Ever since my Dad suddenly passed away, I just haven't been the same. My activity numbers have really dipped and so has my closing ratio. These days it's a challenge to even get out of bed. In terms of a job, I have the best boss I've ever worked for and a territory in my current hometown, but I just don't have any joy in what I'm doing anymore. Even when I close deals, I just don't feel anything. Most people don't know, my Dad was also the reason I got into sales and was also a big mentor for my career and I really miss calling him and hearing his excitement after I got the ink, or laughing about how I completely bombed a meeting and how I'll get the next one. Just having a really hard time with simple tasks and I feel like I'm letting my boss and my team down by not posting any good numbers. I've been wondering over the past month if sales is even right for me anymore. I've been getting counseling and if my mental health doesn't improve, I don't really see another option.
Strongly Considering Leaving Sales....
