Positive Reviews From Skillsoft Employees
- What are some of the best things about your team?All meetings follow an agenda
- What is the best part about your compensation package?Probably the insurance benefit package
- What did you like most about the interview process?I liked that I had to do a presentation and product demonstration. Inalso loved the flexibility of location as meeting in person was tricky for me with work.
Constructive Feedback From Skillsoft Employees
- Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?I need to feel like I contribute to something meaningful and that people care.
- Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?I have a fair salary, but territories are poorly structured. More than half of Growth accounts do not actually have contracts with the company & should be acquisition accounts. Reps are paid less on Acquisition than Growth despite Acquisition being harder deals to close. This makes OTE unrealistic.
- What's going wrong and how can it be improved?Because sales territories are so frequently changed, customers do not build a relationship with sales teams which prevents them from being loyal & being apt to buy more. Equally distribute actual customers amongst the territories, make quotas reasonable, and keep account assignments stable.
