LoopNet reviews about "training"

It's sales? I don't belong in sales, so I think my review is naturally going to biased. Poor base salary, you are basically below the poverty level for SF. Sure you make commission, but that one paycheck where you don't make any or very little, it really hurts. The call time is awful, when I worked there you had to be in at exactly 7:30am. Which is great to beat the traffic, but when you're commuting (and let's be honest where else are you going to live, but far away when you make so little), it blows.

It is a growing division and feels like a start up company. With that are some learning curves and growing pains.

Treated like dirt. CEO is a narsissit Training was a joke Simply toxic

awful leadership, change goals often, no explanations, given double quotas, micromanaging, track your every move, things are black or white, no job security in sales, they will put you on a pip for any of the dozen metrics you dont hit, not great product, bad reputation among clients

Inside sales your in a cubical sell the same thing over and over, Lack of product variety.

Tough sales environment and product to sell

Limited career growth opportunities. CoStar acquisition ripped the culture out of LoopNet and it reflects throughout the company.

-Low commission structure -You are the typical 'telemarketer' reaching out to people who fill out online lead forms. Those are not 'warm' leads, there simply giving there name number and email address to get free access to the website. then you call and harass them to pay for a premium membership so they can see more properties and get more exposure. Same pitch, every day. Redundant, tedious, hard-pressurized selling tactics -System is built for high turnover, that tells you something right there -Micro managing 'regional managers', whose only job is to 'help' you hit your target. AKA breathe down your back and ask you whats going on, meanwhile bringing no value to the table. -LOTS of cold calling. 80+ a day. (very respectable when applying for future sales positions) Despite all the cons, I learned a lot of great basic selling skills, gained phone presence and confidence, and I was able to land a legit sales job because of what I learned at LoopNet. make the most of it while you're there, stay a year to put on your resume and get out.

desperate, bleeding revenue, trying to get new reps to stop the bleeding from their past mistakes. WAY to much time spent by each rep looking in the CRM to see if they can call the prospect.
