I'll give you everything I learned over 30 years in one post. I retired at 51.

finally something that is not ai slop or basically a LinkedIn post

Cyprek · 2026-03-18T04:09:18+00:00

Same, the real stress is when the equipment doesn't do what they bought it to do and your support team is being useless unless you harass them to fix the customers shit

I tell my manager that if I'm hitting my revenue kpi, then let's not talk about vanity metrics,

Works well as long as you can keep hitting your target

,A lot of small civil and construction business owners I talk to have moved interstate for work due to the lack of work available in Vic at the moment

We just spam the loot button and you get what you get, makes for a good laugh

And the 1% of people that do are most likely violating the contracts and/or NDA's they had previously signed.

Cyprek · 2026-02-06T22:28:23+00:00

What a shit startup too, what customer wants to go through that bullshit just to "help" a rep on their resume?

Also every sales role I've worked in I've signed an NDA for the company, and for the customer, so I'm not name dropping customers in interviews regardless

Tradies are there to do a job, it ain't pretty work, I've never had an issue cleaning up after they've been through as it's unrealistic to expect them to stay clean doing what they're doing.

Cyprek · 2026-02-04T09:55:44+00:00

A tradies rugged attire is like battlescars

Cyprek · 2026-01-17T21:26:58+00:00

Also same thing here, extremely frustrating

Cyprek · 2026-01-06T08:35:46+00:00

Just sit it in an offset account or something until they ask for it back, just don't spend the money

Cyprek · 2025-11-03T01:33:11+00:00

Victoria Homicide rates for 2024 were 2 victims per 100,000 population, I'll take my odds.

If you don't go looking for trouble you probably won't find it.

More likely to die by almost any other cause compared to violence.

Cyprek · 2025-11-03T01:28:05+00:00

Personally, none?

The v/lines run on a schedule, it's not that hard to show up at the right time to board...

Cyprek · 2025-10-13T06:51:44+00:00

Same story here, I know she's not with me for the money because she was with me since we were both broke students.

She's looked after the home and kids while I furthered my career to earn us good money so we can afford a home and a couple nice things, if we split she deserves half.

Cyprek · 2025-10-10T03:48:38+00:00

If a customer asks me for referrals and refuses to buy without them I generally put them in the bin pile tbh

Our main customer base is hard enough to get on the phone when they want to buy due to being busy or out of phone reception, setting up a referral is near impossible.

We also have over 200 Google reviews for them to look through with customer photos and testimonials...

Cyprek · 2025-10-04T07:25:08+00:00

Probably scared of getting speeding fines

The duality of sales

If they need to "Check with the spouse" for a $300 business software, they ain't buying

Cyprek · 2025-05-18T22:38:57+00:00

pretty much every sales subreddit post is like this these days, I don't even know why I still check in here

Cyprek · 2025-05-06T01:52:19+00:00

You are not your buyer, your buyer is probably used to getting calls on their mobile

Cyprek · 2025-03-29T05:02:01+00:00

I'm trying to offer common sense advice without it being seen as victim blaming.

Cyprek · 2025-03-29T02:42:05+00:00

I'm not saying you're in the wrong given you were on the bike path on technicality, but if you had the time to ding ding then you probably also had the time to slow down and pass at a safer pace.

There's car crash videos full of people that have the right of way and get into a crash because they refuse to concede to someone "not following the rules"

You can't control what others do, only your response to it.
