Well it's been a weird year... But I'm coming out stronger and better

I started a new position at a company I was unsure about, in an industry I was new to, with a product I knew next to nothing about, and a team of young and inexperienced grunts and leaders. I entered the worst possible situation in some people's minds, but I am ending Q4 as the top salesman in my firm, and I am happy to see my growth, progression, and income have soared rather than declined. It was a weird and wild year, but I'm heading out the other side better than I started. What about you? Ending the year better than you started? Any changes you plan to make? Any wins you want to share?

Changing companies is stressful enough, but changing industries and crushing it definitely deserves some congratulations!

Like a few others, 2021 was great. 2020 had me making more than I ever have and I beat that record again this year.

I'm a worrier, so the fact I've already booked 3/4 of my 2022 quota means I can sleep well through the holidays.

That's a great story, congrats.

I joined a new company two weeks into January.ย  It's been an adjustment, but hugely positive.ย  I feel much more valued than I did at the old company, and, most importantly, the money and the potential is much higher.

Changes?ย  Hope that next year is smoother and better as I should be pretty well ramped up in 22.
