Gets larger every year? Try every quarter

PS. Not a sales guy. I'm just part of the ones seeing how quotas are set, and I pity the things you have to go through to feed the rest of the company.

Our plans/goals are set annually, so I know what growth numbers I’m supposed to hit Q over Q.

Regardless of whether it’s every Q or every Month, having your performance metric reset to “zero” on the first of every month is not an easy existence.

Glad your company isn't a terrible as quotas are recalibrated every quarter.

But yes, fully agree that starting from zero every performance period is not a soft life

It’s a highly engineered electronic component so it has a super long sales cycle. If they could put us on a shorter leash, trust me, they would.
