Hi all.

name: d
age: 24
occupation: account manager
industry: tech

it's not easy being a woman in the tech industry. I graduated with a biology degree but i liked sales enough to give it a shot and im in my second quarter as an account manager with a quota. it is SO NOT what i expected it to be.

i joined because i'm looking for a mentor. someone who can give me advice and tips, listen to my whining, etc.etc. lol.

Anyone want to take me under their wing and teach me the ways?

Greetings and Welcome jadedjamba.

Thanks guys - i just have random questions....from sales tips to dealing with the politics to having patience with incompetent coworkers, etc.

I want to soak up and learn as much as I can so bring it on!

Welcome, jadedjamba. One thing you might want to try is to post questions in the "Ask an Expert" area of SalesPractice, but you can also ask questions of the entire community in any of the sections.

It's good to have you here.
