What are the usual career advancement opportunities for sales professionals at DataRails?

Former Employee · Accepted Answer

Hey, CRO here :-)

At Datarails, we prioritize promoting from within and creating clear pathways for career growth. All of our sales managers and directors started as individual contributors. We believe in nurturing our talent and providing opportunities for those who excel and show leadership potential.

As for the anonymous feedback: I'm sorry to hear you feel that way. As someone who’s never worked in sales, I must have done a great job convincing our board otherwise!

It's funny you started with "not much" regarding career advancement while also mentioning that the team is "inexperienced." That’s what happens when you promote from within and actually DO have career advancement opportunities.

However, I need to address something important. It’s disheartening to hear negative comments about colleagues who have been promoted after achieving amazing results and earning the respect and admiration of everyone. Criticizing them is not only unfair but also non-collegial. If you’ve got a bone to pick, aim it at me as the CRO, but let’s leave your hardworking and genuinely nice colleagues and managers out of it. Those who got promoted didn’t climb the ranks by sucking up; they did it by being on top of the sales boards and maintaining a positive attitude.

Not much. The sales team is very inexperienced and promotions are up to whoever sucks up the most to the "CRO."

Important to note that the head of sales, CRO, has no sales acumen and never worked in sales.

Current Employee · Answer

It depends on how much you suck up to leadership.

There is not much advancement, occasionally they will do title bumps, but no increase in pay.

Current Employee · Answer

Depends on your definition of advancement. People got title bumps but on the sales and presales side, there is nobody experienced to learn from in a leadership role
