Brutal, brutal quarter. Out of our segment only 2 out of roughly 60 AMs are on pace to hit. My streak is likely coming to an end :(

We do monthly quotas here, but either way it's still been bad. Three teams of AEs in the US, and across all three only 20% have hit quota. A few are within striking distance, so they could theoretically hit, but unlikely. I'm on a PIP, and at only 20% to quota with today and hypothetically tomorrow left, I don't think I'm going to make it past Monday.

Have an interview in 30 minutes, and another one next week. I'm excited about the one for next week, but the one today I'm not sure about. Like I'm not sure it's a great opportunity, better than my current job for sure, but that's a low bar to clear.

Big win this quarter was winning a deal that had been teed up for a competitor at the start of the RFP. I'll be the first to admit that rarely happens, so it's particularly sweet.
Pulling for everyone else!

That's incredibly rare - CONGRATS! I usually rip up the RFP because if you didn't write it, you ain't winning it; but you proved that wrong.

I hear that. We weigh each RFP upon receipt to figure out if we should participate or not. Usually we will anyway - playing the long game, if we don't win this one, we'll be top of mind in a couple of years.
My best win from last quarter was from an RFP I (with the support of management) declined initially. They then reached out to me personally, ditched the RFP process entirely, increased the purchase, and closed. So...RFPs can be very interesting.

I'm still waiting on one small deal - doesn't make my quarter but I HATE having things roll in late because...well...the customer oopsed on their ability to deliver a promised order by the date they confirmed. Now it will be late and YES it affects my overall quota (adjustment next quarter; don't ask) and payout. Fortunately it's smallsies so it's annoying rather than fatal.

July killed my quarter before it began. Not ridiculously far behind though so confident in Q4 to make it up.

Oh, we definitely have had a lot of prospects out on vacation as well as people then being sick for a week right after.

Pretty rough - not going to hit 100, but I feel better about next quarter, so I am ready to shake off the dust and hit it.

Brutal quarter not just for me, but for our segment. That said, had one of the bigger deals of the segment I'm in for the quarter. Onto Q4
