How do I handle this new job?

So I started working a new job a few months back and it’s been an adjustment, I love the job and I make pretty decent money but that is heavily reliant on my co workers.

I work in sales and I’m essentially an assistant to the main sales team my job is to bring in customers and assist those customers for what they are looking for in terms of the products we have most of this is done via telephone and especially on computer. I’m at a desk and computer most of the day.

In most of my jobs especially new ones there’s always a learning curve and adjustment period but this one I don't know it makes me feel stupid I make A LOT of mistakes even simple ones I’ve made before I think because of this the sales people I work with don’t really like me much.

There are some especially who are for lack of a better word some real dickheads for no reason half the time. I’m the time a person especially at a job like this to just keep my head down and keep it pushing in most instances. But I feel like these salesman even when you don’t mess up are Unnecessarily rude to people that are supposed to be their co workers.

For example today the manger of my division told my team to reach out to the sales people of pending deals we had helped with to see if the desks will go through before this month is over so we can get a cut of the credit.

Simple and we do this every month around this time of the month I asked one sales person about a deal and his response to me was

“why are you asking? canceled along time ago”

Now maybe it’s just me but he posed the question as if it was supposed to be obvious that the desk was canceled which for context that’s not something I can see on my end.

Which is why my manger had us go through and follow up in the first place I just think it was really unnecessary could’ve simply said the deal got canceled. Then I asked him about to other desks that were pending which he decided to ignore me on.

Thats what I’m dealing with, any advice on how to deal with this?

Navigating a new job, especially in sales, can be challenging. Focus on building relationships and communication. Approach colleagues with understanding and empathy. When facing rudeness, respond calmly and professionally. Ask for feedback constructively to show your willingness to improve. Document key interactions to ensure clarity and accountability. Consider discussing consistent issues with your manager to seek support. Lastly, keep adapting and learning; with time, your confidence and competence will grow, leading to smoother interactions with your team.

Damn, that sounds like a really tough situation, man. Having to deal with those condescending and rude sales guys on top of already struggling with the learning curve at a new job - that's gotta be super frustrating.

I get why you're feeling like the "stupid" one, even when you're just trying to do your job. Those assholes are definitely not making it any easier. But you can't let them get you down, bro.

The best thing you can do is just keep your head down, focus on learning and improving, and try not to let their negativity bring you down. When they're rude or dismissive, don't take it personally. Brush it off and keep pushing forward.

And don't be afraid to stand up for yourself when it gets to be too much. If a sales guy is being an unreasonable dick, politely call them out on it. Maybe bring it up to your manager if you have to. You don't have to just take that kind of treatment.

Just remember, you got this job for a reason. You've got skills and you're capable of doing it well, even if there's a learning curve. Keep learning, keep trying, and those skills will start to click. And who knows, maybe some of those sales guys will come around once they see how dedicated and hardworking you are.

Just stay positive, bro. You're doing better than you think. Don't let the haters get you down. Keep grinding, and you'll be crushing it in no time.
