Pros
I worked at Global Insight Conferences in a sales role and found it to be a genuinely strong environment for anyone looking to develop quickly. It’s a fast-paced, target-driven role, but if you’re motivated and resilient, the rewards are there.
Management are hands-on and performance-focused, but they also invest time in coaching. If you’re willing to listen and apply what you’re taught, you improve quickly - especially in areas like objection handling, pipeline management, and closing.
The earning potential is real and commission is uncapped. High performers are recognised and progression opportunities are available for those who consistently hit targets.
The culture is energetic and ambitious. It suits people who enjoy a competitive environment and want to be surrounded by others pushing themselves. It’s not a passive job - you need drive and self-discipline - but that’s also what makes it rewarding.
Cons
Fast paced environment means some extra hours if you want to be a top flyer.
