People in tech sales: Share 3 points of advice/hard truths about the field.

This is without a doubt a very lucrative career, possibly even a little underrated with new workforce, provided you're able to meet quotas and are good at it.

3 things I've learnt so far are:

  1. Client doesn't care what your product offers 90 percent of the time
  2. U gave to establish a trade-off between long term and short term goals
  3. Things are slow, day to day is super operational. Impact creation is always a hit or miss

Let me know yours!
