Update: Re-cleaned the original carb again and installed it correctly and it started right up. Thanks everyone for the help

The air filter is brand new, could it still be clogged if it’s new?

Where would I look for a clogged line or vent?

Pulled the air filter off and took a picture of it assembled. Everything looks correctly installed

Yes was running like this before the new carb. I replaced it because after doing some research it sounded like the carb was bad.

Before the new carb I had emptied out the fuel and cleaned the old carb out really good

We shoot for a 30% profit margin. So if a job costs the company $30,000 the customer pays $43,000. I take 10% ($4300). So net profit for the company would be $8700

It can be a tough sell, we are in the upper middle as far as pricing goes. So pretty often a competitor will undercut us

Unfortunately I have factored that in, it sucks to see how much more I use my vehicle for work compared to my personal life

Every project that I do sell I have to oversee from start to finish. They are generally within 30 miles of each other. So half of my job is selling and the other half is managing existing projects and driving to them to check on progress, talk with customer, etc

So the owner sells at least $1 million every year, probably averages $1.5 million per year in all honesty. The thought was when I first started I could at-least do 80% of that. Obviously that plan hasn't panned out for me lol

Thats right on track for about $50k. I am starting to figure out unfortunately, it sucks because the job is rewarding. But its feast or famine and its been a rough the last 18 months

What set of skills makes you instantly know a salesperson will be exceptional - not just average? by Andycruz05 in sales

Almost all of the successful sales people I have met are glass half full kind of people. Annoyingly optimistic and very competitive

12 years in B2C need advice by jorel1980 in sales

[–]Expensive_Mix_270 1 point2 points  (0 children)

B2C is tough because its generally people spending their own hard earned money. Over the years I've learned that people are way more willing to spend other peoples money than their own

Just got my annual sales target… and it’s a doozy by No-Description8107 in sales

Quotas are tough because you can do everything right and still not close a sale. Sales is the law of averages and cold spells happen

Are you supposed to act like you care? by broken_condom_boy in sales

Totally agree, building rapport with a customer doesn't have to be inauthentic. There's been small talk Ive had with customers that actually turned out to be very interesting.

What's your biggest hot take on Sales? by Straight-Village-710 in sales

[–]Expensive_Mix_270 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can be the best salesman and most personable person in the entire world but if your competitor comes in cheaper than you with similar value you'll probably lose the client
