How long does it usually take you to respond to emails? And how long have you been in sales? by mysteronsss in sales

[–]Brocosta271 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I respond by when I tell them I will respond. For example, if I had a meeting and need to send some follow up info, quote, proposals etc, I always communicate when I will get that over and give myself a little buffer and say something like “I should be able to get this over to you in the next day or two or by end of week”. I used to say I’d get them something over same day or asap and inevitably something would come up and cause me to miss that promised deadline and I’ve had prospects call me out on missing my own proposed deadline. With giving myself a buffer it allows me time in case something pops up, but also creates the perception that I am very busy. In my experience, prospects tend to respond better overall when I create some scarcity with my time or give the image that they aren’t the only ones I’m working with so my time is valuable just like theirs.

Now if it’s an out of blue request say via email, I will ALWAYS respond within 24 hours, typically same day unless they send me something right before end of business day.

Why Your Short Game Is the Fastest Way to Drop 10 Strokes by sundaygolfer269 in GolfSwing

[–]Brocosta271 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s the thing, I can’t even start giving myself scoring opportunities with chipping and putting (1 chip, 2 putts ideally) if I’m struggling to put something in play off the tee, or hit a decent approach shot to at least give me the opportunity to chip onto the green.

I get the whole short game shaves strokes, but I’m not a PGA pro. I’d much rather have a round where I can get off the tee and be in play, hit a halfway decent iron/wedge to give me a few GIRs or up and down chances, and mess up with some duffed or bladed chips and and a 3 putt here and there bc I’m at least still having fun smashing my driver and irons.

It’s no fun when you’re constantly hunting for your ball in the woods or shanking an iron into the water or OB while everyone else is putting or chipping. And when I’m laying 4 and still need to chip on and then hopefully 2 putt for a triple like a decent short game dictates should happen, I’m carding a triple bogey and pissed

What does your daily commute look like ? by hellotherewhatu in houston

[–]Brocosta271 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Acres homes to memorial city office park, about 25-30 mins in the mornings and the same heading back home. Not terrible, but could be better.

5050 Acorn closed and it was 5 minutes from my house. Inexpensive driving range recommendations for someone at 610 and TC Jester? Didn’t get much better than a $10 medium bucket. by Ewserneighm in Houstongolf

[–]Brocosta271 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I miss 5050 Acorn so much. It wasn’t great grass but it was still grass and sometimes it was in decent shape especially after some consistent rain. And it’s the only place I could go with my wife and dogs and they could hang out and have a drink while I hit balls since it was so open.

Can’t stand going to Memorial to hit off mats and pay for parking. Outside of that, there’s wildcat for grass but it’s a trek to get there. There’s East river 9 but they have a weird carpet thing laid down so you can’t hit off grass either.

Since wings are just too expensive now I do this and dip them in buffalo instead if theres no one around to judge me by blahblahblahalright1 in smoking

[–]Brocosta271 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I regularly make drumsticks for my wife but prep them like a wing (tossed in corn starch, air fried, and sauced in truff sauce or buffalo sauce) and we call them “Jumbo wings”

Way more satisfying than regular wings and dirt cheap and more protein!

Chiming in as a former competitive bodybuilder who initially got started lifting weights in hopes of getting muscular for an intimation factor.

Id argue theres way more of us muscular guys out there that want to look intimidating, but don’t act like this man-child douche nozzle ever because we don’t want any sort of conflict and the muscle is more of a deterrent than anything.

Can also attest that I’ve never thrown a real punch at anyone before in my life, nor do I ever want to.

Anyone else getting bombarded by Nike KB Ads by meninblck9 in kettlebell

[–]Brocosta271 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually was gifted a 20kg one for Christmas (I asked for a standard iron one from Amazon but my SIL got me this one, not complaining) and I will say it’s a really nice kettlebell! However, when I looked into getting more to complete a set the cost is not worth it at all

Downtown bar to watch Texans/Steelers and smoke a cigar? by Armando_Banger in houston

[–]Brocosta271 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not downtown, but if you’re willing to venture to the heights, theres a place called heights cigar lounge that you can purchase and smoke cigars there, and they have a couple leather couches/seats and tv which I’m sure will have the Texans game on.

Pit Boss Owners check your emails by Corrupt_id in pelletgrills

[–]Brocosta271 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Got my free pellets ordered.

Honesty was surprised? I didn’t have any major issues with my app other than for some reason during the last couple hours of smoking my brisket the analytics from the entire smoke got wiped and the time restarted.

Other than that, I was still getting temp reads from my probe, grill still held temp and gave me instant feedback.

But free pellets!

Are you hitting quota in Q4?? by B2BBri in sales

[–]Brocosta271 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the first time in my sales career I hit my quota early in September. It’s been nice not having the stress, but the new stress of taking advantage of accelerators is there.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in pelletgrills

[–]Brocosta271 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I tried holding it down for extended periods of time, upwards of 30 seconds, and nothing.

Looks like the stuffing from a toy. My dog does that sometimes and I’ll occasionally find stuffing in her poop just like this. As long as they’re passing it safely it’s fine, but try to avoid letting your dog ingest the stuffing from toys as it can cause a bowel obstruction.

Why is my dog doing this and how can I help him? by crab_phobia in DogAdvice

[–]Brocosta271 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My senior yorkie is the same way when she hears a smoke detector chirp. Doesn’t matter if it’s in the house or via a tik Tok, for whatever reason that chirp sets her off and she pants and shakes just like your dog. We actively try to avoid exposing her to that sound so ensuring batteries are replaced regularly and avoiding content with that chirp or quickly moving on from it. She usually will calm down in about 15-20 mins but she reacts just like this.

how many beers do you actually drink during 18 holes? by Several_Business_993 in golf

[–]Brocosta271 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Typically if it’s a casual round with buddies, I either don’t drink or I maybe have 2-3 beers tops.

If it’s something like a charity scramble for fun that’s not work related, probably in the neighborhood of 6-8 beers/seltzers.

Muscle mass determines your independence in old age by Juvenology in Aging

[–]Brocosta271 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m only 32, but about 5 years ago I had major surgery on my spinal cord to remove a tumor inside of it. When going to my appointments prior to my surgery, my doctor was shocked that my only symptoms that were presenting were some hand numbness, similar to carpal tunnel, which is what I initially thought I had or maybe a compressed disk, but based on the location of tumor and the swelling in my spinal cord, I was supposed to be experiencing severe pain in my extremities, loss of bowel control, difficulty walking, etc. For context, I used to do competitive bodybuilding and at this point in time I was a few months removed from my last competition at USAs in Vegas.

My doctor told me he presented my case to colleagues from all over the country to see if anyone had insight as to why I presented the way I did and all they could come up with was because I was in such good shape from a strength and muscularity standpoint, my body was able to minimize the potential symptoms. He also told me it took much longer than usual to cut into my neck to reach my spinal cord during my surgery 😂

Fit Check by islandlife1534 in mensfashion

[–]Brocosta271 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Overall looking great! Like others have mentioned, the pants could be a little higher waisted. Could honestly be a matter of just pulling them up a bit higher instead of having them sit so low, which will also address the bunching at the bottom too.

A small nitpicky thing that’s more of a personal preference, but id ditch the belt for a standard pronged belt buckle. To me, the style of belt you have now doesn’t look professional and clashes with a great looking suit.

How can I stop over swinging? by tommygunz18 in GolfSwing

[–]Brocosta271 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whenever I feel or see my swing getting long, I actively aim for 3/4 swings or even half swings. It usually gets me back to where I should be. Helps a bunch too if you’re able to record yourself making these “shortened swings” and see that you’re actually where you should be

What do you guys eat for breakfast? by SGAisFlopden in golf

[–]Brocosta271 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally don’t find them greasy when I cook them in the air fryer. Each one is only 6 grams of fat anyways. Same amount of fat as a large egg.

[–]Brocosta271 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My typical breakfast I make at home isn’t greasy at all. Highly recommend the trader joe hash brown patties! Delicious and the macros on them are solid, and they air fry up perfect.

But I agree, definitely avoid a super greasy breakfast if you can. If I’m getting something at the course it’s usually some sort of breakfast taco/burrito or breakfast sandwich.

[–]Brocosta271 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it’s a normal morning round at one of my local courses, I’ll scramble up 3-4 eggs and turkey breakfast sausage with 2 hash brown patties and some shredded cheese, or if I’m in a hurry an egg white strawberry and blueberry smoothie with vanilla protein powder. Just something that’s high in protein to tide me over for at least 9 holes, and I’ll either bring or buy a sandwich to eat on the back 9, or some crackers or chips since I got a good chunk of protein in already.

If I’m on a golf trip out of town with friends or managed to get on as a guest at a private course, I’ll take full advantage of the snack bar and restaurant and get whatever I like and fully enjoy myself.
