Pros

Work from home. You can essentially set your daily start time as long as you make face-to-face sales visits and follow-up phone calls. Decent commission and bonus pay. Hibu gives outside sales reps an honest opportunity to prove themselves. Great team members. Existing client base with add-on sale potential.

Cons

This is a face-to-face prospecting/cold calling position. If you have any fears or negative feelings about walking into a business unannounced and pitching them on digital marketing? Do yourself a favor don't take a sales position with this company. Two weeks of training in King-of-Prussia, PA. Training is purposely intense and stressful to weed out those they perceive as unable to handle their sales approach. Be ready for a grueling process. Hibu is placing a lot of pressure on reps with new sales. If you take a position with this company, they expect a fast pace and many visits. The future in digital advertising is dicey to say the least. I believe this is a shrinking market as it is becoming easier for businesses to do it yourself digital advertising. More and more micromanaging.

Pros

reat place to work! They truly care about their employees and create an environment where people feel supported and valued. The managers are amazing—they encourage you, challenge you, and push you every day to grow and succeed. It’s a team that genuinely wants to see you win.

Cons

I would recommend doing a little more research and qualification before passing leads over to the reps. Some leads are labeled as ‘hot,’ but after speaking with them, they often don’t have the urgency, need, or buying intent expected. A stronger qualification process would help the sales team focus their time on opportunities that are truly ready to move forward.

Pros

autonomy, product is seemingly good

Cons

Overall a terrible sales org, commission structure is nonsense and very low percent of reps are on the high tier, including reps that are top performers being on the mid or low tier commission. You are responsible for prospecting, closing, and account management so job gets harder the longer you are there. Force you into long meetings so the VP can show everyone Christopher Voss masterclass videos that are irrelevant. Sales contests where the reward is literally 5 dollars. Training is completely disconnected from how the job actually is, even down to the tech stack they teach you. Sales planning does nothing and does not provide any new leads or any sales tools that work. They do not even have a list of discovery questions to provide you. No one uses any of their provided tech stack you just have to figure out your own processes with no support. Very low base salary which they will lower if you get put on PIP. Extremely unstructured PIP program with no concrete numbers or explanation for how to get off of PIP. Extreme favoritism at the managerial level.
