Wonder if DO is bringing any more people that Frontier wanted to can. He brings over these people that sit there and say Hi to a team one time. Be like im going to be engaged once a month and then you never see them again. Oh look another meeting with leadership turnover. Guess someone exceeded their KPI on word salads. DO should focus more on the actual employees instead of not understanding sales and long winded speeches.

Does anyone know how much we spend on FIFA?

It is actually impacting sales?

I keep seeing executives posting about how great is was (as they attend all the events) but they never mention if it is actually helping sales.

The sales manager cowards have all awoken from their coffins and have been unearthed - they cannot handle the pressure from the CRO and are funneling down the pressure. New VP nice guy but dud and already rolling out day 0 day 1 day 30 day 90 forecasting methods starting August and he thinks this is going to fix the horrid decline of this abomination of a company. SRD Kb lost her marbles and never make her number once as rep or dir or SRd she fire so many reps and replace with all duds already selling nothing what a joke

they all are cowards now writing big AI gen threaten emails to engineers support staff sales everyone

these are all big joke ppl

cro is biggest joke the tech industry has ever seen nobody gives a rats a-s about him or his life story or troubles no one like you! Leave cro!

Just cause Saks is gone .We thought we'd get a bump in business .it hasn't happened.
Curious if other markets are having the same. Minus Boston. Course Neimans store there closed

Hello there,
Are there any May Company legacy people that can give us the 411 on what happened to May Company star program (Diamond star...etc.) If memory serves, this was connected to sales and hospitality. Isn't that right ?

Are SEs going to become AEs and AEs will become LRed?
Seems that way to me with the direction of tech. Teachings sales to engineers is easier than teaching engineering to sales ppl. With agents, I see a push to consolidate this to a single role. sink/swim ppl. An overlays and CX...good luck survirving Agentic-pocolypes

We have lost market share for years so now LFG has been rolled out moving many specialists to the portfolio teams. Are they replacing the failed portfolio sales and engineering leadership at all levels that are responsible for this.

Remember, it was you who moved the ball for the company. It was the front line employee who made a difference to the customer base. It was you that made VZW. Not the so called decision makers. That being said, the best way to combat this is to all go work for a competitor, and bring what you brought to make VZW great. Let’s take VZW down by stacking the competition with highly driven, winning-cultured players in the industry.

Are SEs being "pooled"? I don't think I will have the same success if SEs are pooled and not 1:1 with us.

Enrique make it clear that we're not for sale! Not for sale!

Why they keep making this limited edition sh-t that doesn't sell!?

Come on AT&T! Can u get someone 3rd party companies into Louisiana and stack these Fiber sales and more! Not only thank but doin door to door knocks inside the cities which is against the law! Sounds like a great idea for another class action lawsuit!

Somehow I am seeing that Dell is doing very well financially, their stock and value is the highest it's ever been, same about revenue. Otherwise I am worrying about the constant layoffs I have seen

I am currently interviewing for a Inside Sales Associate role in the NGSA in Hopkinton, MA and would love to hear some insights. Would you take the role if given?

Any word on whether more sales layoffs are expected? Seems like the team has already been reduced quite a bit. Curious how much more can be cut before there’s not much left.

Too all MOW who work like dogs and all the sales reps and now RTM's who act like MOW dont do there jobs then how about you merchandise 400 cases daily and have messes left by lack of merchandisers at every store due to bieng understaffed, see what you can sell in, theres no time to even rotate or do backstock, the only way this company will ever be successful is if it hires enough people to do the job right, and they won't so the cycle continues. Get out and go to companies that respect hard workers. Tired of reps talking bs when they dont do half as much as most MOW on any given day.

For the rtms already in this role around the country, how much merchandising are you guys actually doing? Are any territories fully staffed with merchandisers? Are your merchandisers selling in when you are off doing the rms responsibilities?

Anybody here have insight into actual subscription sales? I was laid off from Ford in 2022 and have been at a mediocre job for a couple years but have an opportunity involving subscription sales for a competitor. Not sure if it would be worth leaving an okay job for a risky job even for a good bit more $$$.

I know I don’t pay for too many subscriptions myself.

The leader of the largest division of Canon USA has tunnel vision and is simply focused on spreadsheets and not the real problems that trouble WTS.

If you want to other people to help sales out start off by looking in the mirror. What have you done for the WTS sales group since you took over in January?

For starters we have seen more price increases to both hardware and service while you admit the market it declining 5%-15% annually. You want us to sell more IT services but you don’t want to pay us. We can’t make more than a 2% override these days and our income is significantly decreased YOY. We then got stuck using this awful product called Google. Let’s not address the fact that not one person has acknowledged this was a great move. We simply don’t talk about it anymore because your mother told you if you have nothing nice to say don’t say it.

So when you tell those who work within WTS to help others, what have you done?

I am rooting for the grizzly bear!!!!

JVB demoted because she couldn’t meet target in MM sales. Now Shelly Goodman ‘retiring’ because she couldn’t unravel the destruction JVB left behind. For those of you outside of sales that complain about RTO, sales has the most valid reason to complain. Sales is forced to office 5x just like everyone else. Think of the time on the road we could be in front of customers. Instead, we have to come to office daily to meet an in office badge swipe quota while sales attainments circle the drain. We can go into the field to meet customers and try to sale fiber and mobility but the hours we lose daily by commuting instead of acquiring revenue is astounding. Yes, we are in the field but the hours commuting eats up some of that time and we see it in quarter after quarter revenue decline. When sales is set up to fail, we all will.

It was mentioned by Anthony in the Q&A so I guess we shouldn't be surprised but the LSE org is going through a major "restructuring". I've counted 4 VPs that were let go, I'm sure there will be more to come...

Has anyone that has left voluntarily or via WFR in Sales or Presales been held to a Non Compete or Key employee agreement( KEA) when looking at going to a competitor or partner? Thought there was one but can't seem to find that now.

Thank you!

Hertz sells facility near Mitchell International for $4.5 million

Anyone hearing anything?

Sales got hit, rest of company will survive unscathed

It's over folks , rest easy

Did anyone else see that the WW Sales & Partner Ecosystem accidentally sent out & then cancelled a call for July 9th today?

“Send invite out on July 7” and “(FY26 AE → FY27 CE or C-SSE)” are part of the description. I’m glad I thought to screenshot the invite.

been there just 8 months, got laid off today with several peers. big changes to the sales/partner org. really cr-ppy to have been lured away from a good job only to have my OT position eliminated a few months after I started.

How much are we expected to take? Month after month they continue to move the goal post. It’s nearly IMPOSSIBLE to make money if you’re in a sales role. Quotas continue to rise all because we are bleeding customers and that falls on the frontline. We continue to bust out a$$ just to get crapped on. The people setting these targets need a dose of reality. Put a tablet in their hand and see if they can do it. That would sure be a nice comedy show for us.

Of the 21k cuts, what percentage are sales! I'm curious

We integrating to become more efficient and reduce cost. Don’t matter if you like the decision but tomorrow Xerox supposed to move to Lex CRM platform (a date already slipped) and the date moved again. Jeez. Sales Strategy and Sales Operations (a dangerous d-mb and d-mber) didn’t get the memo from LP about speed I guess. All just want to get on but not helped by delay.

I'll just say it.
These stores could change their flow upside down and inside out...it still wont change your sh**ty, nonexistent Selling Culture. Macys only solution to falling sales are floor moves. Change that!
Especially considering the flow and assortment at most Dillards have remained consistent for decades. Thats department store excels at customer service, those associates literally greet me at the door. The insanity of floor moves every quarter has got to stop!! Who isnt getting their job right the first time?!

Lot of layoffs at Lightpath last week. Mostly from Sales.

I've heard that only sales will have layoffs, all the "new way of doing business" is all sales related.

Other orgs won't be getting cut

Topgolf recently laid off hundreds of employees nationwide. The company also lost nearly $1 billion in value under previous ownership. New CEO David McKillips aims to revitalize the brand. His plan includes upgrading golf ba--s and introducing simulator leagues. McKillips also intends to expand locations and diversify entertainment options.

Why are there so many Sirius sellers leaving, or left, the company? CDW is hemorrhaging all the 20 year customer relationships? As a CDW seller, I was assigned a lot of these accounts, that came with very high quotas and they don't want to do business with me. My management said these all would be easy accounts to farm and my income would double. I am starting to realize CDW management doesn't understand why customers buy from who they do and most of them that I know of never had a job selling directly.

All this stuff about how we operate is only for sales and their go to market strategy, for everyone else there are no changes and no layoffs

So many missed potential sales with these Amazon returns. The dinosaurs in leadership stuck on old rent-to-own tactics trying to convert non rent-to-own people into customers instead of making our business meet their needs and earn their business. I've had success selling to these people and let's just say $.01 starts doesnt work. Averaging $140 in cod with these sales. It can be done. Need new fresh minds at the top. Stop holding us back!

I can’t understand why the company is launching all these products that end up being duds. Products that have very little AUM in them after 1-2 years and where they likely will not grow to reach scale. It ends up being a drain on resources and time and effort from various teams. Why? Just to keep people in a job and to use certain products as scapegoats for not winning.

Sales team probably said they could sell it. Product team likely did analysis to say it could be a winner. Management must’ve signed off on it.

Where is the accountability?

Several people on our sales team were surplussed on Wednesday-all had good numbers compared to those of use that weren't impacted, our sales manager said that the selection process was above his pay grade and that she had no say what-so-ever in the selection, one of the sellers let go was the oldest person on the team, a white guy who was crushing it this year and had the highest production on the team, the other two who were let go were also older members of the team , on e them was third on the team in production. Those of us left are newer to the team and are glad we were spared but are trying to understand how this selection process works
