Keyence reviews

Micromanagement, aggressive towards customers. Targets including cold calling, duration, number of visits per day, sales amount.

Numbers above all else, you could be over quota every quarter but still be ranked lower and paid less if you aren't hitting all of their activity metrics (phone calls, sales calls, leads, new contact entry, internal leads, and more). Establishing credibility with customers is incredibly difficult because Keyence has a very high turnover and customers meet a new rep pretty much every year. You will be sharing your territory with sales people from other product lines which results in the customers not wanting to meet with you because they are already meeting with and receiving calls from 5-6 other keyence reps. Most people burn out and leave within 2 years, one guy from my office didn't even stick around for a month after training.
