How do you keep your sales team motivated when quarters hit those unexpected slow patches? I’ve tried the usual incentives and contests, but honestly, sometimes they just don’t cut it. Would love to hear any fresh or creative ideas that have actually helped you keep the energy and momentum going when the pipeline feels a bit dry.

I find that mixing in more personalized support and team check-ins helps keep morale up. Instead of just pushing incentives, I encourage celebrating small wins, whether it’s a great call, a new lead, or even learning from a lost deal. Also, fostering a culture where the team shares challenges openly and brainstorms solutions together

Any advice on getting into product management?

I will be relocating out of state from NY to FL in December. My current role does not allow flexibility to work remote and our offices in FL have no tech roles for transfer. I have 5+ YOE as a product owner in M&E and looking to break into the Digital space as a PM. I’ve been applying and interviewing with no luck and multiple rejection as it seems hiring has slowed down. Anyone know of companies hiring? I would love to connect.

Hey FishBowl Friends, so I’m currently trying to break into tech sales/FinTech and I feel that due to my previous work history, I might not look like the ideal candidate on paper but I’m an extremely fast learner and very coachable. I’ve been a manger at a gym, got my degree in finance, worked as a client advisor at a top 3 auto dealer in the nation and now I’m a project manager at a solar company. I really want something that’s remote and steady, any recommendations on how to spruce myself up?

My company blames my generation for not being able to hire everyday. “You guys don’t want to work” coming from some overweight, racist, old coaster. I’ve barely taken any days off this year and pick up “skeleton crew” days any chance I get. I was able to work out a deal with my company before I came because of prior experience luckily, but they offer a terrible base salary and sham of a commission structure to new hires + no remote. Then sit here and can’t figure out why…
