Exact Data reviews about "commission"

When you are first hired, you are expected to make 100+ calls a day and cycle through old company leads that didn't purchase data until you can make 6 sales in which you get 2 months to do so? But thats it. Once you get promoted you never actually get commission unless you find a wale client and event then some of the most talented people have left because every time you make commission the goal gets pushed ever further so ensure they don't have to pay you out.

Don picks some iffy tunes 4/5 days of the week. Sorry Don

Non-livable wages, "draw" structure commission that is not made clear during interview process- this ensures you'll essentially never see a single cent of commission, non-existent training program, calling leads that have been asked to be removed from the CRM multiple times yet they remain as a "prospect" for the new hires, insane metrics tracking-you'll have someone pouring over the numbers every single day and letting you know if you made enough pointless calls the day before, puppy mill hiring style-hire/fire at least 5 people a week. This list could go on forever. The fact of the matter is that this is essentially a minimum wage, call center job they sell as a sales gig. You'll be asked to loosen your morals a bit and employ any method or tactic possible to close deals. This includes lying to customers about the service you offer, lying about product capabilities/guarantees, and fighting with customers who purchased marketing materials and were completely unsatisfied (this happens all the time and Exact Data will do whatever it takes to keep that customers' money). If you're living at home with Mom and Dad and don't have real world expenses, this could be a place to earn a bit of experience before moving on to a real job.

"not cold calling" but 100% is. 150 dials required in training, 15 sales to graduate and receive commission, the thrown into the draw system for pay.

There is high turnover early on. Micromanagement is sometimes an issue.

Treat you like a child you will never see a commission check

Most sales people never reach commission. Product is not suited for companies without large marketing budgets. New highr department made up over half the company. They were not payed commission, and the majority of fresh leads went to this department rather more experienced reps.

The nonstop calling can get very annoying and tiring.
