I was struggling early in my insurance career because I was treating my job like a salesman. High-pressure sales tactics, the typical "sales-y" attitude. My mentor explained that my mentality felt very "me vs. them" not "me and them vs. their problems." After I had this paradigm shift, I was able to empathize and connect easier with my clients and my success skyrocketed. It sounds cheesy and overly simplistic but younger me just didn't get it until I got that coaching.

So I used to work for this shady Series A funded startup in Mumbai. Our CEO was a drug addict who funnelled money back to a lobbyist on the VC side. They paid INR 1.2 Crores for their logo to a "creative agency", just one of the many dodgy expenses they made including multiple so-called official trips to exotic locations like Hawaii. Till date their SAAS product has not found a single buyer. The CEO's girlfriend was the Sales Director whose job was to wear skimpy dresses for business meetings.
