A long-term plan cut short.🙈
Navigating the job market can be tough, especially when looking for the perfect role that matches your skill set. I took my time to ensure everything was right —the position, product, team, culture, etc.
I asked plenty of questions during the interviews to be thorough and make sure I was on the right path.
A promising start. Starting a new, not previously existing role (full sales cycle) within a growing company, things were a bit more unpredictable. The first day, first demo was booked, and from here on, it was smooth sailing getting up to speed. The team was great, and colleagues were incredibly supportive.
Being part of a small team allowed me to test new strategies and accelerate the sales process and start working towards the set goals.
8 weeks in, I received a call informing me that my position was eliminated. Without any prior feedback on the progress during this time....
🙌 Despite the abrupt end, the meetings I booked, new outreach methods, and successful demos led to deals closing even after I left. (A win is a win!)
😅 However, expecting miracles in just two months is unrealistic. It's unprofessional, a gamble, and a waste of time for everyone involved.
🔥 Let's hire with a clear plan and realistic goals. New hires want to succeed, and companies benefit when their existing team isn't constantly onboarding new people every other month.
