B2b sales aren't like you trying to sell cars for a used car dealer. It can take months to years to land a customer. A sales guy might land a customer every six months that pays their salary several times over. And if you hire a sales guy when your business is stalled or declining that isn't his fault.

Some friends tried to get me to apply for a job working on a Java virtual machine. My friend said it took him six months to commit his first changes. Once you get outside of standard enterprise Java and webshit the above is more common.

A sales guy might land a customer every six months that pays their salary several times over." After watching the video again, it sounds like she needed to land a sale within 5 months (she started in August). We also don't know what other stats the company has on her. Was she sitting at her desk and watching Netflix all day? Not making phone calls? Not contacting enough customers? "My friend said it took him six months to commit his first changes. Once you get outside of standard enterprise Java and webshit the above is more common." There are probably some other internal goals/something that shows you are making progress besides lines of code in your example. I was just using this as an example.
