Fed up after a year

Question

Is it just me, or does anyone else start getting really fed up with the broken processes at their current job after a year?

I know the average tenure is a sales employee is 18 months so I’m not too far off, but I can admit I might need to change my mindset.

What’s your take? Is it sales in general, Covid related or do I need to stop whining?

Accepted Answer

Been with my current company for 5 years and the broken processes finally were enough for me to call it quits. Sales is a unique profession where every company needs us, but damn do they tend to drive us into the ground.

I always have three things: money/learning/enjoyment of culture. As soon as I lose 2 of the 3, I bounce.

Answer

Not sure if you are speaking operationally, but if you are talking about broken sales processes (like their shitty prospecting strategies) then try to be creative and implement your own process. If it's a success, you can share that with management and make a case for why things need to change. If you're that fed up and thinking about leaving anyway, you don't have much to lose here.

Answer

Depends on what processes, tbh.

Answer

When you don't have training or support that leads to helplessness.  That's not in our DNA.  So we move. You'd think companies would try to fix what's broken, but I digress.
