AMA CuriousFox Style 🦊

Sup fools? Y'all miss me?

G was too kind to ask me to lead the bitchin AMA of the week SO HERE WE ARE 🦊

What do you wanna know?

Teeny bit of background - I worked full time in sales and attended college full time. I am the first of my family to graduate with a degree. Two weeks after I graduated I landed my first pharmaceutical sales job.

I've been in MANY industries, led various verticals, protested a couple of RFPs (and won), survived toxic work environments, witnessed buyouts, experienced layoffs, and I AM STILL HERE THRIVING.

If I could leave you with a juicy morsel it would be to keep your mind open, embrace shit as it's thrown at you, and learn new things each day. Ego gets you nowhere, so try your best to lead with kindness. And dark sarcastic humor. That's also my jam.

Let's chat! Leave your questions or your best "your mom" joke. I am a sucker for those.

Fantastic question Lt. PBC!

Like I said to HVAC it's important to surround yourself with folks that want to see you win. It can help build confidence.
Know your why. What value do you bring? If it doesn't align with your goals then tweak it. Stay out of gossip and workplace drama. Those folks are jealous and want to see you fail.

This has been your 🦊 public service announcement. Think I've earned my Lt. badge now @Gasty @poweredbycaffeine?

The best of the best here in the WR. Is there a specific toxic work environment story you can share or any other cautionary tale perhaps?

Hope you feel better!

I've seen quite the few workplace dramas, politics, gossips, etc. I will leave you with the following:

Keep your nose clean. Don't participate or get sucked in. Do your job, do it well, and surround yourself with folks that want to see you win. Why do you think I'm the resident Bravado cheerleader? I want the best for each and every one of you. We make each other stronger. ❤🦊

I enjoy your foxiness and if I were to meet you in person, I feel like we could be friends for sure.
What made you want to get into sales and what has kept you in outside of the money?

CuriousFox

I remember CLEARLY stating I never wanted to be in sales. I wanted to be in public relations. Then one day, close to graduation, I saw a sharp dressed pharma rep in a fitted suit and a shiny car. I approached her in the parking lot and started up a chat. I even met her boss as he was riding along with her that day.

Don't ever say you will NEVER do something. The universe will make sure that you do. Wicked sense of humor I guess 😉

Yes the money is a factor. Any sales rep that says otherwise is full of garbage. Having a strong support team, the ability to TRULY work remotely, and the fact that I'm trusted to do my job without being micromanaged is why I have stayed.

FOXXXXYYYYY!
Outside of the pearls of wisdom you've already dropped, do you have a favorite workplace/team/era that you remember nostalgically, or are you in it right now?
Stay well, my friend. Don't the rona get you down.

There are a few teams I think of every now and then, but honestly I am in the "good ole days" now. I'm enjoying it with each day, as you and I both know how fast things can change. ❤

Rona can suck it. I have my life alert, so I'm never alone 🚨

Still trying to get into that sales game so working on the thriving, do you have a favorite job search site? Also here's a yo mama joke for you."Yo mama's so lazy, she has a stay-at-home job and still is late to work"

CuriousFox

Yesssss nice joke!

I do not have a favorite site. I do a cross between Indeed and LinkedIn. If I'm really interested then I will reach out to a manager directly. Also be open to recruiters. Some do like to make money and help folks out.

May I ask what your opener to a manager or recruiter is? I'm just not getting anywhere, i'm good in person. i'm sure that it does help that you have a ton of experience.

What was it like witnessing a buyout? (Have never been through one but intrigued about this)

CuriousFox

I've been through several. I learned quite a bit about private equity firms and how they operate. If you find yourself in this predicament, I advise you to keep your head down, avoid gossip, and go on with your business as usual. I've seen too many folks stand out when they didn't need to and be fired for it.

Anything you say can get back to the powers that be. There are also inveterate gossips at every company that can’t wait to share what you said - or a version of it - and you’re exposed.

Hey you know what I heard today, something like this:
The next generation are total pussies, it means that for old timers like us, there has never been more opportunity than now because the next generation is not ready to go the extra mile... That's a generic statement but it lacked a punch and reminded me of the shit I've been through and IM STILL HERE TOO!!!!
