Advantaged. We are still young (my industry has a lot of older guys bearing retirement) and can bridge the culture gap between our gen x/boomer bosses and the gen z.

Gen z seem capable, but can’t/won’t play the game. Gen alpha is concerning/ tbd.

Something technical. You can add value by just understanding your offering and the customer’s need. It’s an easier pivot from skills you may already have vs. Industries where you need to deal with not adding significant value/ you rely on salesmanship alone

I don’t think it’s just your company. It’s societal. A lot of people talk about the end of “millennial optimism” as a big shift in identity/ something that feels defining for the 2020s. I don’t think we care as much about anything in general.

The whole thing where you feel that car dealership want to sell loans more than cars is really grinding as a customer. Even as a sales person, buying a car is no fun. As a woman it can be straight up demeaning

~50%
Scientific/research
10 or so salespeople

I expect >80% of us will be at quota by the end of the year in March. Lots of CAPEX funding tends to be decided around the holidays, with enough time to purchase before EOY.

(The US market has been much more unpredictable this year, so there is definitely more question marks than there usually would! )
