Mid summer blows, everyone's on PTO. December is also ass.

You speak the holy truth. I’m slowly clawing my eyes out as I make 80 calls and hear “Jim is on vacation” - “Susie is out until next week”.

Summer - Back to back holidays + people taking PTO with kid Winter - End of December is hell.

I sell into Higher Ed so summer is for sure the slowest part for me. Christmas through New Years is also complete ass.

Summer for sure. Deals happen but they just take longer to close due to PTO

Winter is brutal. Start/end work when it's dark. Prospects are always pushing me off till next year.

I've gotten more OOO emails this month than the rest of the year combined, but that's fine with me. I enjoy taking it slow when all my prospects are vacationing

Q3 is prep season. Lower quota, more business development. Hosting events/clients/potential clients.

Summer, everyone's on vacation mode. Even moreso now that covid is over.

Summer: July-Aug Pretty much all of December
I sell to government, so you can also discount any week with a long weekend.

Summer and Ramadan because no one wants to work in that month (including myself) and you have by law shorter working hours.

Summer for sure. Nobody answering and a lot of OOO’s.
also selling to multiple stakeholders suck now, none of them are available at the same time. Always a few people on PTO
