Is it sales in general or the process of which you are selling is the problem? I saw another member ask if it was more transactional. I have been in software sales 7 years now. First 6 years selling to health systems and my new job for a year now selling to enterprise level companies. While sales is certainly a roller coaster of emotions and ultimately high risk high reward, it is important to look at the sales process to make sure it is a fit for you. For me, I couldn’t enjoy a transactional system. I enjoy a consultative/educational approach and stay with the customer post sale. Maybe something to consider in your new job search.

This! I embrace my customers and they look to me for everything they need, from performance data, 3D CADS, customization, NDA agreements and field support, wherever that is. It can be frustrating because in a very large company it can be difficult to be the squeaky wheel. You have to also understand the office politics and dynamics in order to serve your customers well.
