Pipeline review call with Wife

When I was an SDR, I used to report to an Enterprise Account Executive that would schedule weekly calls with his wife to go through his pipeline so that he could forecast how much she could spend.


If the pipeline wasn't looking great, immediately following the call I would get berated by the AE for not doing enough outreach for him to close business.


I lasted 9 months in the position.


The grass is greener on the other side.

That's the AE's problem, not yours. Dude should be able to prospect on their own.

Nope, no, no way, not happening.

I obviously talk about money coming in to make sure bills are paid with my wife but detailing my whole pipeline? Fuck that.
