If I miss quota I just start drinking my own blood.

If I hit quota I just down a bottle of Kahlua.

Gin and tonic with a lime twist when you're celebrating.

Gin straight from the bottle with a side of more gin when you're crying.

Difference in type/brand depending on hitting or missing? I would punish myself with some Johnnie Walker red label for missing and reward myself with a Glenfiddich 21 or similar for hitting!

Drinking anything is for closers.ย 

If you miss quota you get to sit there and wallow in the stench of your own self pity.ย 

Or just have tequila like me lol

I've found zen about missing quota. But when a big deal doesn't close, that's a good IPA until you're ready to pass out reason.
