A prospect cancelled a meeting through email, I didn't catch this, he missed the demo we had tailored to his needs, we called him on the phone and the whole room heard the prospect on speaker yelling at my AE for disturbing him after he cancelled the meeting. I logged to my email though my phone, saw the message and looked up to a room of all my superiors giving me "the look" while my AE tried to save the deal with no luck.ย

I went to an interview, went great, left super excited, started going down the stairs when the interviewer greeted the CEO who was coming up the stairs, clumsy me fell down the stairs rolling all the way to the bottom to land on the CEO dropping her as well. Never got a callback.ย

Call me what you want, just sign the damn contract
That's a once-in-a-lifetime thing. Super unlucky.

Should have started doing press ups when the fall ended to show it was intentional

Tried to message a coworker about our douchecanoe of a boss and messaged the boss instead. I hit send and immediately realized what I did and I died inside. Instantly. I think I called him a bleeding heart liberal.

He was sitting 10 feet away from me and responded to my message with โ€œyou didnโ€™t mean to send that to me did you?โ€ Then proceeded to explain his political beliefs. He HATED me anyway so this was just a new level of weird. About 3 months later he tried to fire me.

Another one. I was working a larger deal and 2 times I had them scheduled for a follow up and both times they had requested to change the date and I forgot to update the calendar invite. Twice on the phone I was told, โ€œdidnโ€™t we have a meeting scheduled next week?โ€ They ended up not buying from me.

3 months into my first job as an SDR - Connected the wrong email address to our mass blast outreach software & ended up getting the company email domain on every spam list. Customers and prospects werenโ€™t receiving our emails. I sell GMail which makes it even worse. We legit had to get Microsoft AND Google involved the get it fixed.

During an online demo I teams the person doing the demo to let her know that the client had been kind of a pain with questions and had not really been listening in prior demosโ€ฆ. It popped up on her screen so they could see it and she didnโ€™t notice until it sat for a whileโ€ฆ so embarrassing

I booked a physical meeting with a CEO and I send the invite with his actual home address instead of the office address. Did my work a little bit too well ๐Ÿ˜…

I also hate when people put their titles, it feels like they are blowing their own horn. You should use your knowledge to teach shitposters how to become legends in the WR!
