About to close my first deal.

Update: PO is in. Thanks for the encouragement!

Posting because I need an outlet to feel good about this accomplishment and my wife couldn't give any fewer f*cks. Spent the first 8 years of my SaaS sales career in the channel and for the last 3ish years I've been trying to become an AE. Finally did it and about 2.5 months in about to get my first win. One week left of my POC and we have the verbal tech win. So pumped!

Can you believe I said this to someone last week who had no idea wtf that meant? You know how hard it was for me to keep a poker face?

Good luck! Just remember it’s not done til it’s actually done. Keep doing Discovery til you discover the signature on the contract.

No. First as a tech sales AE. I’ve been in tech for a little over 8 years but not as a direct seller. I’ve been an AE for about 2.5 months
