Deal Story

MeowMeow closed a deal for $1.2M to the IT / Security / DevOps department

Ever close monster and feel sick? I’ve poured myself into this for a year and if I ever see a penny of this commission, I’d be absolutely shocked.


This was ready for execution at 3pm on Friday, the last day of quarter. My signer went MIA and got around to it many hours later, pushing the counter signature to not hit until today. It’s booked as Q2, but not really because that would blow my Q2 quota out of the water so we’ll count this as Q1 but then get paid in Q3 and basically who even cares at this point because I wasted a year of my life to finally have this win and I hate it.

You closed it and not getting commission? Especially after all the work you've done on it?!

Sorry if i misunderstood.
Be proud man thats big dawg shit. Big deals are a big hassle and effort for a reason.
Its worse when you have the small shit deals that cause you same amount of effort or headaches

It’s a whole thing in another post but the jist is my company has been actively trying to screw me out of commission on this for the past 6 months. Then I was accused of riding my entire year on this one deal. Insinuating I don’t show up every day and bust my ass for these ungrateful fucks.

Thats Bullshit man. Im sure you already done this but read up on your comp plan. Keep receipts like @oldcloser said. Similar thing happened to a guy at my place. He sued, think he won, closed more business, got paid on those deals too and then dipped and left the company hanging. Sometimes people don't know what they have until its gone.

I do. Now I’m probably going to have to hang on until mid-July to get paid. Thoroughly expect them to fired me before that.

Such a fucking waste of time, and resources. Would rather get the axe, severance and move the fuck on.

I feel your pain on long waits for commission. Anything I sell has to be fully implemented and depending on how long it takes it can be months and months till they finally go live 🙃
Congrats on this monster!
