My company has set some ridiculously high quotas, no one's hitting them.
Q1, Q2 targets were missed.
Everyone's now being asked to commit to 80% of the quota. No one has enough deals to commit.
I am building my patch from scratch and sales cycle is quite long. Q4 is looking better for me but what should I do in the meanwhile?
Put up theatrics and give it my best performance and come up with some fictional deals? I always thought honesty is the best policy but seems like it's not working and company is being run to the ground with bad business decisions.
Is it just what companies do? How many quarters in a row can you keep telling that we'll hit goals next quarter?
I'm not in the position to interview right now otherwise I would start looking.
I guess I'm looking for some advice on how to manage a dry pipeline and potentially pre lay off stage? Just ignore everything and not complain and say how much I love this slowly sinking ship?
