Starting second sales job

today I juggled hitting 7/10ths of quota in a day with onboarding for another role as a founding BDR with back to back meetings juggling laptops

attending one meeting for one company and updating salesforce for another while talking strategy for SDR

joined a lucrative pre-series A company in a new space set to grow like crazy

im in sales for money, can you blame me? 

i hit quota easily in about a week/month at my first gig in a stealth company so I figured why not bank an extra 150k a year with the second? 

yes, two laptops, two calendars, and a slew of calendar wizardry. 

lmao i know its a terrible idea but I want to try it because getting to the 100k a year mark has been a big goal of mine and this was the easiest way to do it for now

wish me well, lets see how long this lasts- ill maybe keep you updated

much love
the kid

Question, how do you handle LinkedIn since sales is big on using LinkedIn.

Also, were you looking at overemployed, they are a site dedicated to this

I have not checked that out, one of my sales jobs uses no linkedIn so I am going to just add my second sales role to my linkedIn itll show how I can do both and ill be even more attractive to potential opps right lol

As long as I can still do my job in the first one and hit kpi’s they dont care

Don’t blame you, have had the thought myself.

I still don’t understand how you manage the LinkedIn thing, since as far as I know basically any manager (at least in SaaS) would require you to be on LinkedIn and would want to connect with you and have you post company content.

What happens when you don’t do that or he finds your profile with a different job?

This is very common in IT jobs, but they are often not on LinkedIn, so I can see how they make it work.

So one of my jobs we literally never use linkedin, Because we are stealth we dont share info or talk about the company publicly, we just cold call people and get them to a meeting and its a short close.

Multiple people in the company have their own side hustles, even whole restaraunts and stuff like that. As long as you are hitting quota they dont care what you do with your time

I got so many questions since this has crossed my mind. I guess your managers don't know you are doing two at the same time , right?
How was the hiring process like?
Any fears?
Your advice for someone considering this?
SADNESSLieutenant

Officer of ♥️
The hiring process was fairly simple, just like any other interview I just said I wanted to make more money but not that I wanted to quit ever

Fears of double booking myself for meetings or managers finding out and firing me therefore but hey Ill still have one job at the end of the day

Will update on advice when I’m further down the road

Why would you ever let them know? I imagine there’s some type of clause in your contract that says you can’t do this
SADNESSLieutenant

The only clause is if it stops you from doing your job so if you can do your job well your fine

I imagine this will be great for trimming down the fat on process and getting to the real $$ activity metrics and discussion points.

Are the industries similar? Are you afraid you'll drop the name and info on one org/product on the others prospect? Can you sell both products to one prospect? So many questions lol

Absolutely, also great for focus, but yeah only doing that 20% of work that leads to the 80% of the results!

Industries are completely different, i can not sell both products to the same prospect lmao. I can use some if the same resources to reach prospects from both though! Combined technstack for the win!!!

This is too cool - if I got to my pro level back when I was single I would have definitely been all over this. That not being the case, I'll be living vicariously through you so please update on any issues with the double life or near misses, and what I assume will end up with hilarity as you have to be on 2 worthless sales team calls at the same time.

Last though, will you have to BS 2 different forecasts or just copy and paste? LOL GET AT THIS and HAPPY HUNTING make all the money and get yourself a lot more monitors for this madness.

We only get a certain amount of leads to work each month and I max those out already, the extra effort to get to 200% of quota isnt worth it for the additional commission plus they would just change up our comp plan sooner than and I dont want to encourage that
