Selling a fantastic technology product to a generation of people who think they don't need it - Lead Specialist dotloop Employee Review

The Lead Specialist, or Advocate, roll is essentially a glorified secretary. Little of your time will be spent actually selling the product but rather selling someone, if you can keep them on the phone long enough, on doing an online demonstration of the system on a webinar. The job itself is made more difficult due to dirty lead lists of which you must scrub and research constantly. As someone who has never had an office desk job before, the time spent sitting still and staring at a computer screen ended up being a struggle in overcoming morbid boredom and monotony. The people you are speaking with largely will not want to give you the time of day much less a few minutes, and so the job itself can be very frustrating. Other cons include inconsistent expectations, pay is incredibly low given difficulty of sell (do not listen to HR pay estimates as they are largely inflated to attract candidates), and there tends to be an inner circle of "made" employees who aren't very inviting to input of other employees.
