At my current company (startup), zero reps hit their quota in 2022. Some even had 0% attainment believe it or not.
I was promoted from SDR to AE at the start of FY2022, and now closing in on 2.5 years of experience.
Over the course of 2022 I was struggling.... we all were. New product in the US, but successful in the European market.
In 2022 I managed to close $50k ARR out of a 250k goal and was given a nonrecoverable draw to make up for the loss in attainment (more so to stay with the company). Reps with 0% attainment came from big names companies and they got frustrated and left.
Being that the job market is extremely tough right now, I am seeking advice on how to position my story within a resume to land an interview. And also understand how to position this situation within interviews to land another AE role.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! At this point, I have considered joining an established brand as a Senior/Enterprise SDR and working my way up again.
