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

Great company and fun environment to work
Tons of she's training and coaching to help you become a great sales rep
Open line of communication to executives and managers
Great office location

Pros

Training Program - one of the best sales training programs I have been a part of in my sales career. You get a lot of hands-on training in the job and I definitely felt that I was set up for success in the role. The job can be challenging but I felt supported and confident after going through the first couple weeks of training.

Culture/People - really welcoming environment. Phone sales is tough so you need good people next to you and I feel that we have that in our office. Everyone is willing to help out and answer questions and the group seems to really care about each other.

Advice to Management

Keep listening to feedback and trying to improve!

Pros

Awesome People to work around

Pros

Start up environment is fun and electric. The C-level leadership is great and it’s mainly a young crowd. Early to mid 20s.

Advice to Management

The training managers represent the company and a bit more professionalism should be displayed. As a leader, they should know what is appropriate to say and what isn’t. Retraining on effective communication would help.

Pros

*Best sales training program in Denver - Seriously, I've worked at a few sales orgs since, and have always felt like I had the best foundation. The training program is thorough, and the skills I developed here made a huge impact at my job now. I wouldn't have been able to succeed without the foundation I learned at SP.
*The people - Met some of my best friends here, still hang out to this day. Genuinely good people that help you push through the grind.
*Management - Local management cares, and always wants to make sure you're being heard, and my manager always went to bat for me to hit my goal. Execs were less present, but never difficult to get a hold of them if you wanted, usually came by once a quarter.
*Product is solid - Having sold a few other products since SP, I feel way better about the product than when I was there and only focused on my merchants that cancelled. It's not perfect, but compared to other solutions it really is a good solution.

Advice to Management

*Less change - The more you switch things up, the harder it is to get into a groove. Play to your strengths.
*More pay - Level up the base

Pros

Training, Benefits, Food & Snacks, Upward Growth, Potential to make some good money, goal oriented, M-F work, good group of people to work with.

Advice to Management

Everything is pretty good. Support is good and the team aspect is definitely in place. The resources to learn and stay on one's game is all there.

Pros

Note: This review is from the perspective of a sales position

- Autonomy: A major benefit of Signpost is that you get to manage your sales funnel (prospect to close) by yourself. No need to start off as an SDR for a few months - within the first few weeks you can close your own deals. Additionally, at Signpost, you can pitch ANY kind of small business. This aspect lends itself to an interesting job that has no lack of variety (in the morning you can be talking to home contractors and in the afternoon you can be talking to yoga studio owners - there's no way you can get bored talking to the different kinds of personalities of these people). Plus, you get to learn about the different industries.

- Work Culture/Mission: Everyone on the sales floor has your back - from your fellow salesman, up through management, and even the VP and Director. It doesn't matter whose team you're on, everyone wants you to succeed. Additionally, Signpost has a clearly defined mission: help small businesses grow. You can feel that (at least for senior management) the company actually believes in this mission - plenty of them use Signpost for their own side businesses.

- Phenomenal training program: Signpost has an awesome training program. You learn everything you need to know about sales in the first few weeks, and within the first month you can make your own sale (even starting from no sales experience). Something that's great about the training program is that you get to learn from ALL the managers. You learn about different sales techniques and styles, while still developing your own. Part of this is that all the managers know exactly what they're doing; all the managers (and senior reps) are exceptional sales people in their own right.

Advice to Management

This is a great company with some great tech - and a mission that actually resonates with plenty of people. The best advice I can give is to offer higher base salaries. This would certainly help with retaining talent, and it would give the sales reps (especially the junior ones) some peace of mind, if they're having a slow month.

Pros

Meritocracy. Everyone is treated fairly. Management is always available to help

Pros

-Amazing training program
- Managing is supportive and helpful
- Great environment
