Coronavirus - Lost my sales job
« on: March 18, 2020, 07:25:24 AM »
Just started as a senior account exec for a new company a couple weeks ago. Over the last three days all their sales for the next three months have been cancelled. As a result I was let go along with 4-5 other people. I thought this virus stuff was a joke but I actually lost my damn job.

Hopefully I値l go back in 2-3 months but who knows.

Good. Now go look for a job that doesn't require you to have a similar skill set as a sex worker.

Being a senior account exec, I'm confident you've heard the rule, "keep 6 months savings at all time".  With your minimum 6 months savings, you'll be fine.  Just ride this virus out.

The virus is a JOKE/HOAX, but the hysteria and irrational thinking is real

You were let go this quick?

ALL of the company's sales were canceled for the next three months? What do they sell?  Do you only have one primary client?

They didnt even try to hold out for two weeks just an immediate dismissal?

Sorry to hear this, hopefully when things start getting better you are in prime position to pick up where you left off. That's if you still want to work for this particular company after this debacle.

I also work in sales and we are doing all we can to get through it. Obviously leads have plummeted but still a lot of people not acting hysterical or irrational and will do business with a professional firm that handles the circumstances well.

Losing a sales job isn't possible. The art of selling simply means you convince someone to buy something. So just insert a new product or service in place of the one you last sold. Voila- new job. In fact you aren't a salesperson worth a shit if you need someone to employ you at it.

My first "sales" job was after I bought a tractor trailer load of high tech but obsolete tech gear from a factory that closed down- all for the princely sum of $600 since it was being scrapped. About $20K later I realized I was now a salesman, haha.

I was a salesman for years and you are on the money, bro.
