Great sales experience to kick off your career
Pros
I really liked the structure for the personal development growth, because one of my biggest motivation to work for Nextlevel was my growth as a sales person. - clear career growth opportunities - being able to influence my own paycheck - opportunity to travel from time to time - getting deep insights in pharma and medical device industry - constant progress as a sales person + training - teambuildings :) - great CEO and Managing Director - 2 Australian guys - amazing small group of people from all over the world - great international environment - young environment - learning the sales game and understand the basics of B2B selling was huge to me - you're responsible for your own results - that's a great preparation if you some day want to become an entrepreneur - ability to motivate and speak in front of a group - ability to hire people, conduct interviews via phone and face to face - training people and watching them grow is great once you hit senior level
Cons
- in sales, there are lot of ego's combating each other, and no one wants to admit that they are wrong, which often created a tense and not productive atmosphere in a sales team - some people didn't follow the standard process and nothing happened, which was demotivating for others - too much internal politics between sales people and sort of a power struggle, which didn't make sense to me and it was a huge turn off - training people that shouldn't be hired in the first place is a huge waste of time - sometimes you'll have to work different hours - 11 - 8 PM- since you'll be working on American events, and I didn't enjoy that because for a few months you'll have no social life, because you'll be left with no energy at the end of the day. Especially if there's a period of 6 moths, where you have to do this, it's a reason to consider switching job. But for some people it works, so that's just a personal opinion.
