| | Work it, girl.I am looking for a new job. It's only been 5 months at my current job, but as much as I absolutely love my company and believe in everything we're trying to acheive, I'm starting to feel like working in Sales is toxic to my overall well-being.
I can't sleep at night because I'm up all hours thinking and worrying about work. How can I reach my targets? What am I doing wrong? Why aren't more of my prospects closing? Do I even like what I'm doing?
If there is anything I've learned from this experience, it's that I have an intense need to feel important, or at the very least usefull to my company. Sales is driven by numbers, so when my numbers are lower than my monthly targets the way they have been the past two months, my personal confidence sinks below healthy targets as well. Every day I get on the elevator and head towards my car, I feel like a monkey could do accomplish the same if it just knew how to speak english.
The truth is, Sales has never been my passion. I don't think I've ever woken up a single day of my life and truly felt excited to cold call people and ask them for money. The product I sell is amazing. I just don't know if I want to sell it anymore.
I don't know what I'm going to do. If I don't find another job soon with a comparable pay structure, I'm going to get fired anyway. I know I'm toast, but I can't just leave without having something else lined up.
I just wish I knew what I wanted to do...and that there were plenty of positions open for me to pursue.
