Episode 13: Investigative Checklist: 4 Things to Vet Before Accepting a Sales Role

STOP. Before you sign that offer, ask yourself: Am I walking into a paycheck... or a trap?

You wouldn't rush a dynamic entry without intel. So why are you treating your next career move like a coin flip? The sales world is high-risk, high-reward, and the biggest mistake former officers and current sales reps make is signing for a salary without vetting the mission.

In this episode, we're giving you the Investigative Checklist—the four pieces of critical intelligence you must gather before you commit:

The Mission Viability: Is there a true need for the product, or are you selling smoke?

The Money Trail: How to decode base salary vs. commission and vet the real risk of the territory.

The Backup: How to Google and vet your C-suite to ensure your leaders align with your values.
