They say they finished last year at 26.2 percent of quota, placed third out of 12 reps, but with doubled quota this year they were pacing to only 30 percent while none of the team was pacing to hit quota halfway through the fiscal. The author acknowledges they did not “dig in” enough during the interview process, missed red flags, and believes the biggest reason for failure was their own choices despite working long hours, traveling weekly, and investing $20,000 in sales coaching. They conclude they will do thorough due diligence going forward as they seek the next opportunity.
