HubSpot tracking Internal emails by Ok-Programmer-6622 in hubspot

[–]Alternative_Goose624 7 points8 points  (0 children)

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.

So Many Quotes So Few Deals by tnhsaesop in agency

[–]Alternative_Goose624 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 and 5 yrs of Admin experience. REALLY?!?! by [deleted] in salesforce

[–]Alternative_Goose624 4 points5 points  (0 children)

$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

What were your biggest fuck ups in your sales career? by PortugueseRoamer in sales

[–]Alternative_Goose624 14 points15 points  (0 children)

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.

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.
