are things picking up or slowing down?

Im in Saas sales and for most of us at the company the well has been dryer than my girlfriends cooking.

But now it seems the powers that be have blessed us as we round out the year. 

Given everything going on in the world, are you finding business picking up or slowing down?

Still bad but maybe marginally better? Noticed an uptick in recruiters reaching out but that’s not much to go on.

Has been pretty slow the past couple of years, but we are still grinding along and bringing in business. Next year will be interesting.

I had questions about that as well.
Of course, I also hope that bizzy chips in with the cooking as well, if only in self defense.

I just left my last place and start the new job in 2 weeks. It was slow and everything in the pipe was delayed.

Things have really been picking up for us. Once we crossed the Labour Day threshold it got hot, and (knock on wood) it doesn't look to be slowing.

Picking up a little, I'd say. But too soon to judge.

It's getting better brother, getting more offers from recruiters and we've been closing some new logo deals.

Depends on what you sell and in what segment. Most markets continue increasing IT spending so AEs in companies with PMF should not see any decline.

You just had an awesome proposal call, but everyone is going back to their busy lives. What do you do to keep that momentum alive, especially over a long sales-cycle?

What are the key things you're looking for in your next sales role? (And how do you screen for them?)
