My Salary Increase but now company has increased my Threshold – please give opinion/advice

Subject: Salary Increase Concerns: Need Your Advice

I recently received a salary increase from £28k to £30k, with the potential to reach £32k after billing an additional £50k. While I’m thrilled about this raise, there’s a catch: my company is increasing my commission threshold from £4k to £5k, while maintaining a 30% rate on earnings beyond that threshold.

With my new responsibilities of training two junior associates, this change concerns me. Instead of feeling more motivated, I feel like I’m losing out financially. The new threshold means that I’ll actually earn £300 less in the long run, based on the new structure.

I’m considering approaching my manager to discuss keeping my original commission structure, as it feels more rewarding given my current workload. I would appreciate any thoughts or advice on how to handle this situation. What do you think?

Job Market Resources Needed!

Hello everyone,

I’m currently seeking comprehensive data on job markets in Europe, the USA, and Canada. I’m particularly interested in websites, reports, or studies that provide in-depth information about various job roles, including salary ranges, company sizes, and other pertinent details.

My aim is to better understand the job landscapes in these areas to improve my recruitment efforts. If you know of any trustworthy sources or detailed studies that offer this kind of data, I would be very grateful for your recommendations.

Additionally, if there are professionals or services that specialize in creating detailed job market reports or data analysis, I’m open to suggestions on where to find them or how to get in touch with their services.

Need help to practice sourcing for interviews

Looking for assistance with candidate sourcing for interviews!

I’m tasked with sourcing mid-level candidates (3+ years of experience) for Sales and Business Development positions within Germany’s telecom sector. However, I lack experience in sourcing for commercial roles and don’t have access to LinkedIn Recruiter or any paid job platforms. What’s the best approach to take?

I created an AI Tool that can bulk process 1,000s of CVs and conduct pre-screening interviews

Introducing my newly developed AI tool that can efficiently process thousands of CVs and conduct pre-screening interviews!

Many of my LinkedIn connections express a desire for feedback on every job application, while recruiters often find this unfeasible due to the sheer volume of CVs they handle for each position.

Imagine a customizable AI solution that can:
– Conduct high-level pre-screening interviews before an application is submitted, filtering candidates based on essential criteria.
– Process hundreds of CVs by aligning them with detailed job descriptions and comprehensive requirements.
– Offer customization options for the filtering process, including factors such as location, job type, skills, experience, and more.

I’ve created a proof of concept that I believe performs exceptionally well!

I’d love to hear your thoughts and any concerns you might have about using a tool like this!

Meeting with a recruiter – tips?

Meeting with a recruiter – any advice?

I’m aiming for a minimum salary of £35,000 in my next role.

During our recent phone conversation, the recruiter mentioned that I should consider a salary range of £28,000 to £29,000 if the company offers training.

I want to clearly communicate that my minimum expectation is £35,000, though I could be flexible to around £32,000 to £34,000 for positions with strong training programs.

How can I ensure that our in-person meeting is effective and doesn’t lead to a low-balling situation?

“What team are you on, Cat or Dog?”

“Which side do you choose: Cat or Dog?”

Recently, a door-to-door salesperson arrived at my home.

As soon as I opened the door, I noticed his jacket, his name tag with his face, and a clipboard in hand. I realized then that I’d have to pause my FIFA game for a while.

Here’s how the encounter unfolded:

• He greeted me with an exaggerated smile and inquired about my day.
• He made a big deal about how I was the first person to reciprocate his question—“not bad, yours?” (It’s England; I find that hard to believe.)
• He asked if I was Team Cat or Team Dog.
• Despite my visible impatience and attempts to exit the conversation, he continued to follow his pitch.
• When I told him I was busy, he offered to return in three hours, but I eventually declined.

What struck me is that, despite being a Sales/Business Development coach and selling every day, I almost gave him false hope by suggesting he could come back later.

I had to consciously resist that impulse.

Essentially, he was trying to schedule a meeting that I would have ghosted or attended without any intention of purchasing.

Sound familiar?

Had he given me an easy way out early on, we could have avoided a few awkward minutes in the first ten seconds.

Remember, a person who isn’t interested will never buy, so it’s best to move them off the call and out of your funnel swiftly. This applies just as much when selling job opportunities to candidates.

And if your current employer rewards this kind of behavior with unreasonable KPIs, it might be time to search for a new position.
