Pros

Potential to make a lot of money.

Cons

Be prepared to experience favoritism. Deals are thrown to the Sales managers favorites. Favoritism is based on no merit or particular skill, just who they "like" the most.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are happy to hear that others agree there is a lot of money to be made here in sales – very true! While the sales department is responsible for bringing in net new business, they also benefit from a solid base of current customers and customer upgrades. Because we have such strong service due to our “Commitment to Excellence – EVERY DAY”, many times customers are upgraded automatically. Moreover, our company’s pay out on current customers is exactly the same as net new – while other companies pay much lower for a current account upgrade! Additionally, as pointed out, we do receive occasional leads – due to our company’s great reputation in the industry. When this occurs, the lead goes to the person who is assigned that particular territory or named account. However, if the territory is not assigned, the manager can either sell it on their own or give it to someone who has been working hard – at their discretion. We are sorry you feel overlooked, and are hopeful you keep working hard so that the next time a lead comes in, you are the recipient based upon your work effort! Outside sales is not a job for all, and by no means is it easy. However, the main focus of an outside sales person needs to be opening doors to net new accounts versus tracking lead distribution in the office.

Pros

The colleagues and team members at Blue Technologies are genuinely talented, hardworking, and collaborative. The people I worked alongside daily made the job worthwhile and were the primary reason I stayed as long as I did. There is a solid foundation of institutional knowledge among the staff, and the core copier business does provide some stability.

Cons

Leadership operates with a deeply entrenched, top-down mentality rooted in an outdated sales culture. Nepotism is prevalent at the executive level, which undermines meritocracy and morale across the organization. Compensation is below market rate with no meaningful bonus structure in place. The company has made a push into software and professional services but has fundamentally failed to understand that selling software requires an entirely different skill set, methodology, and sales culture than selling hardware. Sales staff are hired and managed as if they are selling copiers, and the results reflect that. Leadership's resistance to evolving beyond their comfort zone has created a ceiling on what this company can realistically achieve in its expansion efforts.
