I have been in SaaS sales for years and I think I got to see this more because early on in my career while I was not making much, I also bartended at a nightclub on the side.
SaaS sales has a serious character problem that I think needs to be addressed.
I know, I talk a lot about my dislike for the fact that fraternities dominate the leadership at a lot of SaaS sales teams. However, I wanted to touch on something a bit more sinister, especially in the Start-Up world and was wondering if anyone else has noticed it too. Maybe I am the only one with this unique experience.
Let's just say that most of these guys, you could not trust them around a vulnerable woman who is passed out and leave it at that.
I have lost count of the amount of guys I have worked with or alongside who were creeping women out at Happy Hours. Let's just say that Andrew Tate-like behavior was not that out of the norm in a lot of places.
It's always the sales team at a lot of software companies that is acting like this too and some of these guys, I do not even affiliate with outside of work.
I can't be the only one noticing this, right?
