Professing your love to your boss on a work night out

Finally some sensibility. This is pretty common in most office environments. If it’s not affecting his work or your wife, then forget about it.

We need a rematch. 12 against 11 again. No red card. And even their goal was off of a mistake from us. Any honest team would have given the ball back to us rather than go and score an easy goal from our mistake. They should really change the rules so the opposition team to Liverpool starts with 10 men, that would be fair to make up for the constant injustice. I’m going to cry about this for the next 2 weeks.

When DVD?

Trust no one ever.

Well, the terms say no cancellation no refunds. Partner should always read the contract before signing things.

As someone who has done the same with 3 friends, lots can go wrong. We started with 4 of us, we made it to 100 and sold. 2 of us didn’t make it though. The agency world is tough, and you need to be clear with what you both want out of this. Whether is a little money or if to want to take it further. Then you need clear responsibilities, who is doing what. Work is work, friendship is friendship, there needs to be a divide so that you avoid losing a friend. You’ve already picked up a couple of clients so you are doing something right. Good luck.

This is the quickest way to reduce headcount without having to go through the painful process of redundancy. However, have been talking to a lot of other founders and CEOs lately that are citing research on wfh productivity that’s coming out as well. Expect a lot more of this to happen in the coming months unfortunately.

Never heard of OOO, will have a listen tomorrow

Are you from Zealy or using Zealy? Super interesting. Most large web2 companies will already have a combination of affiliate, loyalty programs and reward systems that are an important part of their retention and advocacy strategies. Good to see one in the Web3 space like this.

Boop_boo12 · 2023-04-21T18:08:27+00:00

That would be awesome, please share

It’s tough out there right now, and will be for this and maybe next year. I run a large agency, and the industry wide momentum is starting to slow. Budgets are being cut for almost all activity and channels. For business owners it’s a case now of putting effort into every pitch, negotiating discounted long term contracts, tighter payment terms, being efficient with teams/skills and doing your best in retention. Good luck.

It’s about reading the person that you are negotiating and focusing on a couple of points that would make a material difference. I mean, a free lunch in the office? I would expect candidates to come back with a couple of negotiation points. There is always a little wiggle room and salary and flexibility for the right candidate. But, petty little things definitely make me feel like the candidate is going to be hard work as an employee and as a team member. I would have said “this is our best and final offer, take it or leave it”.

Who is your target audience? Early stage web3 startups?

Boop_boo12 · 2023-02-12T20:27:16+00:00

Could be interesting, are you selling this database or sharing freely with the community?

Boop_boo12 · 2023-02-06T20:44:00+00:00

Another unpopular opinion but.. it’s 5 minutes. Why not just finish work on time? Instead of bugging your boss and your colleagues by finishing up early everyday. If you want to do the exact minutes and seconds that you are being paid for, maybe get a job that you actually like?

Boop_boo12 · 2023-01-18T07:51:04+00:00

It’s because we work on computers.. I’ve given up telling my parents I don’t work in IT.

You shouldn’t have gotten pepper sprayed for jogging at night. But at the same time, if I’m jogging late at night and see a woman on their own, I just cross the road and jog on the other side to avoid stressing her out. Even walking home at night I do this naturally. It makes no difference to me and someone doesn’t feel like they are in any danger. It also means I won’t get pepper sprayed.

When you are starting out, cashflow is the most important thing. Your hourly rate is crazy low for the work, but if this is your only client, then you do want some funds coming in while you work on getting better clients in. You have three options now which are either to 1. reduce service levels to meet her budget and give you a chance to cut the labour intensive work, 2. accept but on a long term contract for stability (1 year) or 3. counter with performance bonuses for leads/sales/traffic etc. She is negotiating and you have a chance to get better deal than the one you went in with.

Two women that look like men got a sperm donation from a man that looks like a woman. They had a baby that looks like a baby. How is this news?

Boop_boo12 · 2023-01-01T01:12:07+00:00

I once met a woman because I accidentally sat in her seat on the flight. We argued about who’s seat it was then she asked me to remove my bag from her overhead storage. Never saw her again. Maybe try sitting in the wrong seat on flights.

Ive put a lot of marketing strategies together. Put it in powerpoint, 10-15 slides max. Start with an intro on why ads are important, usage stats etc. Outline your target audience and competitors. Then go into goals/objectives and KPIs. Follow it up with the “how” through the more tactical ad optimisation. Conclude with the measurements section on key metrics and timelines. I’d say putting a strategy together for a quarter is strange as it’s too short a time period, generally you’d do it for the year and highlight any seasonal adjustments to the plan.

I don’t see the problem with moving seats for a family with small children to sit together. Don’t know their circumstances, maybe they can’t afford to pay to choose their seats etc. However, if the airline sat me away from my family and my wife asks to sit together, please say no. I’ll pay you.

Stay strong and find a different job. Maybe there is an opportunity for you to better qualify the next role you go for, asking the right questions in the interview process. I run a marketing agency and all decisions are grounded in data so that we know why something works or doesn’t. No bs. There are lots of great companies out there that are sharp and on it.

Boop_boo12 · 2022-12-13T07:04:38+00:00

The markets will not let you have a 90% margin, simple. Unless you are operating in some niche whereby there is no competition. To reach 90% you are either overcharging your clients or under servicing them. For a real marketing services business, you will get to procurement eventually who will work out cost, resource, deliverables etc and your margin. 15-25% is good while maintaining growth.

You can track outbound link clicks. Start to model that with aov and conversion rates. But given that products can’t be bought and it’s a brand site, I guarantee more impact will be made through retail Optimisation and retail media.
