Let's pretend the following scenario is true: I was formerly slinging cocaine, but have decided that the commission structure just wasn't panning out (thanks economic sanctions) and the lack of a company funded 401k account really made retirement look bleak. I have decided to transition to something a little more mundane, yet stable. So naturally I did what anyone with half a personality and a body temperature in the mid-high 90's is capable of succeeding at; SaaS sales.
What are some key takeaways from my prior job that would enable success in the new role? Any stark differences in the clientele, sales cycles, forecast management, etc?
This isn't real but let's have some fun since Monday fuckin blows and we need some creative synergy in here.
