Hey everyone! I’m in a bit of a pickle and could use some advice. I’ve got offers from both HubSpot and Salesforce for mid-market account executive roles. I’m trying to figure out which one to pick.
For HubSpot folks, how achievable are the quotas after the ramp-up period? Can you consistently hit them with solid effort, or is it more about getting lucky with your accounts?
As for Salesforce, the offer is for their financial services team. I know my territory there, which is nice, but I’m still unsure about how realistic their targets are.
Anyone have experience with either company? What’s your take on quota attainment? I’d really appreciate any insights you can share!
Thanks in advance for your help. This decision is keeping me up at night!
I’ve been with HubSpot for about 3 years now, and I can share some insights on the quota situation. After the ramp-up period, the targets are challenging but achievable. It’s not just about luck - your success really depends on your ability to build relationships and understand your clients’ needs.
One thing I appreciate about HubSpot is the support system. They provide solid training and resources to help you hit your numbers. That said, you still need to put in the work. I’ve found that consistently engaging with my accounts and staying on top of industry trends has helped me meet and sometimes exceed my quotas.
The mid-market space at HubSpot is growing, which means there are opportunities if you’re willing to dig in and get creative with your approach. It’s not always smooth sailing, but I’ve found it rewarding overall.
Just remember, whichever company you choose, your success will largely depend on your own effort and adaptability. Best of luck with your decision!
yo dawg, i’ve been at salesforce for a few years now. quota attainment can be tough, but its doable if u hustle. financial services team is solid, good territory helps. hubspot might be easier targets, but SF has better name recognition. go with ur gut, both r good choices tbh. good luck man!
