Action taken after recent post I made here with the fellow savages

A few weeks ago I made a post asking for opinions on my current package. A whopping 91% confirmed my gut feeling that my package was not as good as it could be. Partnered with feeling a little pissed off and under valued in my current role I decided to actively look for another role. Fast forward 3 weeks later, I found one! I am much happier with the proposed package on offer with the new company and have a structured career path mapped out for me in writing.


Just want to say thanks for those who voted and more importantly commented with your views, really hammered home what I already knew.


wish me luck notice is going in today

First - Vikings 4 EVARRRRRR Second - Know your worth. For good or bad. Iโ€™ve always said that your #1 job is to be so good that you would be extremely difficult to replace, then leverage the shit out of it. Perfect example is my current position in life; Iโ€™m a straight up savage with a golden Rolodex, but Iโ€™m new to my industry. I know Iโ€™m a gamble to hire, but the pay off for my employer could be very sweet. I needed to leverage my soft skills and โ€œsellโ€ them on the idea. I didnโ€™t ask for the highest salary (I honestly didnโ€™t care that much), but itโ€™s six figures and my commission is the same as everyone else in the firm. Iโ€™ll prove I was a good bet, and the rest can suck it ๐Ÿ˜Ž

haha love it, usually I would try to leverage a better deal but I feel that I would be pissing in the wind so to speak. FYI - I am the sales person, literally the only one lol

Well thatโ€™s some sweet leverage right there. But wasnโ€™t that the old job? Is the new one the same?

down voters are marketing spies
Congrats! No harm in looking elsewhere, and when you give your notice be polite, but tell them pointedly that you're leaving based on their package, and you have a network of worldwide amazing sales people that made you do it.

"Would you jump off a bridge?"
"As long as the poll indicated it was best for my career!"

I just sell stuff around the condo Iโ€™m not using anymore on eBay. Great cause itโ€™s pretty minimal work for stuff I would normally just donate for free.

So, most people I know did not plan on becoming a sales person initially, it just happened. So, curious to know how my fellow warriors here ended up in sales anyway ? The more interesting stories the better..!!
