AMA With @tennisandsales ๐ŸŽพ Thursday 4/18!

Ok Savages! I'm up for an official AMA tomorrow but Im giving you all a solid heads up to start thinking about any questions you want to ask, and then delete the shitty ones and bring the gems tomorrow.


Apart from my opinions on the top ATP players, or what I think of pickle ball, here are a few things I love to ramble on about when given the chance:


  • Path from insurance/investment sales -> ENT SaaS
  • How to evaluate good companies to work for
  • Is ENT sales the best career goal?
  • Being an IC vs going into management
  • ADHD and sales
  • Should you join a start up?
  • Selling with a PLG motion
  • Leaving ENT Sales to go into mid market sales
  • War stories of VPs almost blowing deals
  • work life balance as a husband and dad of 2


Of course, Im always open to what else you wanna throw at me.


good chance I wont be able to respond right away but we will see how this goes.





PS: I was suppose to post this yesterday and do the AMA today but of course i fucked it up, and ill blame it on the ADHD. ๏ปฟ๏ปฟ@Gasty๏ปฟ๏ปฟ my bad homie!!!

Why did you jump back to mid market? Did you like shorter deal cycles, target market etc?

Also would love to get your perspective on going from investment sales to tech. I did the same thing.

Coming back and doing an AMA, what a dude!


How have you found success going back to your former employer? I know that I did the same thing, and had pretty good results so far. Inform us on your transition back.

Did you get diagnosed with ADHD? Did it happen early or later in life? How do you manage this with work?

Seconded. I for sure have ADHD, it gets complicated trying to explain this to someone (especially a manager) who doesn't have it. How can I explain to my manager that the easiest way for me to do something is my way, not their way?

I'll give it some thought, but in the meantime - how's your backhand?

My husband was a D1 tennis player back in the day, but those days are behind him. As an exception, would you approve him trying his hand at pickleball, considering it might be the only way he could enjoy a court again?
And welcome back! The question about jumping back into MM from ENT has been asked, so I'm very interested in your response!
