Dear Annoying Startup Leader whining about sales reps on LinkedIn, SHUT UP!

I don't know what it is but I have run into my fair share of leaders at Startups whining about how a sales rep did not do a demo right or did not sell the right way. First of all, screw you for trying to put someone on the spot on LinkedIn. Second of all, shut up and shove your ego up your rectum.


Seriously, you are not a leader at a real company like a Salesforce or an IBM. We do not even care about your product for the most part.


The sales rep who sold to you was likely some kid fresh out of college who was poorly managed and you decided to throw him or her under the bus because wow, for the first time in your pathetic life, someone gave you or something affiliated with you some attention.


STFU, stop taking yourself so seriously, and go run your mouth when you end up leading a real company.

Most of the people who do that are t good sales people to beginning with.

Even if they carried a bag once, it was for such a brief time that it’s inconsequential.

It's become so much worse than Facebook. At least on Facebook, you can lit a spliff, take a sip of bourbon and watch the world burn.
On LinkedIn, few truly express themselves. So you get this even cheesier, dumber version of people's actual thoughts. Sometimes though with a few replies you can get the people going in the comments section.

Yeah but they need to complain about something to seem like they are smarter than us lowly salespeople

They usually haven't sold in years when they go ranting about one slip or gap in someone else's process.

or haven't ever been in sales and still rant and complain about how the AEs and BDRs are doing it wrong. At my last AI startup, the CEO felt he had to rewrite our emails and force us to use what he thought were "great" cold emails and LI messages. sigh

Sales Rep
Feel like 99% of the leaders who complain about sales, have a product that helps in that area. So its just a pitch

What obnoxious, nonsensical Linkedin headline do you use to covey the sophistication of your role in the workplace? Or What are the most ridiculous Linkedin headlines you've seen other people use?
