I see a few posts about interview advice, and I guess it makes since without current economic environment.

Here is my question to the Sales Bowl. What will it take to leave your current role to take on a new one? This can be switching companies and doing the same job, changing responsibilities within your firm, or changing companies and roles.

Good Question.

I actually just accepted a offer letter on Monday for a BDM position that a headhunter recruited me for. Same industry that I am currently in but the role is for a company that is higher up the supply chain. (A material supplier to manufacturing companies that produce finished good such as my current organization)

The new company offered me a guaranteed salary, bonus structure, PTO, car allowance and other perks that would allow me to make as much and potentially more than I am making in my in my current role on a straight commission plan with LESS STRESS.

The idea of being able to focus on the business plan and customers without having to worry if projects are going to be booked or invoiced every month in a post pandemic economy played a key role in deciding to make the move.

Cheers!

Sounds like a dream. Congratulations.

It would take a personal need to relocate, i.e. closer to the kids or closer to our aging parents, and even then I would do everything I could to move laterally within the company.

Does it bother you when someone you care about won't let you treat them (like on special occasions such as birthdays and stuff)? I don't know why it's upsetting me so much, and I'm trying to figure out what the root of my issue is. I'm getting overly emotional about it. It makes me feel like I'm making it about me vs. them, which is not what I want to do at all. On the contrary, I want them to enjoy whatever I treat them to, but this is all backfiring because I can't control my emotions.

My sales lead just gave me my quota for the year. Its increased 120% from last year.
