I remember the thrill of tossing my graduation cap, degree in hand, ready to conquer the world. Like most of my classmates, I pictured myself in some sleek corner office with a fancy title. And guess what? The job offers did come rolling in! Business Executive, Account Executive, Account Manager, Direct Sales Agent—they all sounded impressive on paper. I took up one, convinced I was on the fast track to success.
But here’s the cold, hard truth: I didn't land a high-powered corporate gig. I landed in sales.
I quickly realized those shiny titles were just camouflage for one essential, terrifying task: persuading a total stranger to part with their hard-earned money for a product or service. And the even scarier part? My four years of college had taught me everything but how to do that. I walked in completely unprepared, navigating a world of quotas, cold calls, and crushing rejection. I felt like I'd been dropped into the deep end of the professional pool without a life jacket.
If you're a recent graduate who felt that same jolt of panic on your first day, realizing that "Executive" really means "Expert Persuader," you're in the right place.
