How is your month going?

I am struggling this month. Not even close to quota. I should have been there, but a lot of my deals are pushing off. It is stressing me out, I know next month should be pretty good, based off my pipeline. But ughh...Soo how is your May??

I'm confident that this month is going to end on a high note. In my industry about 60% of prospects borrow capital specifically to purchase what I sell so a lot of times my deals come down to how quickly these guys can get the capital together. Oftentimes they're sold a month or two before they buy. I'm in that boat right now but things look like they'll come through.

Crap month but should be an excellent quarter, which is the goal.  

Tough day today, too, but it will be ok.

Hang in there.   It's a cyclical thing.  Some months just suck.

This month is the first month of our quarter and I'm on pace to be at 75% of my number for the Q already. I'm hoping to keep that going strong and hit 2x. 

I'm pushing hard to get promoted by the end of summer though so I've been busting my ass to be at the top of the leader board and have crazy numbers. Working way harder than I normally would. 

Keep your head up! You've got this. Slow month's happen. Use the extra time to set yourself up to knock it out of the park next month!

Sales is cyclical.  So many variables.  One month you kill it and the next two you're in the dog house.  But with the right effort it all evens out.
RnR this weekend and come out swinging for the last week of the month!

First month as an SDR, it’s going really well for me. First team of SDRs the company hired. 2 of the people that were hired with me threw in their towel, I’m in the lead for set appts, DMs showing up and the first to have an account closed won so I’m feeling really good. Just hope I can keep this momentum going next month.

Peaks and valleys, if it was all smooth sailing everyone would do it. Everyone in sales has had dips in their sales and stuff happen outside of your control. Don’t make excuses but don’t be unrealistic and you’ll come out in top

May notoriously bad, hoping for a white whale at the end, likely pushes though. Quarter and YTD are "ok" but looming concerns in the market are making those pushes scary
