I have been working as a PreSales SA for 4 years for a tech giant. It has been a while that I feel like I am not growing at my job which is impacting my productivity. How should I address this to reach a conclusion as to what I should do next? Maybe find motivation or look for an exit strategy?

Ask yourself if you want to be there long term first. If not, then begin the search process.
If you want to stay, talk with your supervisor. They need to understand your feeling towards your role at the company and your desire to learn and grow professionally. Once you have had the conversation with your supervisor, you place the ball in his court. How he reacts will tell you what your next move is. What you're looking for is some sort of defined career path or next step and what you will need to do to move ahead.

So I say this with complete humility and an understanding that this is a fortunate-ish situation to be in. I’m in a position where I am tied to nothing, I have no children, spouse, or house.

Because I am able to “pick up and go” I’m open to opportunities and locations. I’ve never worked with a recruiter but was hoping I could get some recommendations!

I like to use infographics as a leave-behind from my sales presentation. The flyers help my customers sell the solution up to management.

I started my current position in January and already exceeded my yearly quota after 2.5 Quarters. I schedule appointments and work from home. I love the flexibility but I want to go back into running meetings and getting deals instead of only scheduling them and capping my commission. Also found out I won’t get promoted for probably another year or so, advice ?

My company covers in depth results each week, including meetings set/attended, wins, revenue, retention etc. I feel as if evaluating in such depth is detrimental to the psyche, as you never get to “ride the high.” In addition, some weeks are simply slower than others, and it’s not always representative of what the results at the end of the period or quarter will be. Is this not a big deal, and I’m I placing too much importance on it? Or is it beneficial to review results less frequently?
