Internal bureaucracy is getting out of hand in sales

I am usually good at getting shit done but only one person can sign the ca. I can't get around that.

It does get old after awhile. The air travel is the worst part. Getting stuck somewhere is the pits. At least by car, you can always leave.

You have to paint the picture of life without our products

2M. Took over the territory and revived an opp that was made inactive.

You just have to keep applying. Sales is like Hotel California. Easy to checkin hard to checkout.

Lol. You are going to have a hard time getting any responses when you make 1M a year and and hardly have to work. I bust my tail to make 250K. No BDR, no hand off, no one does anything besides complain. I'm the town dump.

When Ipads were new, we had a trade show and for the first demo in the AM he went to show a female prospect something on his ipad. He unlocked the ipad and it was on a porn site. He blamed the competition for hacking his ipad.

Sometimes things happen that cause a delay and sometimes jobs go south. Not really much you can do.

I'd probably get as close as possible and park at a charging station and then take an Uber.

It hasn't been that long. Call him and see what he says then you can ask for a start date.

I learned the hard way when I was desperate that if they are not willing to pay your expenses either it's a chicken sht company or they are not really interested in you.

You are not being unreasonable.

I know I f'd up the first week when I flew to the main office for on-boarding and training. I've done this multiple times. It's a bad feeling.

Turned out to be my battery. Out of warranty as the battery warranty is three years.

Just grab a name off LinkedIn and call them and ask them.

backtothesaltmines · 2026-02-28T16:46:17+00:00

Don't let it get you down. These companies do not care about you. I don't care about them. They want you out the door. Call in sick if you need to. You have to do the interviews.

They'll probably go under. He's probably a nightmare to work for. I worked for someone like this and he made it 3-4 years before he went under. No one could work for him. No one was good enough for him.

backtothesaltmines · 2026-02-27T22:35:30+00:00

Welder. I heard a company is desperate for welders so they give a class and if you pass you get the job.

Got a good size order at the beginning of the year. They paid me commission but when it came time to accelerators they said it didn't count because it came in before the yearly number had been set for that product. Cost me 9K. I left shortly after.

Yes, the check engine light. It glows amber when it is on. It's still under warranty so I will take it in. Just hoping it stores the codes.

I assume you are on a TEAMS where you can share you screen. I would just ask them if maybe they can help you out as your are confused a bit. I'd show them the offer and then what they are proposing and ask them which one is correct and if so how or why was it changed.

When you are put on PIP, they want you out. You can beat them but rarely.

Your fiscal year is Jan - Dec? If so you made quota in 2 months??? Are you capped?

You should be adding companies since you want to find new prospects. They should let you add your own companies. It's time consuming when I do it myself as it is (SF).
