which one is missing let me know fast before I engage 💍 claude🤪😂😜

A founder reached out to me about an SDR role. Commission only. No base. And oh, there is a £250 training fee to join. I read that and thought I must have misunderstood. I didn't. The conversation went on for hours. He explained that training takes time and costs money. I explained that every company I have ever joined trained me because that is what onboarding is. He then said he will offer me a base and that should show me that he was betting on me. I said me even considering joining was already a bet on him. He said leave it then. I left it. Here is the lesson for anyone in sales navigating job offers right now. When a company asks you to pay to work for them, that is not an opportunity. That is a transaction where you are the customer not the hire. A company that cannot afford to train you cannot afford to support you when you need tools, resources or backup to close deals either. The meme says it all. They want Haaland performance with nothing to work with. Know what you are walking into before you sign anything. What is the biggest red flag you have spotted in a job offer? Drop it below. P.S. Walking away from the wrong opportunity is how you stay available for the right one. Follow if you want more of the real conversations that happen behind the scenes in sales.

Someone said we should turn off AI for a week to see if people's brains still work. I laughed 🤣. Then I thought about it for too long. Because honestly, what would actually break for me? I open Claude every single day. Not to write my messages for me though. I use it to handle the stuff that eats my time without needing my brain. Research. Formatting. Spotting patterns in what is and is not working. The actual outreach part, reading the prospect, finding the right opening, knowing when to push and when to leave it alone, that is still me. If you are an SDR using AI to replace your thinking you are going to struggle the moment the tool is gone or the moment a prospect pushes back and the script runs out. But if you are using it to move faster so you can spend more time on the human stuff, that is a completely different game. My brain still works. I just stopped wasting it on things that do not require it. Turn off AI for a week? Do not try this at home. But if you did, would your process survive?

Happy to announce i just got a new gig New energy, about to crush it ✨️ New me, about to top the quota 🔝 Just kidding 😂 😜 🤪 Day two hit different. Same role. Different company. I walked in thinking I already knew how this works. Then onboarding started and humbled me fast. Different CRM. Different way of qualifying. Different definition of what a good lead even looks like. Even the sequences felt like a different language. I was honestly shocked. Not the bad kind. The kind that makes you sit down, close your mouth and start asking questions. The moment I stopped assuming I knew better and actually learned how this specific company operated, things started clicking. That is the part nobody posts about. Everyone puts up the "thrilled to announce" post. Nobody talks about Tuesday when you realise your old playbook does not work here and you have to start learning again from scratch. Every company has what works for them. Your experience is useful but it is not a shortcut. You still have to learn the room first. The SDRs who ramp up fastest are not the most experienced ones. They are the most coachable. What is something a new role taught you that your experience almost made you miss? P.S. Follow if you want the honest version of what building a sales career actually looks like. No thrilled to announce energy here.
