It’s become basically impossible to work. The experienced boss retired, and now they put a 28-year-old woman in charge who doesn’t seem to know the job. It feels like a mess. It’s awkward to report to...

Whether we like it or not the workforce has always been getting younger. There was a point where we were the young new person in the office with the... "little experience" in a position that may have been bigger than us. We persevered and so will this person...and so will you. Use your experience to complete the tasks set for you. Understand that change, demography and workplace structure are ever changing. Generational gapping is not new, it's just new to you at this stage. Why they got the position is none of your concern. You are there to do a job, so do it. Fretting about the why someone else's path is what it is is none of your concern. Focus on what you need to do to maintain your home and lifestyle and the day to day will get easier. Hope this helps. more

I have two jobs, sales b2b and life insurance and cannot make one sale either way. Any suggestions?

What is your method? Sometimes it's in the approach. Also remember that you are included in the sale. How you approach the meeting, present yourself... and the product and show the benefit to them will help you close deals. You gained the meeting because they identified a need and wanted to learn more about it. Your job is to listen and learn more about the pain points and present your products in a manner in which you address those pain points without causing more pain. Add value in your presentations, don't just sell. Sometimes when you've gone without the yes for so long it shows to the customer. Claim it at the door and it will be yours when you leave. Hope this helps more
