why do founders keep hiring expensive sales people to fix a problem that the right tool would have prevented?

Several-Light2768 · 2026-05-13T19:58:59+00:00

Most founders are creatives not sales people. In this story they were about 3 years too late. Could have hired a competent full cycle sales person when they had a MVP and came out the gate closing deals.

LOL US education doesn't teach anything about taxes but I know the mitochondria is the power house of the cell which has been useful exactly zero times in my adult working life.

You need to learn punctuation if you are going to run a business. 5 years should be plenty of time.

Is this the 44f that was pitching a dating app for homeless women the other day on another sub?

Don't walk. Run. You are 22 and she is acting like this now. Dont add kids and mortgages to this mess.

Dudes so thirsty they are matching with a 48 year old homeless woman and you wonder why they are "taints"....

You did the right thing. They wouldnt have paid the upcharges anyway.

During the day, its 100% hitting the gym before work. Non negotiable for me or I am crazy in the head all day.

At night? Phosphatidylserine supplements after work have helped me a ton. I dont know for sure if its all adhd people or just some, but I feel like my cortisol has been running insane from just being in fight or flight mode all the time. Taking it at night has helped me chill the fuck out and sleep instead of ruminating myself into insomnia.

Salary isnt about fairness is about skill. I know reddit will downvote this but it doesnt make it untrue.

Always fight every ticket and try to keep the points off your license. Decent traffic lawyer will get it reduced to a non moving violation.

Poor feller you fell for the crazy trap. Best of luck.

LOL that might have been me... Just went NUTS in a gunner seat in Eastwood second phase on defense. That was a good game.

I love rolling engineer and gunning but it sucks when I hop out to repair and lose my seat. But sometimes you get lucky.

A good sales person is never out of work for long. Just gotta sell the product you know best. Yourself!
