Ford will be lucky if they can sell 30,000 units. Who in he-l would buy it, only those who are working at Ford.

The cookie company has closed 57 stores this year due to a significant drop in sales. August sales were down 70% compared to two years prior. The company also conducted layoffs at its headquarters. Leadership changes occurred earlier this year with the co-founders departing their roles. Approximately 1,000 Crumbl locations are still in operation.

Designed to be the enabler and bring more deals to the much more capable sales staff. The sales staff that got overlooked for the CE roles are the hunters. Now we have Client executives getting involved in all deals. I’ve personally witnessed CEs making deals smaller to show they add value. It’s a terrible sales play… CEs are managed by a sales leader and SSE is managed by another sales manager. Managers of managers! No one is able to hit the road sales plans are a priority!
. It’s a joke isn’t it nearly Q3 already ? Agree ?

Cut entire transformation group and anyone with transformation in their title

Corporate sent all the salespeople could not sell there for instance, especially from foodservice

100% of Black Diamond goes, which is pretty specific. But the rest is very vague as I hear not ALL Midstream assets go with this sale. So what other assets go? What about the employees that are dedicated to the divested assets?

Any speculations on how BB is going to report in upcoming call? Seems like Q3 was a bad quarter as the sales numbers are down and factory production has been lowly utilised.

If you are at the point where you are like “f this”, could you please ask how FIFA performed and impacted sales in the US.

I’ll get my popcorn.

Is sales still due a payout for conversion of 1H backlog to demand at start of Q1?

Are you all happy here? I am a new higher and this job is not what I was sold on for sure. The ability to earn commission is non-existent. I have 23,000 net activation quota a month, nobody is pumping out 130 smartphones around here.

I am panicking

Anyone familiar with the Contract Sales Division? The guys that used to sell appliances directly to builders and contractors. Just curious because I worked for a guy that delivered the appliances to sites over 30 years ago. I always wondered what ever happened to those salesmen. I'm pretty sure the company I worked for went away several years ago.

I've noticed a pattern on our DRB calls where there are only 1 or 2 deals up for review out of a team of 35+ salespeople. Why such low numbers?

Are government organizations simply not going to market or has the sales team QUIET QUIT?

No one can blame you did. I'm just super curious.

How are such low numbers possible? Educate me on the reality on the ground.

LFG has proven without a doubt that portfolio sales and engineering leadership has led to losing market share. With more portfolio AEs and SEs as a result of LFG, the numbers look worse than ever before. We have no specialists to call and come in to sell, demo, and design.

Who is having a huge sales and credit slump?

Nike is implementing another round of cost-cutting measures, including job reductions, as the company faces declining sales and a weak outlook. Quarterly revenue fell by 4%, with significant drops in Nike Direct and digital sales. The sportswear giant is also restructuring its operations under a new plan called Pace, aiming for substantial savings by fiscal year 2031. Challenges persist in key markets like Greater China and with the Jordan Brand. The company's stock has seen a significant decrease over the past year, reflecting these ongoing business pressures.

As a Sales OD in US Commercial, it is obvious we need more specialist engineers as our portfolio SEs are not able to discuss technologies and architectures beyond route switch. It is a disaster and we need engineering specialists. Our Area SE Director is unwilling to raise the concern.

Anyone hearing fiber sales got cut..?

Fiber salespeople were cut today ?

Air Force 1 resurgence saves the day because apparently the answer to ki-ling the Dunk is going back to 1982.

PACE keeps pacing, the India supply-chain team will be cooking while we sleep and sleeping while we work, and unless somebody plans on selling a million pairs of one shoe, none of this fixes the math.

Good news though: now that we’re down to four geos, maybe we can just combine the other three and hide the North America decline.

See you at $26.

Nike is cutting off thousands of third-party online sellers in China starting in January. The reason given: they sell Nike products at heavy discounts, which hurts the brand.

But stores don't discount products that are selling well. They discount because shoppers aren't buying at full price. The discounting is a symptom, not the cause.

Removing the sellers doesn't create new demand. The same unsold shoes still have to go somewhere, now into Nike's own app and website and its partners' physical stores. If shoppers still aren't buying, those channels face the same choice: cut prices, order less, or sit on extra inventory.

The latest earnings already hint at this. In the most recent quarter, Nike's China sales fell 26%, and even Nike's own stores and online channels there were down 18%. Those are the channels shoppers are being sent to, and they're already struggling before the change takes effect.

Bottom line: Cutting off discount sellers may make the brand look more premium in the short term. But if people simply want less Nike right now, the problem doesn't disappear. Nike ends up with fewer places to sell, slower sales, and more of the discount burden on its own shoulders.

I am seeing these postings in my area pop up on job search apps and remember seeing them pop up from time to time.
If anyone has worked this position please give me the honest pros and cons and expected earnings.

Great at ruining the relationships between us and the stores with all this forced in product…..

Has everyone seen how much more work is getting done after RTO?

Sales getting done, massive deals closed

Support teams sorting out customer issues proactively, everyone pulling in the same direction

100 dollar share price here we come

Once again.....

Fed will save this company's a this year and still will get treated like st.

YOU'RE WELCOME!!!!!!

Looks like every team and group got hit with layoffs except Wealth products and sales. They gutted content and DSS, but somehow nothing happened to Wealth.

Those teams are already bloated. I bet all those boys were protected, especially sales.

This place is something.

It’s just a matter of time before a strategic buyer steps in and tries to unwind the series of useless acquisitions. It has become very obvious what the ELT’s end goal is. The insane sales target for the year + the cutting of employee benefits = fattening up the hog for sla-ghter.

I hope everyone here titrates their effort down to 0. I was already checked out and plan on doubling down.

Good luck to the shareholders.

Seems that half of the US channel sales team that focuses on (Salesforce & Mulesoft Delivery Services) was laid off suddenly on September 24th. Not much else is known at this time. Not a large department when it comes to personnel. Any other departments get laid off this week?

Just out of curiosity, with the whole title change and whatnot.

Saying that our titles are a reflection on what we are and what we do, personally going from SSR to mow.

For the sales reps, aside from writing orders, taking DMI photos, and on occasion actually selling in additional displays when managers actually allow the extra space.

What is the difference between an SSR and a sales rep?

Sales folks.... we're all doing it but is it true some folks were sacked for fudging their external collaboration stats???

I hope everyone in Public Sector Sales Ops gets let go. What do they do? Maggie is gone.

How many employees will be RIFed over the worst iPhone launch ever? Little to no sales….. little phone calls….. unheard of…….

Saw that TEBG gonna give price promotion to boost sales for 3Q end. Looks like times are getting bad to salvage the next earning call.

14 MRs and 1 sales manager between STL and DAL impacted this morning. Mortgage getting more impacts today.

I’m in sales at OT everyone is heads down in PTEP SFDC spending all day filing out stupid fields. It’s so cumbersome….. Q1 is a mess anyone agree ?

Hi folks,

After almost 19 years at Cengage, I'm now happily working with a smaller publisher. I need to fill some open roles in Sales & Marketing at the individual contributor and leadership levels. Any suggestions on where to find the best Sales & Marketing talent that might fit well with a smaller org? What job sites do you tend to use?

The "post and pray" approach on LinkedIn and similar doesn't seem to be great--I'm getting a lot of "easy apply" resumes that aren't super relevant. Meanwhile, I see on sites like this one that layoffs at Cengage (and competitors) continue, so I'm looking for any suggestions on where/how to more actively find Sales & Marketing talent. I've already hit up my own network directly; looking for any advice on additional avenues to pursue...

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Awful sales, bad morale.

Has anyone looked at the distribution of RIF employees? For those who were part of the RIF it should be in workday. It’s a 47 page document. Just curious what your thoughts are. I reviewed the data by extracting the PDF into and excel. I wanted to analyze it because I wanted to see what the age distribution was. I can safely say that 40+ vs 40 under age range did not have a statistical significance.associated with selection of older employees at least for the line I reviewed. The selection rate was also evenly spaced out among age bands between 8-11% on any age group. There was a disproportionate impact on Sales teams at 30%+ percent accounting for the majority of the RIF. I don’t believe these numbers include the VSP numbers.

Has anyone else’s store become a hotbed of returns? Some days returns outpace sales significantly.
