What is equivalent of Open Source Developers in Sales Community?

Hi All,

I have observed Open Source developers over many years. They are smart devs at companies , good programmer , bored to death at work but super passionate about making software - So they freely, on weekends, in spare time contributed to opensource communities. to learn and to build something new. This in-turn helps them become more confident at work.


What is it for the Sales People? Outside of the main job, do you have things you may want to do? that eventually fuels your growth within company? Do you sell something on the side? on weekends? ecommerce? online store? Marketing content?

We get into sales so we don’t have to work any more than humanly possible. 

In my free time, I drink gin and look better than everyone else.

Hendrick’s is my tried and true. But I’ve recently enjoyed a bottle of Caorunn Scottish Craft, excellent stuff. <br><br>Tbh I will slum it from time to time and go for some Gordon’s tho, reminds me of uni

That's cool. I am too burned out and need my weekend for claw, shenanigans in general, and of course #nobrasunday.

Honestly, I wait for the weekends to spend more time with my family.

I use my vocation to fuel my advocations. Sometimes I help people with their resume (for free) and I advise a couple buddies on their side hustles.

The War Room is our OS environment, providing value back to the community.  

Other than that, my contributions to my fellow sales peeps is to help my new colleagues get situated so we all crush it.  Then I have my free time to not do sales things.
