SpotHopper Reviews

You’re expected to either book or hold 3 meetings per day in the field. Lots of driving to and from meetings. The pitch deck they give you is close to 50 slides long, so the meetings take a good hour if you don’t skip anything. And they push you and the prospects to sign on the spot. They expect you to do some cheesy cars salesmen tactics and loop in your manager to waive set up fees and such IF they sign and give you their credit card on the spot. They do monthly quotas instead of quarterly or yearly. So you get that “gun to the head” top down pressure every single month. This adds 3X the stress of most SaaS sales orgs. If you’re thinking about joining in the Canadian market, don’t. They didn’t send any resources or expertise to Canada. You get no inbounds like the US do, and yet you’re expected to hit the same quota, but converted to CAD. I think most Canadian reps have either been fired or given a “hit or get fired” quota for their last month, almost like a PIP. Their management, or lack thereof, is inexperienced. Most managers are just senior AE’s without any proper management training or experience, and it sadly shows. Lastly, the product itself is really just a glorified website, that lacks any real significant value for what you’re paying monthly for it.

- Regardless of how it is put, SpotHopper makes Squarespace equivalent sites (maybe worse) for restaurants and bars and "automates" social media. There's no AI involved or any real data analysis. - Even if you crush quota, you'll be making closer to the bottom end of the compensation. - Management is a mess, no one has any sales experience other than using WikiHow - Legal team has no real credentials and contracts written hold no value. Occasionally charges clients wrong so get excited for a client to yell at you for billing them for the whole year instead of by month. - You get ~.25% "equity" per year for hitting ALL of your quota goals for the year. Even if you did, enjoy .25% of a LLC worth $0! - Very high churn/unsatisfied client rate. Many fight with their cc companies to cancel and Spothopper almost always loses which means clawback for you. - No promotions! - Everyone receives a different stipend amount with no thought into how much their cities' cost of livings are. Hint: it's not very much and supposed to cover medical/dental insurance, travel to clients, parking, cellphone, home office needs, and more. - No culture or values - never meet up with any of your coworkers! - If you crush your goals for the month, congrats you get a trip to a random city in the US to sell! - Office got moved from Brooklyn to Wisconsin so I think that speaks for itself.
