Nothing but a semi-decent stepping stone - Inside Sales Associate Best Practices Employee Review

Thank you for taking time to share your experiences and critique. I appreciate your taking time. It pains me when sales professionals don't make it in our company. Because Sales has clear performance quotas as part of the job, it can be challenging for good people who find themselves regularly missing targets. The weekly sales briefings, updates and on-the-job-training sometimes are not enough to help people soar in our form of science-oriented solution selling. We continue to work hard to expand and improve our training for Sales and all other functions. Recently we rolled out a Sales "skills lattice" with 56 skills; colleagues elect the ones they want to grow -- and then we provide resources, coaching, reading and training to help support their continuous learning. We are a team-based culture. So commission sharing is a cornerstone of our culture when multiple people drive or support a sale. I'm disappointed we didn't do a better job helping you appreciate the benefits of team-selling and a team culture. For individuals wishing to work as "soloists," we are probably a poor fit. I promise we will continue working hard to help all people who join the company learn, grow and succeed in their roles. I hope your new job is better aligned with your needs and ambitions. I continue to cheer for your success with your new employer -- just as I did when you were a colleague here. Good luck! -- CEO of Best Practices.
