This is specifically for the client facing / sales roles:
- At the end of the day, Ms. Bashir manages behind the scene all hiring/firings, territory assignments, sales compensation models. A bit like the puppeteer behind the sales managers. It seems to be based on data or personal preference. As you can imagine, as she is not involved with the day-to-day operations of the sales team, this could create issues...
- This is more of a general career advice: This is a SMB sales role. Mainly selling to small travel businesses. It's a niche market with very little enterprise players. In the long term, you would be pigeon-holed to SMB sales. There are plenty of SaaS companies in the bay area that offer you an enterprise sales track. It would be better for you in the long run . Yes, I saw the company added some mid-market roles. This is not even in the ball park of other verticals (retail, security, manufacturing, etc...).
Hey, if you don't believe me, research yourself the average tenure of a Peek salesperson.
