Selling human services is exhausting

I sell people who could write. That's basically it. A lot of different things that that covers, but that's the punchline of it all. 


And it's exhausting. 


I continually meet with people/prospect/do all the work that we're all used to doing sell the project and then end up spending a lot of my time talking things through with clients because the Projects team just can't seem to make things work. I wish I had somewhere to tie this up into an engaging post. But frankly I just need to complain to somebody who isn't my dog.


I'm in sales so I obviously have a god complex, but is it too much to ask to have someone else hold things up for a minute?


 It's exhausting.

"Human Services"?    I literally have no idea what that is.    Prostitution?

Complain away. It’s hard not getting the support you need.

I’ve been there. Jump to SaaS. Best decision I ever made.

This makes me think of that corp bro video where he’s talking to a therapist and at the end she tells him to quit being a bitch. 🤣
But, yeah. People suck and counting on them to figure shit out can be maddening. Best of luck.
