Stop looking for problems to fix and fix the problems YOU are already experiencing in your day-to-day job.

Hardest part? Only being able to call the leads assigned to me. 90% are scammers just trying to access the payment platform to enable their IRS scams (or some variation therein). The others are free trial signups who didn't even realize they had a trial.

I might technically be a B2B AE, but I feel more like a cross between an SDR and a B2C sales rep most of the time.

High volume cold calling. I hate it and my only goal with it is to build up enough of a client base so I don’t have to do it anymore.

Currently, it’s pressure from the powers that be to get sales everyday, and this is with our crm a disaster, no marketing campaigns of any kind in place and refusal from the team to change up their approach.
