Nitrogen Wealth Response
8yI'm sorry that you haven't had a good experience at our company. I've worked really hard to build a leadership team and middle management that can help empower every Riskalyzer to succeed. I'm sure it's not perfect, but the results don't square with the picture you paint here.
— Your numbers on sales are inaccurate. We are privately held and our numbers are confidential, but in Q1, the Advisor Solutions Team averaged 112% of budget and the SAS team serving multi-advisor offices averaged 114% of budget.
— I share your frustration with Velocify. The team did a lot of research in choosing it and it has not lived up to its billing. Everyone is working to figure out how to solve that.
— Would love to hear your input on how our marketing partnerships could be improved. They are pretty industry standard right now, but maybe you have good ideas about improving them. Did you submit that idea at Team Brunch? I would have answered it!
— We definitely had our struggles with managers, but that was stabilized with Josh coming out and helping to bring aboard Jacob, Michael and Pete. I have a lot of confidence in the sales management team we've built in Atlanta.
— It's unfortunate that you feel you can't share a conflicting viewpoint. My Slack and email are wide open if you feel this way, and I would challenge you to send me specific, productive feedback on what you think needs to improve. I may or may not agree with you, but I'll listen to what you have to say, and explain where I think you're right and where your suggestions might not work.
You say that "all the A players have left" and yet you list yourself as a current employee. That tells me you feel very frustrated about your performance. I'd encourage you to either leave the company so you can find a place where you'll be happy, OR engage with your manager, with your team lead, with Ryan, with me and let the team we've assembled work to turn you into the "A" player we believe you are. -AK
