And that was the point where he said, we hired 2 new people! There were days were our team of 4 had zero demos for 2-3 days straight. By March I was lucky if I had 2 demos a day. When I a started Happyfox in December I had 6 demos a day, it was hard to take a lunch. As mentioned there were 2 sales people and our job was to demo our product by consumer set appointments. We then began to hire additional people, from the outside pany is growing. I was told to try harder and if I couldn't hit by later in the year to start looking for another job. I assumed like in most cases when a goal is set that is unachievable by both of your sales people things would be reassessed but I was wrong. Closest I was ever able to sell was 60% to quota, and after this continued to happen i brought this up to the CEO that maybe we need to relook at expectation and reset goals. But I soon realized the quotas that were set buy the CEO were pulled out of the air with no support to these targets actually being able to be hit. I have been in sales for 15+ years and proudly been the top producer at each company I have worked for so when i told told quotas and OTE upon being hired, I knew I would have no issues blowing those numbers out of the water. With this being a start up I understood there would be growing pains and bumps in the road especially with being only the 2nd sales person hired. Unfortunately everything that was told me was a complete oversell. I took this job almost a year ago because I wanted to be a part of a ground level team at a start up and help build and sell a great product. Last but not least, working here really spark inspiration on every level.
There is always organic fruit, snacks and drinks for us to enjoy. (Our CEO is often in the middle of a corn hole competition w/ our account executives mid day).Īs a side note, the fully stocked pantry and fridge is amazing. Everyone that works here is amazing! We all work hard, but also make time to play. I have definitely gained new skills and responsibilities while working with a team that is highly passionate and enthusiastic. I'm also able to wear a lot of hats and gain experience in a breadth of areas from business strategy and HR to finance. I am not surrounded in a bureaucratic setting where I'm a small cog in a large machine. For example, I feel like everything I do here makes a difference. The CEO is very involved in every aspect of the business and is readily available to support you and make sure you are successful in whatever role you are in.Īfter working in a myriad of environments and institutions, working at Happyfox offers a unique environment and experience that is unique to its own. There is never a dull moment working here at Happyfox.
