You should be having that convo. Those holdups keep you from being able to do your job, which could cost you money in lost commission and potentially put your job at risk. Have the conversation, just be tactful about it - frame it as wanting to streamline things to be more efficient, instead of saying "I'm losing deals because Brian won't respond to my approval requests."
I couldn’t agree more I’m literally seeing it affect my numbers especially now that’s in Q4. I’m having customers wait on discounts, and implementation due to approval delays which then affects my bottom line… which affects the company’s bottom line…
I would definitely recommend having that conversation. These conversatiions are never fun but they are always worth it in the long run.
I agree, I rather have the difficult conversation now and have the feedback be communicated to leadership so we can hopefully trigger some consistency

you should have the conversation.
It went well actually! I think she was skeptical at first but she took it well and even brought up the items I had brought up and the effects it has on our process like being able to get discounts on time, how long it takes to adjust contract language, etc to the team and it felt validating as a group! I’m glad I had the conversation thank you

Bruh!!!! We have our annual reviews coming up and I have not been moving the needle. Meetings stall out? Prospects go ghost. My manager has been on the calls with me and she’s like, “I don’t understand what is happening”. The economy is so f’ing weird right now, people are scared to spend money.
I feel you! But I never stress out as long as people are in a similar boat as me or if the company or industry in general isn’t doing well!
