So many dudes go do sales or lead gen for a company that is inherently garbage and then believe they’re bad at what they do.

“Anon, you’re not closing any deals”

“Oh no I must be bad at this”

Very large percent of time the company just has nonsense

Example:

You’re selling a $5,000/year software.

Prospect asks “do you have any case studies or results from current clients”

Logically then you approach company you’re working for and ask “hey can I get some case studies”

They respond with some dumb shit like

“No that is confidential information. Everybody else closes the deals without those why can’t you?”

If anybody else is closing those deals it’s because they’re using high pressure sales tactics or they ALREADY knew the person so it’s not cold traffic.

The problem then arises young guys starting out in sales or lead gen then have their minds warped (because they don’t know any better) to be believe theyre NOT GOOD.

False.

You would make astronomically higher income if you instead worked for a company that understands ACTUAL marketing.

Non if this bullshit “brand awareness” nonsense

> Bold promise
> Results to back up said claim
> Evidence company can successfully execute

If none of these are present do not work with the company.

“We close clients without that”

Yes because your dad referred them to you. Grow up
