I just got let go from my job, not for performance. My role was eliminated. Turns out I trusted the wrong people and ignored the writing on the wall.

A month ago my buddy got cut. I should've read the room. Instead I kept my head down and did my job. That's just how I'm wired.

So here I am. Time to find my next gig.

A little about me:
— Director of Sales experience leading full revenue cycles
— Managed a $3.2M territory at Experian, 105% quota
— Not afraid to get my hands dirty and build my own pipeline 
— Background in SaaS, credit data, and identity protection

Looking for a Senior AE, or Director of Sales, role at a company that has a dope culture.

If something comes to mind, I'd love to connect. charles.joe.thompson@gmail.com |

First Monday without a job since college.

Weird feeling. But I’m not sitting with it.

Here’s how I’m spending my day:

Working the pipeline. Many of you have already put real opportunities in front of me; I see you and I appreciate it. Now it’s time to qualify, vet, and close. That’s what I do.

Going back to basics. Studying. Sharpening. The best reps never stop working on their craft.

DoorDash. Yeah, I said it. Until the next paycheck comes in, I’m not too proud to put in the work. Gotta take care of the family.

Networking. I finally have more time ,let’s connect. Seriously, hit my DMs.

And enjoying the slow mornings with my family. There’s a silver lining in here somewhere.

If you know of a AE, or Director of Sales opportunity in SaaS, fintech, or identity/data — I’m all ears.

Grateful for the village. Let’s get to work. 🦾

Nothing can touch you unless God allows it.



That job you didn’t get.
That relationship that ended.
That opportunity that vanished overnight.

It wasn’t stolen from you.

It wasn’t meant for you.

At least not right now.

And if God is sovereign, really sovereign 
then holding bitterness makes no sense.

You don’t have to carry resentment.
You don’t have to replay the “what if.”
You don’t have to blame people.

If it left, it wasn’t yours.
If it’s yours, it can’t miss you.

And just because it wasn’t for you then
doesn’t mean it won’t be later.

But here’s the deeper truth:

Sometimes it’s not that you lost something good.
It’s that God is protecting you for something better.

“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good…” — Romans 8:28

Trust the closed door.

Being a dad taught me priorities. 
Not balance.


Balance implies everything deserves equal weight. 

Priorities admit that some things don’t make the cut.

Kids make that real because the time is just… gone. Some things you can’t negotiate .

Once I accepted that, work got clearer too. 

Fewer things on the list. The right things.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​🫡

POV:
I make cold calls for a living…

But when my phone rings
I stare at it like this.

You want to build a “big” personal brand?
Cool.
Just know this first:

The clearer you get… the more people you lose.

The more you clarify what you’re about, what you believe, how you think 

The more you disqualify people without ever saying a word to them.

Some will unfollow. Some will decide you’re “not for them.”

Good.

That’s the whole point.

Branding isn’t about being liked by everyone.
It’s about being unmistakable to the right ones.

Clarity repels the wrong fits and magnetizes the right ones 

The clients who actually buy.

The partners who think like you.

The people worth building with.

Think about it this way:

When Steve Jobs returned to Apple in 1997, he killed 70% of their product line.

Less for more people became more for the right people.

Apple went from near-bankruptcy to the most valuable brand in the world.

Your brand works the same way.

If everyone feels neutral about you, you don’t have a brand.

You have noise.

The goal isn’t mass approval. It’s alignment.

So…are you trying to be accepted by everyone?

Or chosen by the right few?
