Testimonials From Past Sageworks Employees
How did working at Sageworks better prepare you for the next step you took in your career?
Ryan Reid
"Sageworks gave me the opportunity to work in a fast paced, ever changing environment in which I quickly had to adapt to new challenges as the company grew. I realized how much a little bit of hard work can pay off, and I learned valuable sales techniques that I continue to employ today. I now feel comfortable talking to any level of decision maker within a company, and I have the confidence from my time at Sageworks that I can adapt and conquer any obstacles I face. I feel that I gained as much experience working at Sageworks for just under 2 years as I would have gained at another company for 10 years. "
Mindy Woolen
"Working at Sageworks taught me that I can do anything I set my mind to. Everyday presented new challenges and the learning curve was large for me, but when I look forward to my career, I am confident that I will exceed in each new step. Also, the level of responsibility that I took on in my position was great. Working at Sageworks prepared me for future management positions that will likely require a large responsibility level by allowing me to hone communication, organization, and analytical skills."
“The demands for being successful in any sales position requires a diligent approach to prospecting, selling and being able to close business. At Sageworks I was able to develop skills in all of these key areas that have helped me as I have moved on to other opportunities. The work environment allowed me to develop a method for being able to drive new opportunities, sell more effectively and hone the ability to move the deal across the finish line.”
Jeff Dowell
"Sageworks prepared me for the future by teaching the importance of individual accountability. Owning everything you come in contact with means never saying 'thats not part of my job description' and by working with that philisophy, it grows your skill sets and allows you to wear different hats. These abilities are transferrable to all job situations."

What did you like best about working at Sageworks?
Jeff Dowell
"I can definitely say that the people at Sageworks are some of the best in the world to work with. Even after moving on I continue to keep close tabs with many of my former associates. The ability to be in a work environment where I can talk with an associate one moment and literally be chatting with the CEO the next says a lot about the overall environment at Sageworks. In a sales environment where there is always pressure to perform it was great to know that the company from the top to the bottom was there to be supportive but to also do what was necessary to help get deals closed."
Lindsay L. Mangus, M.B.A
"The best part of Sageworks are the people. Its great to go to work everyday and be excited to see your friends. The company culture encourages working hard and playing hard. It's a fun work environment that will also challenge you."
“Respect. Sageworks isn't a place where titles mean a whole lot, and the managers and executives will honor and reward you for a job well done. I was able to come in, work hard, gain respect, and was quickly offered more and more responsibility. It doesn't matter if you've been at Sageworks for 6 months or 6 years. If you prove yourself and your aptitude in the beginning, then they will offer you every opportunity within the company as you continue to grow as an employee.”
Ryan Reid

What kind of advice would you give to people about coming to work at Sageworks?
Greg Pinnix
"Be prepared to work extremely hard but know that you’ll be recognized as a leader (in a relatively short period of time compared to most other companies) if you are able to consistently hit goals month in and month out."
“Sageworks isn't easy, but you probably wouldn't be hired if you were just looking for an easy job. Come in, hit the ground running from day 1, work hard, impress your colleagues with your success and ideas, and accept and ask for more and more responsibility as you prove yourself as a top producer.”
Ryan Reid
“Work hard. Sageworks is a great place for motivated and proactive professionals, and one will earn respect quickly by doing the best job possible and achieving results.”
Mindy Woolen
“Sageworks is focused on being a successful company and working with sales professionals who can get the job done. You need to be committed to being successful and apply a strict work ethic in order to be able to achieve your business and personal goals. I have been in other sales environments where the goals were not clear and many sales professionals didn’t seem to care whether they hit their numbers or not. I think you need to be committed to making yourself successful and be prepared that it may mean working outside of standard hours and making as many calls as it would take.”
Jeff Dowell
"Have clear expectations. You will work hard; you will work long; but you will be rewarded and recognized for your effort and contributions."
