one employee for a training program.

What I'm trying to say is that since I know it requires a lot of work to sell training as your core job, it would be incredibly difficult to do as a "side" hustle.

All true points. But let’s say I’m a CPA with a bunch of business clients who have sales teams. They’d just need to say to their clients, “it may be worth meeting with these guys.” If the deal closes, that could be up to $30k in the CPA’s pocket for doing no selling at all, you know?

Yeah makes sense, if their “job” ends with just referring them. The only remaining concern could be if they (the coa. Consultant etc)are in any way putting their reputation on the line. Say the customer ends up not being satisfied with the training, or the trainer etc..

Sorry if i appear a bit negative with the comments, I’m just thinking of ways things could go south m, however unlikely that may be :)

Since pandemic pushing everyone to wfh, many people are of the opinion that all aspects of businesses (at least for software) can be done remotely. How many of you still believe that persona touch goes a long way to close a sales deal?

Has massive growth ever led to mental breakdown? I have been hustling since 17 years old chasing to strive for success doing odd jobs and unintentionally ended up with Edtech K12 Sales as my first official sales job - A toxic culture with no employee respect eventually me to switch after 18 months. Since reps in Edtech are highly valued, had no option but to continue in Edtech sales. This time it was higher education segment, things looked good in the first few month but slowly it started adapting methodologies like the old Edtech since the management was changed. I decided to move out and switch to B2B SaaS. After 13 months of learning & success, my aspirations weren’t matching with the growth vision shared by my manager and ended up being desperate to switch. Got to a AM-Inside Sales role with a 50% hike. Guess what? It led to my mental break down since the culture is pathetic. In entire journey, all challenges never affected my performance but l am losing the spark to glow and hustle eventually. While I plan to switch, a token of guilt is still alive. The experiences have made me far better and strong as a BDR but blank about the next steps in my career. Thanks for reading. Do share your thoughts.

Hi guys, new here! I needed some advice. I am selling a job platform. But I need ideas on how to sell better. Cold email’s are not working. And I am selling globally, so, calling all countries is not possible. And I am doing this solo.
