Working at Cogent Communications in Washington, DC: 2 Employee Reviews

Cogent Communications Employee

in Washington, DC

"I've worked for Cogent Communications since 2017 as a NAM (National Account Manager). Cogent's service offering is in the bullseye of the commodity play so it's always about price, price, price. Per the three sales segments, the RAM segment (Regional Account Manager) is a good opportunity for a person with little or no sales / technical experience to get their feet wet with a lower level of tech sales. In all three sales segments, you do get a long ramp but I wouldn't recommend the other two segments - NAM and GAM (National Account Manager Global Account Manager). These two positions are dying on the vine due to what is a very heavy market saturation within the most commoditized part of the tech sector with the net effect being that 98% of the prospects you try to work are already being worked by another Cogent rep."
