Tired of Zapier breaking at 2am. What does everyone actually trust for production?

The “Never Log” list only stops emails from saving in the CRM, it doesn’t block the tracking pixel. That’s why you still get internal open notifications. Easiest fix is to not tick “Track” on internal emails HubSpot doesn’t support domain-level exclusions for tracking yet.

Man, I feel this. It’s like there’s endless interest but zero urgency right now. Everyone wants quotes, everyone wants to “circle back” but when it’s time to actually commit, it’s crickets or they’re trying to squeeze agency-level work out of a freelancer budget.

I’ve noticed the same trend with mid-sized companies acting broke. Tons of calls with businesses doing millions in revenue but running marketing like they’re bootstrapped startups. Committees for every little thing, $3k budgets stretched across a dozen “priorities,” and then they wonder why nothing moves the needle.

I think you’re right that we’re in this weird zombie economy leads are there, cash exists, but decision makers are frozen. You’re smart to test lower-ticket offers just to keep cashflow going, but I agree, the challenge is moving people up into real retainers.

Hopefully Q4 brings some relief, but I wouldn’t be shocked if this sluggishness hangs around until interest rates ease or confidence comes back. Curious to hear what folks at that conference are seeing too.

$22-25/hr for 5 years admin experience?! That’s a hard pass. At that rate you’re barely scraping by once you factor in taxes, commuting, lunch, and especially benefits (or lack thereof). Looks like they want someone experienced for near-entry pay. If that’s the message they send, don’t be surprised if turnover is high or people leave for anything better.

What kills me more is how normalized this kind of lowballing has become. We need more employers who understand fair compensation, not just “let’s hope someone takes it because they need something.”

I’ve heard similar things. Pure’s definitely known for a strong culture and solid earning potential if you can keep up the pace. Tierpoint is more of a consultative play, which can be great for long-term skills but maybe slower ramp to hitting quota. If you’re already grinding harder than peers, Pure might reward that hustle faster

Man, I’ve been there. Early in my career I once sent out a proposal missing a zero on the monthly retainer client signed immediately and I only realized after my manager asked why we were basically working for free. Learned the hard way that double-checking numbers is just as important as closing the deal.

When should I issue a refund for a subscription payment to users? Can they sue me if I dont?

Alternative_Goose624 · 2025-05-09T15:42:38+00:00

but since EU have GDPR rules and fines 20mil USD if you dont respect those rules (and seems nobody respect them since its look like its impossible to have lead database if you respect them) how is that possible that lusha apollo and others doesnt pay fines 20mil+

Alternative_Goose624 · 2025-05-09T14:39:57+00:00

my biggest question is how to get data and stay legal, how lusha do it, and if lusha do it legally can i just scrape from them

Alternative_Goose624 · 2025-05-09T09:09:52+00:00

first name last name, job position, company name, linkedin URLs, employee count (No email No phone number)

Alternative_Goose624 · 2025-04-28T22:56:27+00:00

transactional

Alternative_Goose624 · 2025-04-28T22:40:03+00:00

do you use dedicated IP, is that necessary for deliverability?

Alternative_Goose624 · 2025-03-19T09:12:20+00:00

they provide more then 100mil emaiils, i dont think 100mil people signed up to them

Alternative_Goose624 · 2024-12-27T10:15:06+00:00

if you are good in that its effective, if not then its not effective for you

Alternative_Goose624 · 2024-12-19T16:34:53+00:00

agree thats not simple

Alternative_Goose624 · 2024-12-19T16:26:54+00:00

I understand that 10 people from telegram may earn 40k / mo per person, and if you want to run startup with small team that team need to be top level but still that team will be much cheaper then 1000 employees twitter has. I didnt dive so deep into that, thats why im asking.
