Check out all these lambos, boats, and chicks. This could be you if you follow this one simple hack.

How I made 15 figures with an $80 investment: time for a thread on affiliate marketing👇

@gtmba_ This isn’t why the saying sucks.

It sucks because every mediocre startup declares itself a “rocketship” and then uses the quote to convince someone to take a worse or equal role because they should just be grateful to get on.

Coxon was right

Dario is right

@Pipeline_papi If I want a big PG day I’ll go golfing. Calls will come to me

[BowTiedSteer @bowtiedsteer]

Product isn’t the company.

You can have a great product and still have bad leadership, bad territories, a bad comp plan or a market that just doesn’t care enough.

I’m interviewing to figure out if this is a place where I can actually sell and win. Clicking “start free trial” tells me almost nothing about that.

Sounds like those AEs dodged a bullet

[BowTiedSteer @bowtiedsteer]

@sammarelich This.

In this position ~ year ago. Told recruiter I was making 5-600k per yr over the past 3 yrs. Better offer top of pay and equity band + show a path to those earnings in year 1 with MM upside in years 2+

Others playing entry level games wanted the job more and were DQed

[BowTiedSteer @bowtiedsteer]

@FidelCacheFlow Even if it was true who the fuck cares. I’d continue cashing commission checks 10x the size of his biggest deal while he plays the game on “hard mode”

[BowTiedSteer @bowtiedsteer]

@Pipeline_papi Did the opposite and it was the best choice I ever made. Went AE to AE from start up to big company instead of wasting 2 years as SDR.

@pipelineclub100 Close 75%+ of your annual number in Q1, claw to 100% by end of H1 and have a fat pipeline for H2.

[BowTiedSteer @bowtiedsteer]

@BrianLaManna_ You always have the option to leave

@aakashgupta Virtualization didn’t kill server based licensing.

They will just charge a license per agent connection. Non human identities have value

[BowTiedSteer @bowtiedsteer]

@TopCashStacker 0.1%? You’re at the wrong company

[BowTiedSteer @bowtiedsteer]

@SayNoToTrading @pepemoonboy Job is a means to break out of the matrix. This job provides high salary (capital) and remote flexibility (time) to invest back into the break out strategy.

[BowTiedSteer @bowtiedsteer]

The trick is knowing when to stick with “the playbook company” and when to bounce.

I’ve been at two playbook orgs back-to-back, leadership wants you to run the book, but the best reps modernize it quietly. As long as results are there, no one complains.

The time to leave isn’t because it’s a “playbook company.” It’s when the math stops working, quota jumps 30% YoY, territories shrink, or the comp plan dries up. Until then, run the modern playbook inside the old one.

@AKASpencerScott @SMBTelecomGuy 80% or more of their revenue is from large enterprise accounts

[BowTiedSteer @bowtiedsteer]

@JamesonCamp More like ligma

[BowTiedSteer @bowtiedsteer]

Totally accurate, keep those bankers out of tech sales so we can:

- Make mid 6 to 7 figures
- Meet with their c suite to close 8 figure deals
- Who needs “career progression” (politics) when you hit bullet 1
- Colleagues not ambitious? Perfect, less comp plan pressure
- Work remote, live at the beach, skip NYC taxes

Please don’t tell them the truth.

[Restructuring__ @Restructuring__]

Next time you want to complain about your banking / PE job, remember tech sales is the alternative

- Make less than 6 figures
- Cold-calling the entire day 
- Little career progression 
- Colleagues are not smart or ambitious
- Work and live in a third-tier city

Mediocrity

@saas_seller Skipped the SDR role completely by doing option A when jumping into software sales. Would recommend

[BowTiedSteer @bowtiedsteer]

Top reps aren’t looking for a mission statement, they’re looking for upside

And they can smell the difference in the first interview

[BowTiedSteer @bowtiedsteer]

Top reps aren’t picking companies based on “core values” posted in the lobby (AWS)

They’re picking the ones that actually talk about closing revenue

[BowTiedSteer @bowtiedsteer]

One org wants your soul

The other wants to know how fast you can close a $2M deal

That’s the difference between a place that worships its principles
and one that builds a culture around producers
