Pros
Great pay. When you consider you could work from anywhere and the team is very supportive of this lifestyle. I never had issues relocating to cheaper places for my work. We had a very diverse team and smart wonderful people. I miss them greatly. The benefits of having your own coach while your at the company is quite unique. You definitely get immediate benefit from the product as you sell it. At the time I needed to learn a lot. My coach was excellent and the product was therefore quite strong. I also studied Spanish 1:1 with another great coach. It is a start-up though so you have to roll with the punches. I think ideal person is detail-oriented, knows how to manage-up, and is constantly selling themselves in this role. Not only should you produce results, but you should show your thinking on how you'll continue to do so.
Cons
Hierarchy is very important. This may look like a non-traditional sales org. In some ways it really is. Though the ideal person would show up to all meetings on time, maintain constant professionalism, and would come to every meeting organized and prepared. Operationally this is a very traditional team with tons of meetings. These meetings may be cumbersome, but are very important to management and team culture. This leaves less time to sell. If you can follow directions, show how much work you are doing, then you'll quickly earn respect from the team. While in most sales roles you are numbers focused this role is requires lots of team participation while balancing your workload. There is somewhat clear way the team wants you to sell. It wasn't clear what attainable quota was. Another issue was that the team was led by Marketing rather than Sales. This role is part of Marketing. Maintain a low-ego and spend the majority of your time focused on Marketing goals rather than Sales goals.
