Listen upper mgmt (B2B MPs, Directors, VP), you guys need to advocate for your B2B reps. Majority of you all carried the bag and know what it takes to be a successful B2B sales person (except for the folks that slid in from a GM at a store or R2B manager, that’s another issue, you guys need to learn to carry the bag first like the B2B way, not no R2B amateur hour).
Verizon is penalizing successful B2B reps:
- QoQ quota increases after crushing quota
- Windfall
- Monthly commission should be Quarterly commission. This isn’t retail, quality deals take time to close.
Hey B2B Verizon Leadership, what are you guys doing to your reps? Let sales ppl make money with quality deals. Don’t penalize them bc they’re crushing their numbers. You guys are literally taking money then taking more money away!!
Ppl that are reading this, if you’re a B2B rep, have you gone on FMLA or know someone on your team who did? Exactly, That’s a problem.. that ain’t normal.
B2B reps that are fed up with this commission structure my advice to you is take full advantage of tuition reimbursement, free learning platforms like PluralSight, etc upskill as much as possible and GTFO! Because nothing will change, only empty promises. This is a great stepping stone to an amazing B2B career elsewhere. Go to SaaS sales, money is abundant. Learn how to communicate and present effectively in a professional setting. Then after that GTFO from Verizon. Client Partner maybe is worth working for, to get enterprise experience than GTFO. Or go for a manager level role than GTFO.
