What's your toxic trait?

I've never cheated on my partner, but I sure as hell have led companies on.

If I'm interviewing with multiple companies, I'll verbally accept the first job offer no matter what for security, and then immediately leave them in the dust if I get a better offer.

I've also worked four sales jobs this year... I promise you each move made sense. My real problem is that I keep getting jobs at shitty companies.

Anyway, what's your toxic trait? How do you suck?

I don’t drink enough beer.

I am too nice to my SDRs and don’t always turn down their BS meetings

I often come across as super serious and angry and can be intimidating at first.

I have a super hard time staying focused and motivated - I wouldn’t say I get depressed by any means, just not like 110% effort all the time. I settle for 85% which pisses me off.

I don’t waterboard my interns enough

I eat tuna with Italian dressing on it and cool ranch Doritos crushed up in it, with a spoon.

Once I've made my mind up on something I don't listen to anyone else's opinions. Could be an opinion that would save me serious trouble in the long run, but I don't give a shit about it.

I endorse this. Read "Relentless" by Tim Grover. Killer Instinct/Instinct in general is to be valued and encouraged. If I make a decision, I'll deal with the fallout, good or bad. I don't need anyone holding my hand.

I work too hard, I care too much, and sometimes I can be too invested in my job.

I tell AE's that the meeting went well even when the prospect wouldn't save them from a burning building afterwards.

is it toxic to sandbag meetings for the following month for your AEs when you're already above quota significantly by the 20th or earlier? hmmmmm always back n forth on this one.....month-month consistency is key, BUT having a fat-dutchie of a month is always great too
