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”.

No marketing, mayo isn't an MQL
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.

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

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
