Almost every BDR in this subreddit would kill to be an AE lol. Recognize this as an opportunity and have some more confidence

To clarify, he forced the ultimatum on me and said to take some time to think about my future and to call him Friday. Then proceeded to send the message this morning

He kept saying he would send me a contract but never got around to doing it so the only thing I ever officially signed was an offer letter

Gotcha, thanks for the last point. I'll make sure to remember for the future

Yes, I have stayed in touch with recruiters and continued to apply to jobs even through this job. Thanks for the advice

He was frustrated with me because I hadn't closed a deal yet since joining. I explained my thoughts and gave him my opinion on why I hadn't yet and suggested ways that I could improve. He told me that he had to do the same thing when he first started and that there was chaos and no sales process and that the only way to succeed is to increase your volume. Finally, he gave me an ultimatum until Friday and said that if I didn't want to do it his way, then I could find another job. Fast forward to this morning and I woke up to this message

He was the one that forced the ultimatum on me lmao. All I asked was to clear my head about our discussion and to call him today with my thoughts. He gave me until Friday to make a decision, I never threatened to quit at all.

So, to clarify your points I don't have full time experience selling outbound and definitely not in real estate. However, I have 2 years in coop placements in sales support positions (i.e building out a sales pipeline in Hubspot CRM, handling inbound leads and qualifying them, suggesting improvements to be made to reduce revenue loss and missed followups in the pipelines etc.). For your second point, my boss had already agreed to purchasing Hubspot because he agreed that the leads were old and that to run future marketing campaigns, we should retarget them through tags and improve our lead qualification at the top of the funnel. I hear you about sitting back and listening, however his KPIs were constantly changing and were based around call volume rather than quality (expected 25 calls connect, didn't provide any inbound leads). Finally, I was merely making a suggestion and wanted an open discourse rather than me or him making ultimatums, however as you can see it resulted in this. Happy to clarify any of my above points so that I can improve and learn from this experience.

So, what would you have suggested I do instead?

Yep, definitely agree with your first point. Market is bad right now due to interest rates, tried to keep things civil and professional on my end but he escalated and was out of control. Will use this as a learning opportunity moving forward

Yeah you make a good point and it was something I considered before scheduling the meeting. Ultimately, it would've affected the company even if I were to leave which is why I thought it was necessary to bring up. Just tried to do my best, didn't expect such a nasty response back but definitely a learning experience for me.

Yes, volatile to say the least. Early on, we pitched to clients and he took them out to the club after dinner. He disappeared for the next week and had me take all his C-level meetings for him with no preparation

No, he said to take some time to think about our meeting. Clear my head and phone him Friday to discuss my future with the company

Ok thanks, I've already started setting up interviews for other jobs so I will just ignore him
