LPT - Is it normal that a year into my job I still feel overwhelmed.
I’m supposed to work hybrid but mostly in the field going to office’s and other places to visit with customers to talk about upcoming needs and demoing products. However I’m finding my self to be too bogged down with the quote/order creation and sometimes last minute estimating that comes across where I spend a good amount of time looking at drawings on the computer. On top of that I’m expected to be logging everything into a crm and tracking most things to a T. And taking time to strategize.
There’s also the logistical tracking of things & checking of documents & writing emails that take plenty of time away. I just don’t know how to balance it yet I guess. Feels like I can’t balance the computer work with actually going out and talking to my customer where they work at. I feel like I’m only good at understanding how our products work in multiple applications - and I understand how our business works internally. However I’m not that great at outside sales yet really, I’m just there when my customers need me.
