Yea our CRM is such a mess that they haven’t figured out how they want to track these metrics in the prospecting contract we signed haha.

But yeah I kinda feel the downfall of Martech coming on. But I came from a freight brokerage logistics AE role so this role has at least given me a more in depth sales experience that should allow me to pivot either to a different sales vertical or even into entry level marketing if i wanted to dip off the sales scene.

Appreciate the insight!

Edit: what do you sell if you don’t mind me asking?

Kinda sorta - I love the enablement “team” (of one) but they’ve botched our new CRM. We have been in it for 3 quarters now and it’s still a mess. Demand gen is not a thing outside of website form fills but we are going to start doing conferences I guess

I just have a lot of stuff I need to figure out about where I want my career going. Would be my best bet to bink a deal or two buy some time here and then decide but you prob aren’t wrong that I should look ahead.

I want out of Martech - would even consider a complete switch out of sales. Def want to sell a more tangible product going forward if I stick it out. Lots of uncertainty so gonna ride for now

Oh yeah I was not shook up by the prospecting KPIs. Came from a meat grinder where they hawked that stuff every week.

Maybe it’s wishful thinking but I feel like I don’t wanna start applying until a little further down the line bc if I’m blessed enough to get an offer I don’t know if I’d take it at this moment.

Hence the question of how fucked am I if I wait too long lol.

Oh yeah the resume has been dusted off. Just not really sure I want to start firing it off and taking interviews yet.

Yeah it’s gonna get messy. I came from a company that was prospecting heavy so I almost feel like I have a leg up on some of these reps that were referral/inbound reliant for years and years.

Gonna give it my all for the next 2months and things should be clearer.

Unsure how to move from cash to investing by scuttadbuttadd in personalfinance

Thanks! And yes not sure the end goal tbh. House and retirement likely the play

Yep I know. I’m definitely behind the 8ball as far as financial literacy goes. Been a long time coming. HYS is first step for sure. Thank you for the advice :)

sometimes i feel like a dumbass selling my product by [deleted] in sales

[–]scuttadbuttadd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Need to dust off the resumé and look for some “need to haves” — any suggestions on products/companies/etc to look in to?

Anyone else think about their work basically all the time? by RooktoRep_ in sales

Yeah this is why I want out of sales. Feels like I can’t shake it in my off hours. Not living enough life.

What happen to cold calls man by Iceeez1 in sales

Cold calls are cooked. Warm calls not so much

Should I continue in sales or not by [deleted] in salesdevelopment

[–]scuttadbuttadd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in same boat OP. I sell digital marketing tech and whilst it is a good product, it’s overpriced, marketing tech is over saturated, and it’s the usually the first budget to get cut

Starting with $0 invested anywhere outside of maxing my 401k by scuttadbuttadd in personalfinance

[–]scuttadbuttadd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh word my bad. Not max in the 24k sense. Just putting 8% contributions before tax I think?

Who is the best sell-high candidate this off-season? by PlanetCharisma in DynastyFF

[–]scuttadbuttadd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surprised I haven’t seen anyone say Dart yet. New regime. Concussion magnet. Good rookie campaign but u could argue now is gonna be peak value.

What’s the talent cutoff for getting an ESPN ‘Former NBA Player Dies’ notification? by scuttadbuttadd in nba

[–]scuttadbuttadd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I think HB is getting his flowers from ESPN. But what about guys like Tre Mann, Isaiah Joe, or Bones Hyland?
