I’ve been applying to sales positions with a bullshit fake degree I photoshopped companied with a resume I copied that shows 10+ years of sales experience and I was just hired on a big company as a senior sales rep and I have zero clue what I’m doing. Any sales fags here that can quickly run me through the lingo? It’s a payment processing company. I think I’m basically selling payroll to companies ? I’m so fucked someone with knowledge pls help I really need this money

Payment processing is just transaction processing for companies. Just know your numbers and be friendly/not too pushy with your clients. Also, always be closing “ABC”. Find a way to get your client to be signing documents and paying you money. This is the essence of sales.

Former sales, and it's not as easy as cold calling or just randomly showing up at places. You can belt feed emails to up and coming companies, but a large portion of your work will come from upselling your existing product to current customers (basically, getting them to buy access to more features your company offers). Cozy up with existing customers and follow any leads. Eventually one will spill it as to knowing another company that'll need your company's service. Ask them politely to refer you to their point of contact they know.

Liking - obvious, if they like you they'll help you
Apeal to Authority - 4 out of 5 dentists recommend
Social Proof - monkey see monkey do
Scarcity - convince someone something is scarce then they are more likely to want it

No problem. Usually getting your foot in any door is a pain in the ass for entry level shit, let alone sales lead positions. It's all in your mindset: if you're an outgoing kind of person you'll be good to go. Absorb everything you learn like a sponge, in the event you get busted or they just plain let you go for underperforming numbers. You'll at least at that point made some contacts within that company itself and you can take the experience (and good references) to bolster your resume for your next stop.

Don’t overthink it. Mark Cuban is a good example of an excellent salesman. He got his start selling software and built his empire off of his fat commissions from that first sales gig. He sold software to companies iirc. He made a point to understand the software he was selling inside and out so he could demo it for potential clients. Do this for whatever it is you sell.

You didn't trick anyone. They just didn't bother to check because they know sales reps come and go every month. They plan on their being tons of turnover because they know sales reps get burnt out after 3-6 months and either fail or quit.

Protip!
"Senior sales rep" is a meaningless title. Companies make shit up like this all time time. others include:
>account manager
>client outreach specialist
>_____ consultant
>business development specialist
>account executive

Protip!
100k is the compensation they promise every retard who gets into sales but the caveat is it's based on the notion of you exceeding quota by double or more. (you won't do that for at least 12 months while you figure out what the fuck you're doing).

But anyway, if you really want to succeed you need to understand the sales process and decision making process of your customers. and you need to work hard.

I'll try to be helpful. There is always the lure of high commission on sales. Some smash it, many others are mediocre and under constant threat of losing their job.
The question is not what the potential commission is, it is the base salary. How high is your base salary? If it's mediocre, you don't have to worry too much.

btw, the sales process is usually some variation of the following:

1. identify the decision maker
2. discover their need or pain
3. develop that pain to the point that not addressing it becomes uncomfortable
4. offer a solution that fixes the problem
5. eliminate all objections (except price)
6. close
7. If they don't close on the first attempt, revert to their pain and try to close again - this is when they tell you their true objection. address it and attempt to close again; discount or negotiate price now if you have to (sometimes people just need to feel like they're getting a deal).


NEVER ATTEMPT TO SELL TO A PERSON WHO IS NOT THE DECISION MAKER. YOU WILL ONLY WASTE YOUR TIME DOING SO.
