      Don't settle for this...

      Pros

      -Great place to start for people new to the world of B2B sales. -Randy (when I was there, he was COO and next in line to take over the business) is a very warm, kind person, and a nice advocate for the BDRs.

      Cons

      -You're just a number.. not a valued employee -Working 14 hour days, to make sure you achieve what they call "NAM", or Now Activity Management. This is where you are required to achieve X amount of sales meetings a week, X amount of Networking events a week, X amount of partner meetings a week, and so on. It is unrealistic, especially if you're in a market where there's already another BDR who has "claimed" all of the valuable networking partners and you're trying to grow your network for referrals. -Toxic culture. CEO is a maniac, some Partners are helpful, BDR's can be "cliquish", those tenured vs. newbies. The newbies make friends with one another because they can all relate to these issues! Listen to what your gut is telling you. -HIGHLY underpaid, and I didn't realize this until I started looking for jobs again. -Commission is a joke. You work so hard, when small-mid size businesses are the primary target for these services. Those deals aren't a lot of money, so I'd get stupid money like $10 commission checks. Now, if you get in good with private equity firms and get big projects, that can be different, but it takes a lot of time for PE to trust new partners. -A lot of time I spent was getting calls from unhappy customers.. there is a lack of communication between BDRs, Partners, and the Consultants. I could go on. I feel like once the CEO (Jim) is out, maybe the company can clean house a bit, and then it'd get better. The turnover is SO high for a reason..

      Pros

      Initially joining the company, it was very promising and had the potential to be a lot of room for growth, unfortunate that these things changed over time.

      Cons

      Coming from a sales background and working for different organizations I would have to say that this is a company that you do not want to join if you are looking to grow your sales career. There is a huge disconnect between the sales team and the rest of the company. You have leadership that does not come from sales or management at all which was the biggest red flag for me. KPI's, quotas, commission structures were not built for a sales organization, they were built by and for accountants . I can speak for current and former reps that the sales team is the least taken care of by the company. At one point 8/11 reps were looking for new jobs at one point. It is very sad to see that at one point we had one of the most talented teams that I have been on, yet management let it all go.

      Hello, and thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We welcome any and all feedback. We would like to extend an apology of the disconnect that was felt on your end. We are constantly working to improve relationships within and fix any divide between our sales and management teams. We very much value our sales team as they are the reason we are successful and continue to grow at a rapid rate. Currently, we are investing in a new training program, with a focus to increase the skill level of the team. This training involves the physiology of selling, an update on our call flows and product knowledge. Commission structure has also been updated to market standards. We're working on building culture on a corporate level; we want to make sure everyone feels safe, enjoys the environment and thrives at the sales role. Thank you for your feedback!

      Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. At NOW CFO, we pride ourselves on the variety of clients we are able to serve. This includes clients of all sizes, from Fortune 500 companies to smaller local businesses. We hire top-level consultants for all our projects. Often, our clients are so pleased with their work that they hire our consultants full time. This is a big factor in our turnover rate. NOW CFO is a growing company and every growing company is subject to growing pains in areas like communication. Our partners meet weekly to share insight on how to make our communication and our company stronger. We’re sorry to hear that your experience with NOW CFO was a negative one.
