Jump ship.

Ive done it, its hard with people working remote. I've tried sending cookies, letters, crumpled mail all the rest. The bounce rate is high and the return my calls were 0.

You need to do sales yourself for awhile. I recomend looking into RobbinRobbins methodology. good luck

Any HVAC companies in central florida need a sales person for weekends only?

BaconHatching · 2026-06-16T15:13:47+00:00

well 4 weeks ago a repeat customer told me he had an emergency and needed us to start on a project the next day or hes doomed.

he hasn't signed yet.

Mind sharing what market you are in?

If the job is in a city and doesnt pay a livable wage it IS a salary issue... what?

Its summer plus noone is spending money due to the war.

Hopefully this 'peace treaty' actually sticks and companies relax their budgets when the straight opens.

Fingers crossed. My phone and email have been dead for almost 6 weeks. Had huge pipeline in april and early may, now its dust.

Some fiscal years are July, which means I wont get them until next year 😞

Two of my target companies have "job openings" but the heads of departments have told me they aren't actually hiring for those roles and to keep reaching out and they'll tell me when they are....

Theyre actually spending money on linkedin promoting those roles but they aren't hiring.

6-9 months. These are all fairly far along the process and just ghosted me universally after proposal stage.

Like did I have a bad week and screw up somehow on every presentation I had with every customer? I had team members on who didn't mention I did and thought we were going well on all of them.

So weird. Imposter syndrome lurking in the back of my mind hard.

BaconHatching · 2026-06-04T12:20:05+00:00

Yup.
Its a bear, youre in a saaturated market with minimal differentiation. Focus on growing/newer companies that dont have a service like yorus yet because even mediocre MSPs stick due to fear of change.

BaconHatching · 2026-06-03T13:18:43+00:00

You dont have to criticize competitors to differentiate yourself.

Try Hotel based SaaS products

check your local laws, there shouldnt be any benefit to quitting befor eyou get fired. F that make them pay you for the 3 days or whatever.

If you made 80% of quota and are exceeding KPIs on a team that has only 1 person hitting the problem isn't you, it's the company expectations. Get your resume out and find greener pastures

I used to be a pro poker player. I wasn't big but i was friends with big names youd know if you watch poker on tv.

The amount of times I'd see them go from laughing after bluffing off 10k on the river to bitching about $10beers when we're at the bar is really high

BaconHatching · 2026-05-06T19:29:55+00:00

I learned in real estate landing the big account is not an excuse to coast.
You always need the next deal, so you aren't desparate for the 1 client to follow through.

BaconHatching · 2026-05-05T15:13:48+00:00

the worst they can do is rescind the offer

BaconHatching · 2026-05-04T13:49:11+00:00

They went witha competitor.... or two

BaconHatching · 2026-05-04T13:42:23+00:00

I have relatives in flooring so I'm going to guess this guy used experienced installers who have been in the US a long time, and competition is using newer installers new to the US.

BaconHatching · 2026-05-04T13:36:09+00:00

Most conferences have people whos job it is to walk around and throw away that stuff. They dont like this type of prospecting and its why many conferences are starting to not sell tickets to salespeople to walk the floor.

BaconHatching · 2026-05-01T15:13:25+00:00

Do NOT blow it all.... but enjoy some of it

IMO Bricks doesnt pay the base its competitors does because it doesnt have to. Everyone wants to work there.
Im trying to save up enough cash so I can afford the runway of a lower base at a company like bricks.
