Just signed a new employment contract! Any tips for coming up with a good 90 day gameplan?
There's nothing like new sales guy energy. The less you know the easier it is I've always found. Somehow the new guy always landed great number his first week or few weeks. Any tips, ideas, strategies to make the most of this 'new guy' energy? Cheers folks

Could you find out how long the average sales cycle is, as well as any metrics around conversion rates? Then do the math and figure out how much activity you have to do each day/week in order to hit your quota or personal goal this year. Depending on the average length of a sales cycle, you should have a pretty decent pipeline within 90 days, if not a closed deal.

sigh* last week Saturday my s/o & I broke up after our 3 year relationship. & it really been affecting me negatively — not eating, autopilot mode, self isolation & diving deep into work. Today I decided to go outside, where I picked up some food to go and went to an outdoor movie by myself; where I had the realization I just really enjoy being by myself. Idk, maybe I’m just better off single after so many failed relationships/am I being dramatic? but anyone else has given up on love?
