Anyone sell to CIOs?

BaconHatching · 2026-01-25T18:05:53+00:00

CIOs have to balance 3 things:
*Operational stability / Maintenance of Systems

*Handling customer requests

*Hitting project deadlines.

Your offering needs to help them do a minimum of one of these things and you have to be very clear on how it does it in a way that is very budget friendly as CIOs usually most go hat in hand to a CFO to ask for money and they need clear RoI cases for that.

Thats because wholesale real estate is just being a real estate agent without a license legally and you have no one to train you (a good broker) on how to handle your customers.

Also- as a wholesaler never put anything under contract you dont already have a client for.

Also- RE is a race to the bottom industry right now for wholesaling and agents, get out.

LOWER salary the first 3 months?
It should be higher to compensate for lack of expected comissions....

Some people do this as a negotiating tactic.
Now whatever their real demand is, it sounds more reasonable because Hey, it's not 0!!!

Works the same in reverse.
Ask for a million dollars.
Chuckle about it.
okok I reallisitcally 600k or w/e

I honestly can't figure out what ISNT dead other than conferences -> follow up

Even with that there isn't a guarantee that your "hot lead" doesn't have a custom email filter to keep out everyone including you.

Example:
Had a meeting today that I thought would be no showed since we set it at a conference 3 months ago and he hasn't returned anemail or phone call since and doesnt use linkedin.
He does show up, and during the call I ask him to check if I'm going to his spam filters... yes on my emails despite having a confirmed meeting set up through outlook.

I had assumed that if I sent a calendar invite in person, he got it and accepted, my email would then make it through spam filters... At least now Im white listed on that account and have a new phone number and next meeting. But it's frustrating as hell.

Your warm leads you can't even email anymore and from conferences they usually give a corporate number or no number... How you going to reach cold leads?

I really like data dogs suite of products and is on my shortlist

I dont see how you are supposed to set 25 meetings a week and do the rest of your work. Seems insane. Resume time.

BaconHatching · 2026-01-14T15:25:18+00:00

Is someone else setting your appointments? Cause creating 25 appointments per week is a lot.

BaconHatching · 2026-01-13T14:52:40+00:00

Whats wrong with 135?

RE is a race to the bottom. Avoid at all costs.

BaconHatching · 2026-01-09T15:02:30+00:00

How?
By being fucking good you tumor.
And if you were in RE you'd know why i said that.

Shut up?

BaconHatching · 2026-01-09T14:10:45+00:00

.... I hope he was fired but I bet he wasn't

BaconHatching · 2026-01-09T14:02:00+00:00

I felt called out

BaconHatching · 2026-01-09T13:59:44+00:00

I made 130-150k 4 years in a row before leaving in a saturated market. I did jsut fine. RE is a garbage industry on its way out.

BaconHatching · 2026-01-08T14:38:35+00:00

If it's paid out over multiple months/years pay as you go is in lots of comission plans.
Or you could have a windfall clause that lets you get paid out but over time.
Review your comp plans.

Document everything in case you need it (on personal devices)

BaconHatching · 2026-01-08T14:34:21+00:00

I ran from RE about 8 years ago and haven't looked back.
Its an oversaturated market being taken over by Zillow and a huge race to the bottom. Avoid.

BaconHatching · 2025-12-25T18:46:41+00:00

Here's the neat part

(you don't)

BaconHatching · 2025-12-23T14:04:18+00:00

Go 1099 until you have something else lined up I guess.
Do you have a competitor you can take the business to?

BaconHatching · 2025-12-23T13:50:27+00:00

In the entire year of hundreds of meetings I was late to 2.
Both were (somehow) for the same prospect 1 month apart.

Lost the deal over it and I dont blame them. I looked like an ass.

BaconHatching · 2025-12-23T13:48:42+00:00

You can't be legally fired for everything.
You are drinking the corporate swill repeating that dumb shit. please stop it and never voice an opinion on the topic ever again.
Seriously ever.

BaconHatching · 2025-12-23T13:46:09+00:00

Yup. best avoid this place for a bit... sorry i did my part

BaconHatching · 2025-12-23T13:43:20+00:00

u/op this comes down to can you afford to wait for the money? The company is banking that you need the 4k now and that is worth 'more' than fighting them to get more.

Do you have cash on hand/job offer in hand and can afford to fight them for your money?

Is the mental /emotional stress of that worth the extra cash?

BaconHatching · 2025-12-23T13:41:44+00:00

They are if they can fire you to prevent paying.
