SAP Associate Client Partner reviews

If you are an experienced consulting sales rep and considering a job with SAP Services, I give you this advice: SAP Services is quickly turning into a SUPPORT group. It's capabilities, service offerings and resources have been decimated to the point where you will just sell SUPPORT services. (Ask about "One Service" or about the number of consultants employed year over year during your interview and listen carefully to the answer.) Despite what they tell you, the job is NOT a true Sales role. You'll mostly be a flunky of the license reps who will favor external partners. Your management will be powerless to support you, but will hold you accountable for their failed strategies. Most of them have never been front line sales people. Many of them are buddies from past jobs at other companies. Key to Success: If you you are a shameless self-promoting sycophant, you'll do well here. Your main sale will be to promote yourself to clueless management who assign accounts based on how much you kiss up to them. ACCOUNT ASSIGNMENT WILL MAKE OR BREAK YOU. Last year (2014) approx 10% of the Services reps made their quotas. Good Luck!

- Sales environment is tuff but rewarding - Can be bureaucratic and political but what large company isn't.
