Be wary that you’ll never want to go back 🤣
Hm interesting. Can you tell me a bit more about the long-term career trajectory in sales? I don’t want to be a field guy forever and think I’d be good at sales management after a few years, but I don’t know what to do early on to set that up
Following this, been thinking about the jump
I jumped from software sales into consulting. Mortgage software. 10 days before Lehman's collapsed. No, no magic crystal ball, but MAN was/am I thankful. All the clients shut down their projects, cancelled contracts and the software company had to lay off a LOT of staff.
Just be ready - one bad event (data breach, bad press/major law suit etc) and it all comes crashing down.
I rode out the Grest Recession in consulting. It's big business for us - clients need someone to come advise them what do to adjust to the new world and then implement it. Change is opportunity.
