 Software sales. Long time. Primarily did startups the last 12 years or so. Pre-IPO to IPO phase. Shit ton of travel & extremely high pressure.  I’m good at it. Very.  

Covid was the kicker for me. That exposed so much shit that it was hard to not see it. I couldn’t visit a company or go to my own company events for over 2 years as I wasn’t vaxxed.    They were so afraid of me. It was kind of funny tbh. Clown show was hard to accept.  The shift back to “normalcy” just made me more angry.  Fucking NPC’s everywhere. 
 Wow really interesting, thanks for sharing.

I think a lot of people are feeling being burnt out and for most, it’s really difficult to get out of the rut. 🤙 
 I’m an interesting mothafucka. 🤝 
 😂 
 Interesting man, enterprise mostly? I build. I can't sell for shit. Hate people too much.

Will keep you in mind on JV if my health ever improves enough to build anything significant. 🤣 Also off, indefinitely. 

I know the feeling. Smart to put health high, but as you say, need something to fight. 
 Only Enterprise.  You’d 100% know the names of my last 3 that went IPO. 
I started at the big boys like Oracle/Peoplesoft/SAP. Years ago. Many moons. 
 Man if you can sell that shit, you can sell anything 🤣🤣🤣👏👏 
 Understand MEDDIC if you ever want to sell. 
And be honest. Good salespeople don’t lie.
