I feel ya bro. They walked in on the company I had worked for right at 22 years, told us to get out, they were bankrupt. We had no idea. Pretty large company too. We were self insured, so my wife and 3 kids had no insurance, no severance pkg. last paycheck bounced, and they were stealing our 401k money. Oh, did I tell you we just sold our house, and we’re due to close the next day on the new one? Oh yeah, mortgage co found out and told us to frick off. Everything I owned was in a moving truck, and nowhere to put it. Had to drive it to a hotel for a couple of days while I found a new job.
That being said, 3 months later we did move in to the house, changed jobs again shortly thereafter, and I am doing better than ever. That was 11 years ago.


Dam son. That’s pretty crazy.

You are a sales manager if I am correct?
I could say sorry, but it will not help you help yourself.

Do not let this get you down or you will sink your ship which is you. Your family depends on you.

Sell yourself to that next employer. Look at this as an obstacle and figure out a plan to get yourself employed again.

If you figured out how to sell to difficult clients along with getting around gatekeepers, you can make a plan. Execute that plan and tweak it. Make yourself extremely marketable. This is your new job 24/7.

Reach out to friends, former clients, and your competitors to see if they need your services.

In sales you got to show that decision maker looking for a great sales manager that you can grow their profits and business.
