"Placement” Culture: Being the Backup on a Bad Team

Garrett Croll

14d (edited) • General discussion

This might sting a bit - good - it's supposed to:

You’re not a closer.

You’re the person on the bench waiting for permission to 'play.'

In sports, backups don’t decide when they play.

The coach does.

And when do they usually get put in?

'Garbage time'.

When the game’s already decided.

When the starters are resting.

When nothing is on the line.

That’s PLACEMENT.

You’re not getting real reps.

You’re not getting momentum.

You’re not getting pressure, trust, or opportunity.

You're not getting PAID.

You’re doing mop-up duty.

Running out the clock so the “real” closers don’t have to.

Handling leftovers.

Taking low-intent calls.

Getting the slop.

Then being told, “Just be patient. Your time will come.”

No, it won’t.

Because you don’t control the field.

You don’t control the ball - you don't control shit.

Someone else does (sounds like a boss you got into remote sales to avoid).

And this part will sting even more:

If you need someone else to place you…

You’re not a professional, you're not a closer.

You’re a dependency, relying on someone else to dictate your future.

You're a bench warmer.

Elite closers don’t wait to be 'subbed in.'

They put themselves in the f*cking game.

They create leverage and opportunities.

They find direct access to offers.

They’re starters.

They play when it matters.

They get real reps.

They get real outcomes- RESULTS.

If you’re comfortable sitting on the bench, hoping your name gets called—

Placement culture is perfect for you.

If you want control, income stability, and real opportunity?

Stop waiting to be put in the game...

and walk the f*ck onto the field, the arena, and decide for YOURSELF.

In sales, just like sports...

'Garbage time' doesn’t make legends.
