I've been where you are.
I spent 12 years in corporate sales. Good companies. Good paychecks. Hit quota every year. Got promoted. Did everything right.
But the machine owned me. My quota reset every January. My comp plan changed. My territory could get reassigned to the new guy. I was making $200K a year and owned nothing.
Seven months into my first startup, I had two deals in procurement. Forty-two thousand dollars in commission sitting on the table. They let me go. Not for performance. A values thing. My wife's face when I told her stuck with me for years.
That's when I stopped asking "Am I good enough?" and started asking "Who do I want to work for?"
The answer was: me.
I built a fractional BDR agency from zero. No investors. No partners. No debt. Month one I broke even. Month three, $14K. Month six, $30K+ in pure margin with six freelancers. No employees. No overhead.
I built ExitRep because I got tired of watching smart salespeople compromise their values for a paycheck. Your skills are worth more than a salary. You just need the structure to prove it.
