These are more specific to my role. Sales was definitely not the right career for me. My managers and coworkers were willing to help but I'm not great at talking to people on the phone so overall, their efforts couldn't help me.
- quotas seemed unreasonably high
- although it's inbound, almost 75% of leads that get sent to you are either fake or not a great fit
- time zones played a huge issue; I was given a lot of international leads, so I could only call them during my night hours when I was already well off of work. My only options were to call at 11pm at night or give them to another SDR and lose out on a potential meeting
