Is 200 Cold Calls a Day the New Normal?

I just landed a new job in B2B sales with a $60k base—finally, some stability after burning out in my last commission-only gig. But here's the kicker: they expect me to make over 200 cold calls a day. Is that even humanly possible, or am I just signing up for a new kind of burnout? 😅 I start training next week, and honestly, I have no idea what to expect. Some people say it’s doable, others say I’m toast. I’m just grateful to have a job in this market, but the anxiety is real. My plan is to stick it out short-term, save up, and then chase my real dream abroad. Has anyone survived a job like this? How did you cope? I could really use some advice before I dive in headfirst. 🤔 #CareerAdvice #SalesLife #WorkplaceStruggles #JobCareer

Should I Trade Phone Sales for the Fast Lane of Car Sales?

So here I am, 24 years old, hustling phones in a big-box store in Austin. The money’s not bad—$50k a year, hourly plus commission—but lately, things have gotten weird. New management wants me to log 15 customer messages an hour on Teams, even when the store’s emptier than a ghost town. Oh, and they bumped our sales goals up by 40%. No pressure, right? I used to love this job, but now it feels like I’m one missed target away from the chopping block. I keep thinking, should I jump ship and try my luck selling cars instead? I mean, is it crazy to swap one sales gig for another, or is it crazier to stay where I’m just a number? Would love to hear your thoughts, because honestly, I’m torn. 🤔🚗 #CareerChange #SalesLife #WorkplaceStress #JobCareer
