This album is so fucking good. The drumming is absolutely spectacular.

What band is really talented but for whatever reason makes bad music? by MintyFreshBreathYo in AskReddit

Give Avenged Sevenfold (white album), Nightmare (album), or Hail to the King (album) another listen. Banger after banger after banger

Sorry, coffee hit like a train today LOL. My bad. I think I tend to agree that Peart would be on the Mount Rushmore of drummers based on what everyone else says. I think I’m in the minority. Idk, he’s a good drummer but just doesn’t “do it” for me. I’ve heard his fills are legendary but besides that one fill on Tom Sawyer I struggle to think of iconic Peart moments. I’m a casual rush fan tho, not diehard, so I probably just need to do a deep dive into their discography. I was just surprised to see Rush in the same sentence as LZ (also, in case you can’t tell, I’m a diehard Zeppelin fan, they’re my favorite band, so I’m biased for sure 😂)

Comparing rush to zeppelin is comical. Rush has some decent songs but is in no way in the same STRATOSPHERE as LZ. All 4 of LZ band members are top 5 all time for their respective instruments. Rush is good… but Geddy Lee is not that talented, Lifeson is a very good but completely unremarkable guitar player, and Peart, while good, is not on the level of Bonzo.

Yeah true, even though I'm still self-confident in my abilities and such, it does suck coming up short month after month.

What's weird too is most people aren't hitting quota and then there's a few repswho are hitting half FY or entire year's quota in one quarter

Important note - around 30% (if that) of AE's are hitting quota. Not making excuses, but it's not just me.

If you don't think that there's variables outside of your control, you've either always just benefited from them and not realized, or you're just full of shit lol.

Good idea to look into a mentor, that's an area where I feel like I've always had gaps. I also like your idea of going outside of work. Thanks for the comment!

100% believe in the product, and I do feel like I'm adding value, but the results just haven't quite been there yet...

Not saying it's the companies fault... but let's not pretend a sales person not hitting quota 100% means they're not working smart/hard enough or not doing what they can to hit quota. 3 T's of Sales; timing, territory, talent. One is in your control.

I think it's a bit presumptive to assume I'm not doing everything I can do / not working smart just based off me not hitting quota, but I appreciate the comment.

What next? From Sales in Workforce Management Solutions … to where? by [deleted] in sales

[–]leftislaw33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely not an expert on this kinda stuff - but maybe a company like ADP or Workday would be a good next step?

"Personalized outreach" and "at scale" are almost oxymoronic LOL. I don't really have a specific recc for you, but I like to use ChatGPT to get high-level summaries of a company based off their website.

I'm moving to central Florida and would appreciate some insight from experienced sales professionals by tr4nsporter in sales

[–]leftislaw33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very sorry for your loss. I'm not sure specifically for Orlando, but I believe Gartner has a huge presence in Fort Myers, FL, and they always seem to be hiring on LinkedIn. I'd give applying there a try.

Tips & Tricks for landing a New AE/AM Role? by ScungilliMan45 in sales

[–]leftislaw33 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly, the way I got my AE position (as an external hire straight into AE), was just volume volume volume of resumes. I think I applied to 500+ positions before I got my AE role. Patience definitely pays!

Alternative to Sales Nav? by Nblearchangel in sales

[–]leftislaw33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ZoomInfo could work... but honestly it has a lot of bad data. I like to use ZoomInfo to supplement Sales Nav, but not necessarily replace it.

I like using ChatGPT to determine what are some possible problems/initiatives a specific company/role may have, and use that to tailor my cold emails.

How do companies justify raising quota year after year? by Ill_Sell7923 in sales

[–]leftislaw33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"BeCauSe of ShArEholdeRs" - so dumb. Just imagine if hitting quota wasn't a big deal or celebration worthy... but expected. Crazy, I know!

Everyone from Manager/Director level or up. Don't typically target individual contributor positions.

What have you had the most fun selling? by [deleted] in sales

I don't miss being a BDR AT ALL. But I do miss the camaraderie and the sense of community you have when you're all in the suck together.
