I'll start: fuck the haters, hockey stick up and to the right.
What would you tell your younger self about sales/career?

A verbal yes and a signed docu-sign are two completely different things
Was about to say it,took it from my mouth:)
If its in a recorded sales call, well it is actually 🥹
Dont take anything personally or seriously and trust nobody.
Approach any situation with a light heart and dont take it seriously, if someone bats you back or provides feedback, dont take it personally but grow from it, even if it was personal and finally dont expect anyone to do anything they say they will do. Not that people dont do what they will say but the moment you stop expecting it the better life is.

Trust no one
Get over your fear of cold calling and get into sales out of college.
I feel like a <redacted> being an SDR in my mid twenties. I could be an AE by now but young BTQ was lazy.

For me, I didn't even know that sales was a realistic option. Wasted my early to mid-20s on dead-end retail jobs. Got into financial services at 26, but man I wish I had known about selling software at 23.
Don't spend money that hasn't hit your account.
But that is how I stay motivated
I would tell myself you're an idiot if you're gonna give your check to your wife and have her handle all the bills.
Lol. Sorry buddy.
Sales ain’t easy but tough neither $$
Get the technical degree.
I would tell myself that sales will bring you good days and it will also bring you bad days. On the days where you feel like you've gotten your teeth kicked in, take a break, re-group, and get back on the horse as quickly as possible. Sales is a business and a "no" shouldn't be taken personally. Additionally, ALWAYS BE CURIOUS. Hone your skills and continue to learn; don't be afraid to ask questions.
The best one so far
Thank you!! I’ve been in this business for over 20 years. This pretty much sums up what I’ve learned!
Don’t count your money until the check clears your account.
that financial services career you THINK you want?......dont do it.
Suit up dog cmon man
All this time working retail 6 days a week is going to help mold you into a killer, valuable, thought leader, SALES SAVAGE!! S.A.D.N.E.S.S.
