Hey guys,
Getting promoted to a new segment at the beginning of next year. As opposed to the round robin clusterfuck entire USA territory I have now, I'll be regional.
I currently live in Chicago, and the Midwest is the shittiest territory for the type of tech I sell by far. I got off the SDR grind at my company earlier this year and have prospected the entire USA, so I'm making that statement with confidence.
Spoke to my Manager/VP/CRO at our company offsite last week about potentially covering a West Coast territory instead, and they told me I could have it, but I would have to move to be in-market.
The manager of the Midwest is someone I highly respect and would love to work for, but I'm not sure if a good manager can make up for a bad territory. My company was also founded in Chicago so we have a ton of existing clients/legacy business I could use to supplement my pipeline.
My significant other would rather not move which is the main issue here, but would follow me if I chose to do so.
Thoughts? Would you move?
