Anybody else dreading long commutes due to rising gas prices? Almost paying double to fill up the tank

I had a prospect tell me yesterday that our competitor's rep texts him on weekends and evenings to stay top of mind. Are we really expected to do this now or is this crossing a line?

What’s the most creative way you’ve ever gotten a meeting with a prospect who was completely ignoring your outreach?

I spent a long time thinking that moving into management was the obvious next step in a sales career and then watched several of the best reps I knew become mediocre managers almost overnight, and it made me rethink the whole ladder. How do you think about career growth in sales and do you feel like the path to individual contributor ceiling is clearly defined at your company or is management treated as the only legitimate move up?

After 20 years in sales, I've started a new job in a low-stress role. I should be relieved, but I also have serious personal stress that has triggered massive burnout. I’ve always been good at this, but right now I am mentally checked out. I don't want to lose this job, but I also don't feel like working anymore. If you were me, would you take a short sabbatical or try to find something outside of sales?
