Every day someone posts asking “how do I leverage ‘x’ experience to land a job in ‘y’ company/industry?”. I’ve shared this many times via DM, but here it is in the comments for everyone to see. HOW TO GET ANY JOB IN SALES!

On a new team, internal move. Have about 10 YOE but looks like this will be the first year I end nowhere near annual goal. A few things outside of my control as I'm coming into the territory and things falling through. Role is heavy on renewals/farming but also some hunting. Because the farming has been so bad as I settle into month 4, will have a huge climb. The number of reps/meetings to get there is not attainable. Do I grind it past year 1? I hate that I will come nowhere close to goal...

Wondering about moving towards the path of Account Manager or Key Account Manager position with having a short track record behind me. Any suggestions?
