Help! Pretty sure I'm on the chopping block due to poor performance (had terrible losses and divorce this year) and I was told to create a deck to explain my performance so far. Does anyone have any templates or examples I could use?

I don't have a template, but I would include metrics around total pipeline, deals closed among all sales team, most common closed-lost reason, maybe a comparison to other companies in the industry if possible (to demonstrate industry-wide conditions if applicable.) It sounds like you think your poor performance was due to personal issues, though? Might be a bit challenging. Have you spoken to manager or HR about those issues? Might be best to get a bit more understanding and honesty around whats going on.

I would recommend you go to HR about your situation. There are programs in place to assist with loss and any down moments you’re experiencing.

I agree. I would go to HR and try to get ahead of it. They may be able to help you out.

Good morning everyone! I have a interview as a account executive position for innovation refunds, that pays 100k + and I’m super nervous to have a interview it’s been so long ! Lol but I was wondering how can I tell what kind of environment it is, and what should I look out for? I just really don’t want to go to a sales job that’s cut throat and competitive where everyone is against each other. Working remotely now I don’t have that it’s very laid back. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!!

I have a second round interview with a saas company selling education software. This interview will be a 30 minute zoom call with the VP of sales. I am someone from a non- traditional background with 2 years of sales-ish roles but no experience in tech sales and no straight forward sales job.
