Listening and Making the Move Pays Off

What is going on Sales Savages!!!


So I wanted to give a little testament to this group and I hope all of the newcomers are inspired to stay in this group and really take heed and absorb the knowledge and experience that exists here.


I have been in this group basically since the beginning. I was skeptical about taking the advice of strangers and people that really had ZERO vested interest. With that being said, I needed to start looking to get out of the hardware sales world as a BDR. I dug into the advice and knowledge that was given to me and went to work. I thought that an AE position was farfetched for me, but I went for it anyway.


After about 2 months of taking my lunches to go to interviews or going out to my car to hop on a video/conference call. I was able to land an AE job in the SaaS world. It has been an incredible move for my career, finances, and overall mental wellbeing.


In the first 7 months of the year, I have already made more money than I did last year (really it was by month 5). I can actually see being debt free and super cashflow positive here by the end of the year as well.


So with all of that said, THANK YOU SAVAGES FOR BEING AWESOME AND LENDING A HAND!

Of course I've learned all kinds of new methods and tricks of the trade so to speak. Hopefully I've been able to help a few along the way.

The WR has helped me with all sorts of small things, though nothing quite as groundbreaking as @antiASKHOLE.

Like Foxy, I just hope I've given back a little.

Love this post!

I think people are always going to recommend interviewing when something negative is going on in your role. But it really is never a bad idea to interview
