I worked with a woman at HubSpot who was an AE there for 10 years.

She easily could have moved into management but she didn't want to because she absolutely crushed her role due to having a super dialed in process.

One of the main contributors to her success was being able to clearly determine what was real and what wasn't in her pipeline.

This is one of the things she'd do to pressure test her Opps to gain that clarity. 🧵

Step 3: Genuine Rejections

Nothing burns a bridge faster than rejection w/o a reason. To keep things human, add a short, clear reason in rejection emails.

Keep It straightforward & honest.

Most people appreciate transparency; they’ll feel respected & consider applying again

I'm saddened that @fioapp is shutting down. There is NOTHING else like this. Can you open-source the code or anything? Every other time-zone app is junk :(
