Sales teams are often the first and hardest hit. In theory this makes sense, but it can also completely hobble the whole company.

I was literally in a meeting this morning where a co-worker mentioned he had reached out to Cloudflare a few days ago to ask about buying services and has not gotten a response. Certainly not a great start.

Maybe a benefit of sales layoffs will be a real pricing page! Hard to "Contact Sales" when there isn't any.

I really really really hate this. As a decision maker, I have SEVERAL times recommended or chosen specific products because the price was available vs a competitor that had a "contact sales".

I'm too old for this shit.

Contacting sales is literally subscribing to spam and being hassled by a desperate salesperson from that point onwards. I mean, that already happens with cold-contacting, but getting flagged as a MQL in a CRM makes it even worse.
