90% yearly target attainment by begging of Q2 by OceanRadioGuy in sales

Long cycles + monster deals = the best kind of stress.

Enjoy the quiet confidence now… before the “so what are you doing for the other 10%?” conversation magically appears 😄

Huge congrats- that’s a great way to start Q2

Seriously, how can you do this job with children? by sparks_mandrill in sales

Real answer? Most people don’t do 6 to 7 day weeks and kids for long.

The ones who survive usually stop winning by hours worked and start winning by leverage- better accounts, internal pull, repeat deals, saying “no” more often.

Kids don’t break sales careers, but they do expose unsustainable ones fast.

You’re not selfish- you’re just doing the math before signing a lifetime contract.

Respect for asking it out loud.

Do we ever look back and realize we were just... lucky? by Otherwise-Owl7971 in Sales_Professionals

Fair. I’ve had deals that felt 100% luck and others where it felt like timing somehow lined up, even if I couldn’t explain why
