One minute I am chatting to customers all day, the next I am driving between appointments with nobody to talk to. Sales can be surprisingly lonely at times. Does anyone else feel that?

I read a book at least one thousand times called The Greatest Salesman in the World by Og Mandino, and he states that a traveling salesman can be the loneliest profession in the world 🌎. Read this book including within it the 10 Secret Scrolls of Success and memorize them. It will change your life like it changed mine many decades ago for the better. When you're done with the 1st book then read The Greatest Salesman in the World Part II with the additional 10 Secret Scrolls of Success within it. Best, T

Yes, although A Sales job offers a lot of autonomy and flexibility, it’s a lonely job! Use the quiet time to reflect and reenergize your mind.A good pod cast or an audio book keeps you company between calls. Happy selling!

Since moving back in with my parents, I’ve noticed their internet cannot handle three people working from home. Does anyone have experience relying on a mifi full time?

I am a traditional reservist so I never really used military benefits before, but could use advice here.

I am currently renting and my lease is not up until October 2021, however I found a good deal on a home and scheduled to close in June 2021.

My landlord will not work with me to end the lease early, so it looks like I will have to double up on rent and mortgage through the summer.

If I went on active duty orders, can I use those orders to break my lease early without penalty?

Hi everyone! First time posting here. I am in a good sales role at my current company but it’s my first solid AE role in the tech industry. I am interested in exploring other opportunities as I know there are a lot out there, but is anyone else worried about the current economic state? I’m worried that if I find a new position for a new company and the economy going to sh** that I am worried about job security. Anyone else feel this way?

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?
