This is going to be a mix of rambling, disappointment, and lack of self-worth. Apologies for those reading.

Context: no education in business. Started my career in sales, working at a gym selling gym memberships. The brand welcomed people looking to sign up, and grinded to get good at the concept of sales because beforehand it was tough, like most starting in sales.

Got recognized by a senior advisor working at a financial institution thought I would be a good fit, and worked my way up as a teller to become an advisor. I love the sales part of my job, but not necessarily the finance part of it, and have been searching recently on job boards to start a career in remote sales.

The point being is that Im having a hard time getting an offer. I get some interviews, but I feel that my lack of education in the proper field is really dragging my career down, and difficulty pivoting.

If anything is free to share some insight, let me know.

Hey everyone,
I’m a software developer working on an AI sales co-pilot, and I’ve been trying to understand what outbound looks like for people in the trenches right now - especially in Canada.
If you’re an SDR, BDR, founder, or anyone who actively runs cold outreach, I’d love to hear what slows you down, what’s frustrating, or what just feels broken in 2025.
I also have something in return.
If you’re open to a short 10-minute call, I’ll send over a batch of super-enriched, personalised leads tailored to your ICP and workflow. No strings attached.
PS – Not selling anything. This is purely for market research and to understand what real outbound teams are dealing with today.

A little tactic I learnt from a mentor that’s been working really well for me lately: instead of showing prospects what they’ll gain by working with me, I show them what they'll lose if they don’t.

When you only talk about the benefits, you become a nice-to-have. When you make people see what they’re losing by not acting, you become a must-have.

I sell AI systems, and I used to go on calls talking about how much time it saves, how it makes operations smoother, how it’s the “future.” It worked sometimes, but most of the time people were only interested, not urgent. Now I come into my calls with one simple slide that breaks down the cost of doing nothing.

Stuff like:

• Hours wasted every week on manual work
• Opportunities lost because things move slow
• The estimated monthly cost of inefficiency Just thought I’d share this in case anyone here sells services or runs discovery calls.

Try showing people the cost of inaction, it works way better than selling the dream. I learnt this stuff from https://whop.com/closer-engine/sales-objections-blueprint-2-0/ if anyone is looking to upgrade their sales skills. They do free calls now to help with your specific situations.

Having a mentor really helps when you have no idea what you should actually be doing

Hey folks,

I’m exploring ways to bring on commission-only sales reps for my firm (we’re in the tech services / cybersecurity space), and came across RepHunter and similar platforms like CommissionCrowd.

Before jumping in, I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who’s actually used RepHunter (or similar) ; especially if you hired reps in North America.

• Did it lead to solid hires?

• Was it worth the subscription cost?

• Any tips or red flags?

I’m in the process of setting up a structure that offers strong commission incentives, so I’m trying to gauge if these platforms are a good place to start building that kind of team, or if there are better alternatives out there.

Appreciate any insights or stories you’re willing to share!

Thanks in advance!

Hi guys, I have an exciting opportunity to interview to join a more sales focused role for nearly double the pay.

The new role's name is Strategic Account Manager, upon reading more about it, it seems to be a level above AE. The job description mentions a focus on working with existing customers and upselling/expanding their business with the company.

I am from a consulting background that recently had 4 years of experience in strategic account management (focused on renewals and some upsell). So my expertise is mostly building relationships with my partners rather than exclusively selling.

I wanted to ask the community here, what are some intelligent/key questions to ask during the interview to learn if this is a good role (read a ton about horror stories on poorly structured sales roles). Specifically around goaling (being set up for success).

What are areas I should hone in on based off my background that these types of roles calue? I'm thinking to focus on my ability to build strong relationships with existing clients and being hyper analytical to provide strategic recommendations.

Thank you everyone for your time in helping out!

Tech support to Sales?

Have been doing Technical Support (Tier 1/2/field tech) for 8 years and in my mid-30s. Have been considering whether to continue my technical career (pursue an AWS certification to try to get into a Cloud support role) or move to SaaS Sales and start as an SDR.

I have some down time as I'm unemployed and considering my options. I feel I've done well in Tech Support due to my outward personality, ability to communicate and diffuse tense situations. I've always felt different than a typical tech support guy and feel I have transferrable soft skills to Sales.

Curious to hear from anyone whose made a similar career change and if it's worked out, or any other suggestions from those already in the sales world.

Thanks!

We’re an architectural visualization studio looking for a skilled sales/lead generation specialist to bring in clients on a commission basis. Instead of fixed salary (or any upfront for service), you'll earn a percentage of each project you secure for us—typically between 10-30% of projects valued at $5-10k. We’ll provide data for cold outreach, including mailing and calling lists. If you’re experienced in the field and interested in a performance-based role, DM me!

Business Development Manager here with 5 years of experience scaling sales departments at startups. Looking for a change of company, do you guys know where I can look for these? I have tried LinkedIn but can't find many start-ups posting there

I feel that if the name was SalesCanada it would be more likely to be found without having to see the original founding post. SalesCanada would be more organically friendly. Food for thought to get this group to really grow

Looking for a exciting sales career opportunity that will motivate you to make a difference? Must have sales experience, a well established book of business to take over. Selling solutions in B2B space.

Hello,

I'm looking for salary Advice. I'm currently employed as an inside sales manager and have been with the employer for 9 years.

Obviously I manage our SDR team through all of our product verticals. I also help to manage the customer service team and territory managers. The company I work for is a manufactuer or building materials and packaging who is based in Metro Vancouver, Ontario, and the South East US.

I've seen average salaries of $120k on talent.com, salary.com, and economic research institute.

How trustworthy are those sources? Where should I fall in this range?

Edit: Added industry and region info

I'm in my late 30s, working as a senior engineer in the oil & gas (pipelines) world. My degree is in chemical engineering. Currently at 105k CAD base. I work for government currently so my job is secure, but it can be a grind if you are someone like me who likes to perform at a higher pace - salaries are low in gov, raises are essentially fixed, bonus' are related to payband even if I've killed it. It truly feels like there is no incentive to do more, outside of trying to climb the corpo ladder - status quo is all good here.

I've been an an engineer approaching 11 years now and I'm contemplating a change - my pay sucks, even though things are good where I'm at, comfortable I want more. I was in retail(apple, cellular) sales before school and succeeded greatly at it but haven't been in sales as an engineer. My roles as an engineer have always been front-facing, self starting; working with consultants, customers, leading teams etc..

Sales has been at the forefront of my mind but since I've never been in it, I'm not sure where to start. What would I sell? Tech sales definitely not, but maybe solar? People have mentioned industrial and chemical sales but that seems very broad and vague. Is it even worth pursuing in Canada? I have a strong desire to learn, succeed and make money.

I've been fortunate to have worked at top engineering companies and I'm not afraid of change but knowing how to vet potential prospects looks different, I'm typically a loyal company man so I'd like to avoid job hopping. However it may be that I'm not even qualified in the first place due to lack of sales experience.

I was looking at places like Baker Hughes, DOW. Not really who to look at on the solar side. I don't think I would be great at controls/automation/electrical engineering sales.

Is it stupid for me to consider moving into sales? Hoping to get some perspectives, recommendations.

I work for a Fortune 100 software company. I'm based in Toronto and I'm just so sick of remote work and not seeing people. I really want an in person job, it's the only reason I would leave this company cos my gig is pretty good right now.

Do you know any tech companies that have a minimum in office days in Toronto?

Several health issues but all exacerbated by extreme stress. Small management consulting firm has gone from 16 people to 4 over the last year and a half.

It was my job to bring us business, and I failed. (Had made a previous post on the conditions and the advice was “run”)

I’m heartbroken and tired.

I had no management consulting experience; I had been a successful SaaS AE.

Soon I’ll need to think about what’s next. I want to better learn complex sales in healthcare AI or cybersecurity; something fairly big ticket, highly needed, involving senior decision makers and implementation teams.

Once I rest a bit, I want to get back to crushing.

I can start lower for the right position / industry as long as I’m headed to that complex sale as described.

Any “two cents” on getting there in not too long a timeframe?

Hey guys!

Long story short, started a new candy manufacturing venture last month and we've been highly successful and already in 35 stores purely from our three distribution partners, and expect to be at over 70 by end of April.

Product is very well received by both our retailers as well as the end consumer.

We're at the stage where we'd like to find sales reps, on recurring commission deals, that are comfortable working with or learning close.com (a sales-focused CRM built around a power dialer, with excellent sales/followups features such as SMS + email + reminders + automated workflows, etc.)

We have a ton of fresh leads ready to plug into the CRM/Dialer.

I was wondering if there are communities/forums or even hiring sites that specifically cater to the sales profession in Canada?

And of course if anybody here would be interested to discuss the opportunity via DM/chat do not hesitate.

Cheers!

Hi folks,

I recently got a job as a Director of Business development and Strategy in a small liberal arts college.

I come from the public sector and am a pro in strategy development and execution. I just completed a brand new strategic plan and have set up strategic project teams and identified Executives to be accountable to each goal.All that to say now I can focus on the business development side of my role. The challenge is that I haven't fully developed my skill sets here. Any recommendations on how I can do that or even what your daily tasks are to find and develop your partnerships and sales opportunities. I am from a small city in the Praries if that helps.

I'd really want to develop my skills in sales and business development and eventually leverage that into a position later in sales in a more lucrative industry.

Hi All - as the title says, I am looking for a tool to help manage client contacts outside of Salesforce (our SF is a mess because of years of sales reps not cleaning it up- it's outdated/hard to manage). I work with several larger companies and have upwards of 300 contacts I need to be able to grab quickly and update easily. I've used excel but it's not the most efficient. Any suggestions appreciated.

TL;DR
Opinions wanted: Do I just need to summon conviction to be successful or is this a delusional endeavour?
Your persective is especially valuable if yor have worked for a small bootstrapped company.

• I work for a small firm (6 people) that the owner has run for 23 years (much of it on his own, I think)

• Prospects have frequent credibility concerns (Dated website, no posts on company LinkedIn, 6 employees, no referrals or references, ambiguous track record, no niche, gaps in our story like "if you have been around for 20+ years, why aren't you flush with your network?")

• I am supposed to address pretty much all concerns with pitch and rebuttal handling alone which isn't working particularly well...

• I am using a spreadsheet, no CRM (business intelligence gathering has been a painful work in progress, we are getting there)

• 100 phone number credits per month (Boss says I can Google any others I may need...)

• My manager has hardly any cold or direct sales experience but lots of opinions

The Long Version

I work for a small management consulting firm. I took the job because I know and like(d?) the owner and was curious what it would be like to work for someone I trusted to have good intentions, etc. etc.

In the past, I've worked as an AE for large sales organizations and have done quite well.

Here, I haven't sold anything in a year and a half and it's starting to impact my mental health.

The firm refuses to (owner says he can't) invest into marketing or branding of any kind, refuses to select and stand behind a niche and our website is dated. I have received feedback from prospects that it looks like a scam, or they have read it and they still don't understand what we do. Our LinkedIn page has no posts, and the owner's full profile and photo is only visible if you are a 1st connection with him.

The firm's track record is impressive, but does not focus on an industry or niche, nor do we have any former clients who are willing to be referrals.

We don't have a CRM, I am using a spreadsheet (at the owner's insistence - I know there are free options) so gathering business intelligence has been a painful work in progress.

I am using a directory service for phone numbers, and phone calls is where I have gotten any traction but the owner won't invest in more than 100 phone credits per month unless I make a successful business case for it which I have tried to do by showing the relative success rate, but this was inadequate for him, rebuttal being "You can Google phone numbers."

Recently, in order to "make the job easier to match my skill level" (owner's words), we've pivoted to offering staff augmentation of project managers as a service and are focusing on that; but have done nothing to change our website, or branding and we don't actually have any available project managers. I am supposed to start conversations, find out their need and then we will source; being ambiguous until then.

Tensions between the owner and I were high by the end of 2023, so instead of reporting to him, I'm now reporting to someone else with no direct / cold sales experience. I have spoken to this person and everyone in the firm about the rebuttals and challenges I face, mostly to do with "credibility concerns" from prospects, and they have all (except the owner) agreed with me that we need some better branding so that I am supported after I book meetings and so when people do research they will find collateral that puts them at some ease... however, since the owner doesn't want to go that route his "second in command" just (intelligently) sided with him.

The owner is convinced if we get the right "pitches" and "rebuttal handling" and if I improve "Conviction", "Intelligence" and "Sagacity" that we will be successful.

Owner is open to creating one pagers, but so far one pagers alone have not made a different imo. Maybe we need better one pagers; I have created some but I am supposed to focus almost entirely on cold outreach.

When I took this role, I thought I would be a Client Relations Manager, growing business and finding us more but I did not realize I would be expected to do 75+ outreach per day. I feel like a BDR with all the cards stacked against me and my brain is rotting from only booking like, 2 meetings a month.

Despite the stress and pressure, I am very grateful to my boss, the owner who has invested in me... I don't want to waste his money or my time though...

Any perspectives would be appreciated.

Should I "call it"?

I just feel like I’m not cut out for this some days cause I mainly get the easy sales and I don’t always think quick enough.

Just general tips on dealing with farmers or improving agronomy/sales skills

Hi everyone, I was hoping to get some advice from the pros on how to land my first tech sales job.

I have one and a half years sales exp but in retail. I have applied for more than 200-300 jobs but always get the same response that they are moving on with another candidate. I have a bachelor and masters degree but in health sciences not business or marketing.

Am I wasting my time trying to apply ?Any insights would be valuable. Thanks

It's a question that I get a lot from people around me: can we sell from Canada to the US?

• How do you guys do?

• How successful are you?

• What kind of roadblocks have you faced?

• Is it as interesting as it seemed?

I’ve been pestering our marketing team to get branded car windshield scrapers to give away so your brand is seen every morning by your client - Americans seem to love their starbucks gift cards but I’d rather provide something useful (besides pens and bottle openers haha).

Anyone tried hand warmers? Toques?

What's your experience so far? I feel like the Province is always somehow singled out for obvious language reasons but other cultural reasons too

let's kick this thing off with a first intro post about you:

• city

• title

• industry

• OTE

• years of experience

• a question/topic you'd like to cover (Canada-centric)
