Signpost Reviews

Pros

• High-Volume Cold Call Sales – While most wouldn't list this as a Pro, it is the specific reason Signpost helps employees new to sales, not only grasp it, but to excel in it. The volume gives loads of experience in a very short period of time. It's also an excellent challenge.

   • World-Class Training – If you are hired at Signpost in the first place, and don't make it through the training program (A 2-Month Ramp with every resource available,) it's because you didn't work hard enough.

• There isn't room for everyone, and Signpost is a meritocracy. – This is a Pro for me, because I believe in surrounding yourself with the best of the best. Signpost is a lean machine, and doesn't have room for slack. They're forgiving, but if you can't hit your numbers, you're out!

Advice to Management

Continue to focus more & more on the well being of your employees! People who stay at Signpost, stay for the people. Happy employees are passionate employees!

Pros

Lots of good people, training is top notch and the culture is great. The product works well and solves problems for small businesses.

Advice to Management

Keep it up!

Pros

I enjoy selling a product I believe in, this was not the case at past companies. 3 of my family members signed up and the results are strong. The training and support from mgmt is second to none, I am very impressed with the investment in the team. Great CEO and vision.

Pros

Signpost is an awesome place to work! Not only does everyone have your back in a usually very cut-throat, competitive environment, but colleagues go above and beyond to ensure you are successful. The work/life balance is also amazing. I honestly enjoy coming in to work day in and day out to not only crush the phones, but also spend time with the many friends I have made. There are several company wide bonding events that really bring everyone closer. And if you enjoy some ping-pong and some Friday afternoon keg action, you are in the right place!!

Pros

- You'll receive the best sales training out there with great support from the manager teams. It is hard work, and a grind but you will develop skills that only a seasoned salesperson can achieve.
- Fun happy hour events, quarterly outings as an office, monthly outings as a team, snacks and a keg, an overall fun and engaging community. Worked at the Denver office for almost two years, some of the best people I know were from Signpost.
- Adequate ramp up process for new hires
- close to downtown
- Very chill and laid back environment: no micromanaging, no dress code or requirements, play whatever music you want, themed dress days, understanding managers, flexible time off schedule.
-Health benefits at Signpost are above average compared to other tech start ups

*** The managers at Signpost truly are the reason I stayed as long as I did, Sales is a grind and the closing positions at SP can be incredibly daunting, disappointing, and exhausting. But the support and friendship I got from my managers pushed me to work hard, reach my potential, and improve my overall sales skills.

Advice to Management

- Hire more account managers, I talked to many SP clients that didn't feel they were getting the assistance or customer support they needed, the team you have is great so invest in building it.
-Find a way to make the product more relevant, partnership I feel should be a major priority
- Change the promotion structure to look at the rep's performance over the course of the quarter and not month to month. Too many reps have amazing months back to back and its discouraging when you don't qualify for a pay raise you clearly deserve just because you had a few (normal) hiccups in your sales career.
-Buy new microwaves - you pay a lot for a keg, a majority of the office would gladly give up a keg or two to have better appliances.

Beer and snacks
Office is nice
