Sales 101 - HYD Mixer
Your day, roughly: you send a follow up that starts with "just circling back."
The prospect who was "very interested" last week has now forgotten how e-signatures work.
Someone said "let me loop in my team" and the loop went nowhere.
You updated the CRM with "had a great conversation," left the next step blank, and felt zero guilt.
It's 7pm, the number's still short, and you get to run it all back tomorrow.
Somewhere in that, when were you supposed to actually meet other people who do this for a living?
That's the whole point of the mixer.
No speakers, no slides, no one making you align on anything.
Just Hyderabad's SaaS folks, AEs and SDRs and everyone in between, in one room with drinks and snacks, talking to each other for a change.
Because sales is a weirdly lonely job.
You close a deal and celebrate it alone at your desk. A prospect ghosts you three days before quarter end and you refresh your inbox like they owe you money.
Nobody at home wants to hear about the deal that "slipped to next quarter."
But the person standing next to you at the mixer? They lost the exact same deal last month.
They've sent the exact same cringe follow up. And they've probably cracked a couple of things you're still stuck on.
So come hang out. Meet a few people who speak your language.
Trade the stories you can't tell anyone else. Find out who's hiring, who's got the good lines, who's just fun to be around.
No pitch. No pressure. Just your people, one room, one evening.
See you there. 🍻
