Currently crying: First Sales Rep at Start Up

So I was hired 3 months ago for a 8 year old company that stopped getting inbound/recommendations leads and realized they needed to generate meetings somehow. This is an offshoring company and of course they searched for someone in Latin America (me). I have proven track record of being the first SDR at companies with successful results.

So I was hired 3 months ago for a 8 year old company that stopped getting inbound/recommendations leads and realized they needed to generate meetings somehow.

I have proven track record of being the first SDR at companies with successful results.

Everything went well at first and when I got my offer letter it had a lower base salary than what I asked – this salary is for someone that has less experience and doesn’t know how to figure out what a company needs, because of my financial situation I accepted.

What I had to do is request the tools needed for q successful sales department to have, I suggested multiple domains and to warm them up first, also I crafted all email sequences from scratch depending on the vertical and company size I was targeting.

The CEO didn’t like my sequences and stated I lied on my resume because I told them I did all the copywriting in my previous company (it was true but he doesn’t like my wording)

He’s been pushing me around and whenever he has a chance he mentions I don’t know how to do things and hired a sales advisor to coach me this Monday.

Got a better offer with better base pay plus OTE (3K USD vs 1.8K previously) this is because I live in a “cheap country”

.Today I tried quitting and they complained that I would be leaving everything at the middle and that they have invested a lot of money on this, also that why was I searching for a job instead of fully focusing on building the sales department.

Do you think I’m just being weak or do I have a point?
