They Mostly Lie to You About the Job

They Mostly Lie to You About the Job

You don't have uncapped commission if average quota attainment is 40%

You don't have a 4 year stock exercise period if average tenure is 18 months

You don't have a career path for SDRs if your AEs are hired externally

You don't have a remote sales job if you have to travel to meetings

You don't have a seat on a rocketship if competitors are crushing you

The amount of false advertising in the sales employment world is abundant.

If employers advertised the truth, few would apply for these jobs.

Bait and Switch should not be used in sales or sales recruitment.

- Talk to current and former employees
- Talk to current and former customers


This is the only way to ensure you're not being sold a false reality.

There are great employers out there, but they're mixed into a sea of bad.

Your first mission as a salesperson is to find a great employer.

This is easier said than done but it's not impossible, it's just a matter of taking your time, not rushing into things, and completing due diligence effectively.

Ignoring red flags today leads to living through them in the future.

It's easy to place blame, but it's much easier to seize control and take ownership.

Before you make your next move, make sure it's well calculated.

Happy Selling,
