Hey Savages. ย It can be difficult at times to celebrate financial wins in sales with your friends and family. ย Foremost many misunderstand what sales people do, but likewise โ it's lucrative nature can be a hard pill for others to digest, and I'm careful to disclose my finances to avoid creating any anger or envy in my relationships. ย ย
My career trajectory has exploded over the past 5 years, and today it reached a pinnacle and I'm not sure I'll eclipse this. ย During a time of mass layoffs and economic uncertainty, I don't take this paycheck lightly. ย I lived on less than $30,000 for many years โ and have lived abroad in some of the poorest nations in the world. But with all that said, I have worked my ass off to earn this. ย I produced ~$13M in net new revenue this year, and have positioned my company very well in deeply complex account. ย That is to say, I am humbled and deserving, appreciative and empathic in receiving this.ย
