Took my 90 days in a new industry to sell over 2 million in revenue but the new company lost 1.8 million of it. Most frustrating thing I’ve ever faced.
did the fundamentals transfer the way you thought they would, or did you basically relearn the job from scratch?
Depends what you mean by footing. Commission or understanding the new space? The only time a made a lateral it took me 60 days to have a firm understanding of the space and 120days/4 full months to regain my financial footing ( commission realized in 5 months) At my 1 yr mark my total comp was 3x more I made with my previous organization.

For me, confidence usually comes after six to twelve months. Learning a new industry takes longer than most people expect, even if you are already good at selling.
Hi, I would love to know more about your experience. How is it humbling? I'm in the same boat right now. I started 3 months ago.... and I'm still not sure about my footing. I was handling data, spreadsheets, analysis. Now, I'm doing negotiations and communications which I don't have any training whatsoever.
I would love to hear more from your experience, maybe I can learn some few techniques. The adjustments are quite challenging.
