Thank you Dave.

We share the same outlook on sales and "working without a net". My first two jobs out of college were desk jobs and I hated that. I eventually moved into marketing, which was better, then management consulting as a consultant, and then sales in management consulting. I had a blast and had a few very, very good years - there was rightly no cap on how much we could earn.

For balance, there were also some pretty lean years. Sometimes we would work for a month or more on an RFP only to be rejected. Crafting RFPs that are not accepted nets zero comp!

Thanks again Dave!

Joe

@heyjoe415 All it takes is one big RFP that is accepted and you forget the ones that were not accepted.
Just like one good cold call keeps you on the phone the rest of the day.
The beauty of retirement is that you only remember the good days. Commission sales changed my life. It sounds like it changed yours as well.
Enjoy your day.
