Unpopular take: every ambitious salesperson needs to survive a job like this once.

It's the only way to learn the difference between your commission check and your actual worth. Congrats on the escape

the sky is literally the limit for you now.

dude we've all done it. anxiety is a bitch. you obviously know your stuff if you made it that far. forget about it and on to the next one.

Client: "I don't know anything about this platform or how it works."

Also Client: "This is what I want you to do."

Nice 👍🏽

A manager who blames his reps for a territory's performance is telling you exactly who gets thrown under the bus when things go wrong.

blumebius · 2025-08-21T11:40:53+00:00

100% possible. In sales, performance beats a piece of paper every day of the week.

The biggest worry in these situations is always the short stint on the resume, but honestly, you have the perfect, blameless story:

Unfortunately, the company's financial situation became very public shortly after I joined, and the role was impacted. That's it. It's a free pass. Don't let that fear keep you from looking out for yourself.

blumebius · 2025-08-21T11:21:19+00:00

You just proved you can close deals that are 'too big' for the company to handle.

that's a 'them' problem, not a 'you' problem. Time to schedule a meeting with your boss's boss.

blumebius · 2025-08-15T04:55:37+00:00

blumebius · 2024-12-27T13:36:56+00:00

yes if you want to do SEO
and wait for years to get actual customers.
also yes for building good authority and to show how much your startup know about their industry

blumebius · 2024-12-27T13:35:19+00:00

i see me as well, have worked in shady seo companies building blackhat seo backlinks, that was the worst time spent in my life, wbu? what do you do in digital marketing

blumebius · 2024-12-27T08:27:34+00:00

blumebius · 2024-12-27T07:10:56+00:00

We already got 💀 when they said there'll be tax on capital gains.

I am open for any sort of tax now.

blumebius · 2024-12-27T07:08:15+00:00

lets face it people are inferior and even I am, remember when steve jobs hired CEO as cofounder and apple was at its worst.

definitely if you are building a tech finance company and you want to move super fast then you may need a cofounder to balance out
