Who's been fired?

Some of us are natural sales people, some of us aren't. But even the naturals can fall into bad habits or hit too many instances of bad luck at once.

I have been fired for failing to meet quota?

I joined a startup as their first sales hire. I was to sell a complex tech to CTO’s and that was something that was very new to me. 

Did a decent job of getting meetings with some Fortune 1000 companies in the first 3 months, but the genius that the CEO was decided that this wasn’t good enough and fired me. The process he followed to fire me is a story for another day. 

Probably #4 is also a part of the reason for this firing lol

It was a terrible fit, I hated what I was doing.  I had to clean dorm rooms and drive for Uber for six weeks before I found my next sales job, I made six figures in my first year.   The best thing that has ever happened in my sales career.

Do we get any more info about this? I feel like there has to be a somewhat humorous story to go with this.

It appears I can't take my own poll, but I could mark all of the boxes.

I haven't personally, but I've seen a lot of reps get dropped for missing too many quotas in a row. If you can't carry your weight it's not a good fit for them to stay.
