Hey y'all. I'm currently working at a company where the territory I'm in is brutal. Zero activity, my field rep got fired a couple months ago, people on my team haven't sold anything, I haven't sold anything since July, and the field team my team supports hasn't sold but one deal in the last 2 years.
So, needless to say, I've got to change something cause my income is not working for me. A lot of people I work with are starting to look around also.
Me and some colleagues brought up an interview question. What do we say when they ask about our performance to quota here? Obviously I haven't performed here, but the vast majority hasn't either. So how do you answer this question?
do you lie and say you're over quota? Or do you tell the truth and say the market is not favorable?
I'm the type of guy that hates to lie, but at the same time I've got to get somewhere I can make an income to support the family.
Do I say something along the lines of "Look, I don't want you to hold this against me, but I haven't sold anything this year. But neither has my team. But, at my last job I was consistently above 100% to plan... yada yada yada."
What would you Red Raiders suggest?
