ReminderMedia Reviews

Pros

99% of the people at this company are extremely genuine and want each other to succeed. The expectations of leadership are high, but they are fair, and help is always available to those who ask for it (and those who don't.) The number of people in this company who truly buy into the vision of RM is impressive. I always find it odd when companies talk about "drinking the kool-aid" since the origin of that saying didn't work out too well for originators, however, at ReminderMedia, drinking the Kool-Aid is more associated with a refreshing tropical cooler to enjoy while gleefully doing your job. If you are lucky enough to work for ReminderMedia, you should drink the Kool-Aid, "it's grrrrreat!" - Tony the Tiger. The CEO of ReminderMedia is an incredibly talented and passionate genius. The guy loves the company he built and will sit at ANY desk in the entire building in an effort to keep his finger on the pulse of his business and keep a strong understanding of what his employees are dealing with. The President of the company is also a star. He loves to use his hands when he talks, and enjoys a good confetti cannon, however his true passion is helping as many people find success, including his own team. Almost all of the Senior Level Leaders are fantastic. It is clear in a quick conversation that they know what they are talking about and they have a true passion for what ReminderMedia does. There is a very small sample of senior leaders (1) who seem to stab backwards, if you figure out who that person is, be very careful questioning their ideas, it probably won't work out in your favor. Luckily, ReminderMedia is a sum of it's parts, and the good FAR outweighs the bad.

Cons

None of the cons are anything more than the simple things that you will find at any company I would be hard pressed to point out any ReminderMedia specific cons. Certainly nothing that would have a serious impact on how I would rate the company as a whole. KPI's do not ALWAYS show the whole story of an employees day in CS, which can cause some frustration. Basically, this place rocks, and there is no reason anyone wouldn't be able to make some money here.

Pros

Great pay Great people Great culture Great leadership

Cons

Changes made with no advance notice at times that effect little aspects of the job

Pros

This was the first sales job that I struggled with. Every other sales gig I have ever had just came naturally. See below. I’d like to preface this review with the following: This is the ONLY review you need to read. I’ve been on both sides of the coin here (sales and the sales management team, often back and forth from each) so grab some pop corn and let’s begin. 1. This place is full of amazing people that TRULY care about you. Managers and trainers are paid off of your sales, so EVERYONE training and coaching you is 100% in your corner. I’m speaking from first hand experience training new employees. I would literally look at new hires with excitement as they were the only way I’d make money. If you’re worried about being left in the dust and forgotten, that is not how RM is structured to be. Your trainer/leader won’t eat if you don’t sell. There is significant interest in you succeeding here. Yes, some people fail and fall off, but that’s unfortunately out of the hand of anyone. If you’re mentally tough and ready to work hard, call the recruiters and find a way here. 2. People tend to hate on the CEO getting in your face/cubicle trying to push you (sometimes I did too)... The best advice I ever received on the matter was “please name another multi millionaire that you know that’s willing to spend hours on end trying to make you better.” Can you name another? Didn’t think so. Personally, I don’t even know another millionaire. I’d literally have to google one, but that’s not the point here. The point is the guy built this company from a garage, and 15 years later is still devoting time to new employee’s grasp on the sales process. If he gets in your face, LISTEN. If you don’t like an intense and passionate leader, then you won’t make it anywhere let alone here. 3. There is significant money to be made. They literally pay you more money than you collect per sale. Example: If you sell something worth $1, remindermedia will pay you (as the sales rep) $1.50. Get the point? If you like making money, find a way to get a job here. I made more money than my friends that graduated from med school, and it isn’t rocket science to sell here. Overall, if you want an opportunity to make some serious money, than this is the time to get a seat here. Once you start closing sales, you’ll sell to warm leads which is often like taking candy from a small child. If you’re willing to dial your butt off, constructively deal with rejection, and can be OK with a challenging first month or two... get a seat here. The money is bananas. PS: they also have free bananas. Tons of other fruit too. Not just bananas... there are apples too. Snacks, pizza, yogurt, pretzels, etc etc... it’ll help get you by during a tough day. The manager is the man. Would recommend to a friend. Other reps that leave often ask to come back. That tells you a lot about the leadership here. #barz

Cons

Chill with the flip flop on policies. Pick some rules. Ride it out for at least a year. See what happens. Change for the following year. And repeat... TL to caller ratio is way off. Need more products - sell the crm and the software. The 48 pages won’t get you to $100mil alone (for real), but the crm will... put that baby into play and let it roar.
