Having me walk through my pipeline knowing very well that I haven’t met with any of my prospects since we last walked through it a week ago.

"3x that pipeline" - as if that is some magical unicorn number. Nobody even knows why that's the number, it's just regurgitated ad nauseam by literally everyone in sales management for the last 10 years

"we are really excited about this new offering" - I hate when they are so "excited" about everything, it feels fake.

"We're excited because we haven't yet felt the pain of realizing we didn't dot our i's and cross our t's while building this offering."

Metric checking.
Sometimes my dials are down because my meetings were up and the prep was necessary.

Get mad about not having notes in the CRM, but when I do put them in they don't read them anyway

Leaders that aren't prepared to: - Verbally explain - Provide written instructions - Show how to do.
People can learn with either of the three points above, a combination of or sometimes they require all three. I've seen a lot of my "peers" afraid to pick up the phone. It drives me insane.
Finding decent sales leadership is literally a 1/100 shot. 99% of them suck.

Lack of transparency of trying to "spin" bad news. Just tell us straight, we're adults.
