She did say she was around for only 6 months and enterprise sales cycles can last 12+. Though I guess if you’re engaging in scammy behavior it can be much less… maybe she wasn’t willing to do that.
Sorry, but if you‘re onboarded in a Sales Team you‘re at first getting small fry customers to get used to your Job. Cloudflare is massive and a complete no-brainer for 95% of companies.

If you can‘t land a single customer in 6 months under these circumstances, you‘re likely just not a good fit.
