Took a job 3 months ago as an ENT AE. My last gig was so inbound focused that I probably made 100 cold calls over 4 years, even as a BDR. We do have inbounds coming through at new gig but not enough to live off of. Don’t mind cold calling at all but getting to C-Suite from receptionists is a nightmare. Mobile numbers work much better but just a ton of no answers in between. Everything’s going well, but what’s everyone else doing these days to get an extra meeting or 2 on the calendar a week?

Question on UK visa-
My partner will be traveling often to London, once a month for an year starting September. He is getting his visa through work (10 years, multiple entry, 6 months max stay, cost some $1000).

I have applied for standard tourist visa in the past and they are usually short term. It could be max 6 months, but they see your itinerary and allocate you few months around the itinerary

Is there a way to get 6 months multiple entry visa, if I were to join him once in a while.
