So my first gig out of college was as an SDR at a B2B SaaS company. I eventually moved up to start closing deals, and was killing it. I had a 40% close rate where the floor average was 25%, and never had a month where I didn't hit/ exceed quota.
Unfortunately, one day upper management decided that we were being paid too much, and cut our commissions in less than half, so i left. Looking back I wish I had found another job in SaaS before leaving, I ended up selling a terrible product at a startup.
Not having any conviction behind what I was selling, didn't perform very well. Now about a year later I'm applying non stop to tech sales positions but haven't even gotten nibble.
Any advice/ recommendations?
