Pros
Pros - Best sales team in London bar none - check out the share price developments since 2007 - the numbers dont lie! This growth has been facilitated by an excellent business development training programme - where seniors spend a huge amount of time training and developing staff and actually teaching them how to influence people MONEY - If like most people you want to make money - there are simply very few organisations in the country which will allow a twenty something year old to actually earn more money than a brain surgeon. This is achievable by a great commission plan, with realistic targets, and incentives to overachieve. A true meritocratic structure. This review has been written by an existing member of staff who works in a sales based role - I happened to look at our reviews on Glassdoor out of interest and I was shocked to see reviews that are complete lies. A word of advice for any young grads looking to apply - if you really want to know what it is like working at GlobalData - check out LinkedIn and approach people who have actually worked here for more than a year - who will be happy to give you the full ins and outs - then you will see a realistic picture building up. Do not rely on posts by people who failed at the job, because they were not driven or hard working enough - and therefore not up to the high standards which are expected here.
Cons
This job is not for everyone - ***** You must want to do sales***** This does not mean using this type of job as a pit stop, or something to do temporarily. This is usually a recipe for disaster. It is not something anyone can succeed at by doing it half heartedly. What then ends up happening is that there is no passion or drive behind having a 'hunting' mentality - and nothing works - with most people having delusional reasons as to why they failed.
