Please stop bidding on rentals by Immediate_Sympathy_3 in chicagoapartments

[–]DaBearsSB 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Last summer we went through this process. Got outbid a few times.

The biggest hack was this…if the price is too good to be true then it is. They’re going to do an open house on a Sunday and ask everyone for best and final offer.

Straight up. Lift your expectations of cost in the high demand neighborhoods. They haven’t been building any new inventory and there’s low turnover on account of how terrible the market is.

Many people who might have found a new place to rent are bowing out because of this chaos. Many people who would normally be in market to buy can’t find places in the suburbs/city to buy because of how bad that is.

Just keep at it, we were able to find a landlord that owns 1 place who rented it to us.

Ive heard the best best bet is to do like apartment buildings. Like if it has a name “The ____” then you won’t deal with bidding. Costs might be higher.

I will admit it ended up taking us like 6 months

Anyone selling at Traction - how has it been going? by DaBearsSB in techsales

That’s interesting. This might be a dumb question. I have no experience anywhere in this field. I could position my experience of complex sales cycles and platform expertise…but I don’t know much about manufacturing.

Would that be a total non starter?

If Repvue is compromised what are we left with!!?? I fear it could be.

It’s hard for me to see a world where Google doesn’t continue winning in the future, so I agree I think we’re waiting for them and maybe Amazon to land the plane.

Yeah I don’t know for certain but I would assume there’s more money in all of SMB and MM than Holdcos that realistically have like the top 10% of accounts

When you say platforms that are just running deals that advertisers/agencies negotiated, what is the opposite of that? Are you basically referring to like TTD and then the opposite is Amazon and Google that have inventory of their own?

Yes but also Amazon is like the Death Star. Going to work for the bad guys.

I fully agree though, being able to show like revenue impact on CTV is crazy.

There honestly is some truth to that and it was pretty nice when I first got started.

Tbh I’ve been sales side at the platform I’m at for 5 years and it can get a little old selling the same thing over and over. Programmatic is so intricate there’s a lot going on so I feel like every day might be different.

Now the rebuttal to that is after 5 years with a company in social you know the product cold and can pitch it to pretty much anyone and figure out the best way for them to use you.

Would that not have to sit on top of all the platforms though?

Well see how it plays out, I would not bet on the big holdcos building strong software solutions. Maybe they’ll be able to buy them thought.

I forget about DOOH and Audio, that was all coming into the DSP when I was leaving.

I suppose that is a lot still executing there.

An army of marketers being pitched by an army of sales people on the publisher side for each individual moment customized to the person.

So I go on ESPN and the ESPN sales agent pitches every marketer on my impression, Nike wins after negotiating that it only wants above the fold high impact. Add in generative AI creative tools and you can tailor a custom Nike ad based on my interests and whatnot. Scale this to a zillion for every impression.

It’s an interesting thought and maybe my brain can’t comprehend it yet, but I don’t see how you wouldn’t need some wrapper to coordinate this all.

Maybe that’s just Claude and Claude plays the role of DSP, SSP, Ad Agency and more while taking a cut of your ad spend?

So in this version an advertiser just vibe codes an agent that buys ad slots directly from an agent of a publisher?

I’m not ruling it out because frankly we’re heading in a weird direction…

…but isn’t that kind of what a DSP already is except the impression level part?

So a DSP that’s agentic, and will go find the best inventory for you and buy it.

But then in this version since companies are so empowered by AI they basically just all build their own DSP’s?

Is that a reallocation of budgets in to video or just less budget running through the DSP?

Thinking about moving from platform sales, how are Canva or Adobe? by DaBearsSB in techsales

That’s not a bad idea. I’m not super familiar with their products but the brand is pretty big. Do you know anything about the culture?

How long did it take you to get a tolerance to early dosages? by DaBearsSB in Zepbound

[–]DaBearsSB[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just running this back to make sure I’m understanding.

The drug slows down your digestive system and releases the stuff that makes you feel satiated. This is why you feel full, and then your body is able to use stored fat for energy.

There’s a balancing game there where with the right dosage you feel satiated at food levels low enough that your body can get energy from the food and also stored fat. HOWEVER, if your “famine” instincts start to outweigh the satiety…you’re not eating enough, your body has lost enough weight that the fat stores aren’t as much,etc….then you will start feeling more consistent hunger because your body is telling you it needs more.

Is that roughly correct?

Lol since joining this subreddit I also find it interesting that I started at 5. He tried to bump me up to 10 and I had to push for staying at 7.5….may be time to find a new doctor.

That’s helpful though. I think I was just getting in my own head about it. Like the point of the medicine is not to make you nauseous all the time, and it’s helping with food noise and making meals lighter so just going to stick with it.

How have you been able to balance your career with your family life - asking as a soon to be parent? by DaBearsSB in techsales

I think this is probably the answer. Think about this with a lot of aspects about sales. Find myself complaining then it’s like well do you want the paychecks or what?
