I hate everything related to marketing, especially and very much the modern form of influencer marketing that's all about interacting with people on social media, posting on profiles, posting comments, replying to them, sending messages, etc. It feels so fake it physically hurts. Worse yet if it includes a blogspam with "a list of top 3 tools in the sector, of course ours is the best" - such a waste of internet bandwidth. Every time I see a guy doing that on LinkedIn promoting something I get a gagging reaction and angrily close the page. If it involves an Instagram profile I run away as fast as I can, I just can't stand the people there. My Facebook profile had last update in 2014 when I uploaded a bunch of photos from a vacation with friends and no further comments, and that's just about enough for me.
I am adequate at sales but still, I hate cold calling and cold emailing - and I have weeks, sometimes months when I just can't bring myself to talk to the prospects even if it's not a cold outreach. And lastly, it's really is a full time job that needs focus and is a source of constant interruption if I'm also trying to develop some software at the same time. It doesn't go together well.
Let me just take care of the computers, that's where I shine.
