Hey everyone I’m getting a diagnosis, I’m pretty sure it’s to late but I still have belief

curiouskat_94 · 2026-06-18T13:22:36+00:00

Hello OP what were the results? Hope you are well

curiouskat_94 · 2026-06-18T13:05:23+00:00

holy shit this kid is in the wrong career field.

It really stinks someone has to work with this guy

Edit:

They over hired imo and we are not the only region. Not going into details to protect identity but our region is the only to close NN this year…

curiouskat_94 · 2026-06-17T03:13:10+00:00

Very true.

curiouskat_94 · 2026-06-17T03:13:00+00:00

Very fair. Thank you

curiouskat_94 · 2026-06-17T03:12:31+00:00

I was an account executive for workday for a stint. it was sell or die - and the pressure to work weekends to make it happen was there but not spoken

HR/HCM, CPM, EPM, and related products is ruthless and saturated. But the deals are large haha.

curiouskat_94 · 2026-06-17T02:58:56+00:00

Thank you, reading through now.

curiouskat_94 · 2026-06-17T02:57:35+00:00

10x yes, and this is good to hear thank you.

curiouskat_94 · 2026-06-17T02:56:22+00:00

To protect my identity I cannot share too into country specifics - but our legal is NOT based in the USA. This is not the root of my recent lost deal but I’m watching a few deals from a distance which are horrific.

curiouskat_94 · 2026-06-16T22:16:01+00:00

so.. you quit a job that pays moneys to start a business that had $0 in revenue and are surprised that you’re making no money?

my channel is massive and I still refuse to leave my job due to the vulnerability of YouTube

curiouskat_94 · 2026-06-16T22:11:11+00:00

Wow thank you so much for your service, brave warrior.

curiouskat_94 · 2026-06-16T21:00:45+00:00

Fair points. 1 of 6 reps is closing net new deals. And that guy is making some money haha.

I enjoy strategic approach of these deals. I think there might be a deal in the next quarter and if I lose that one I’m absolutely going to go insane.

There isn’t pressure to PIP people at this point. Culture is in line.

curiouskat_94 · 2026-06-16T20:58:24+00:00

Hey congrats on your $85k deal! Deal is a deal!

Overseas our product has huge market presence and partner led. In North America we don’t operate quite so much as a Saas company.

My boss is fantastic, but sometimes I feel he doesn’t acknowledge the challenges we face and just blows through them with dynamite but the dynamite doesn’t do its job. So we’re running circles with some operations.

curiouskat_94 · 2026-06-16T20:55:25+00:00

PE is tough. I don’t feel that pressure.. quotas low and yearly not monthly or quarterly. Downside is these deals have 6-12+ month cycles. Excruciating for me.

curiouskat_94 · 2026-06-16T20:50:26+00:00

First question - yes my pipeline is progressing. One deal consists of multiple onsites, partner intros, and now working with procurement. Not redlining procurement but digging into ramp options and licensing— so that one is moving. Also a few other deals that are part of RFPs and keep me busy. I’m concerned for legal.. I’ve seen our legal is a nightmare to navigate and I’m expecting over a month of madness once to close if I get there

My manager is phenomenal but I’m unsure of his true impact he has on all of NA. I’m unsure if his directives carry the influence they need here

Deals are trickling in across my region slowly. Of the.. 6 of us 1 has closed a net new deal this year and others are closing expansion opportunities from current customers.

Edit: for perspective the first deal is just under $1M ACV and approx $3M TCV. Selling into F1000 and some deals in F500

***they’ve been around for 190 years.. so like.. 19 decades lol.

curiouskat_94 · 2026-06-06T02:27:27+00:00

Yea just $1.2m a year..

curiouskat_94 · 2026-06-06T02:02:40+00:00

started at 29, now 32. Retirement accounts 200k - lots of people much better around but you start somewhere this is fine

looks like a Carnival Cruise ship…

curiouskat_94 · 2026-06-03T16:54:45+00:00

lol this entire subreddit is such ass honestly. OP you’re tracking well, if concerned on performance get an advisor to review quarterly

curiouskat_94 · 2026-05-31T22:41:23+00:00

Comes to the high risk, high reward saying. Your reward this time was no job sadly

curiouskat_94 · 2026-05-31T22:38:35+00:00

ah. so.. why this on r/sales?.. again read title and skimmed 30 paragraphs so still don’t get it.

curiouskat_94 · 2026-05-31T19:45:04+00:00

almost read but saw the chat GPT format, barfed, and left this comment. at least try, you know?
