Think about it, you're in an ultra competitive space, with 2 elephants eating your lunch while you're not even profitable yet. You have a huge backlog but there are reports that it's not resulting in revenue (The Information). You're growing at mid-40s but so is the competition, and they are much much bigger than you. Getting harder you say?

Yep. This is why I want to move to a startup. It's so boring.

It's always challenging. Has this month been harder for you than normal?

I agree...it seems like it is always challenging.

I don't know that I would say harder, its always difficult. But yea, I guess reflectig on the past 6 months its maybe been a bit more difficult than usual.

Interested, because I'm being referred for a role there

Looking for advice on breaking into the L&E litigation field. I’m a rising third-year general litigation associate at a v10 law firm in NYC where I’ve gotten to work on a couple of L&E cases. My job search for L&E roles has been a bit of an uphill battle, because most of the roles require significant L&E experience. Would it be a bad idea to take a non-partner track role in an AmLaw100 firm’s L&E group in order to break into the field? What kinds of jobs would I be marketable for afterwards?

Has anyone ended up working for a prospect?

I just had a conversation with a CEO at a startup I admire, and the topic turned to sales hires. My jaw dropped at the comp numbers and I also really love the product, their selling philosophy (buyer centric, empathetic ; less volume based), and I feel like the CEO is an extremely empathetic bit straight forward person.

I'm considering throwing my hat in the ring for consideration, at the same time I've got a sales motion going on - any tips?

After 5 years as an AE / Sales Manager, what are the next possible career paths?

So I'm really keen to hear from others what steps they took in their career to get into roles they love doing now but still within the sales side of an organisation.

Went on a final interview today and the interviewer yawned through my presentation, was so BRUTAL with feedback, and was just super low-energy. This dude picked apart my entire presentation and frowned through all of it. Up until this point, everyone that I interviewed with said the presentation was great, but some things that need improvement. I just don’t understand how it’s normal that it’s expected that you make presentations and work for free— just to have someone take a huge shit on you.

I keep hiring sales people who are super enthusiastic and overpromising on what they deliver. I put them through a trial month (no base + commission only) and they do not close a single deal, Even though the commission structure is amazing and I’m incentivizing them through the roof. We experienced sales people are asking for a base and commission but I’m scared that I’ll end up having a base and the same thing will end up happening. What am I doing wrong?
