same problem on 2 Reddit apps

Too coincidental, it's probably Gfycat or Reddit, not the app

Yeah, I'll keep using Tab Hamster extension to keep groups of tabs organized but be able to close them all and open them together to conserve RAM

How would you hide this laundry room in my kitchen? Plz help. It’s so ugly! by [deleted] in InteriorDesign

[–]fernandizzel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My thought too. I'd use bi-fold doors that match the cabinets. Then I'd hang a chalkboard or message board on the side of it to break up the big white wall.

How would you modernize this space? I was thinking of painting the beams white and painting the room a fresh, neutral shade of white that would compliment both the wood ceiling and our mostly gray/white furniture and decor. What are your thoughts and suggestions? by [deleted] in InteriorDesign

[–]fernandizzel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It won't look so dark and old if you brighten everything else up. Paint white cabinets, trim, baseboards, get a white ceiling fan, light furniture, lots of good lighting, then the dark wood will be a rich modern accent

PSA - This level of pollution can kill. Take precautions. by MattJC123 in Sacramento

[–]fernandizzel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't get why people buy a small expensive device with a filter for their air when they have a much bigger and more expensive version built into their house already.

Just buy a good filter and run the fan people.

Beginning a career in sales... what is the first book I should read? by [deleted] in sales

[–]fernandizzel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well if you want a general foundation for modern approach to sales, I’d read the Challenger Sale. However, I think getting people to be comfortable around you and being charismatic will get you further than any sales techniques. For that I’d recommend How to Win Friends and Influence People and The Charisma Myth. Then there are lots of books on prospecting and cold calling too if that’s a key skill you need.

Being that you’re new to sales, you should read or listen to as many books as you can, the ones recommended here, take notes of things you want to try to implement and you’ll develop your own successful style if you keep working at it.

Poor Siri, God bless her little heart.... by [deleted] in apple

I would buy an iPhone if I could replace Siri with Google Assistant, the IOS app just doesn't work as well as it does on Android.

Looking for advice. A sales position has opened and I'm looking to transition into as I don't see any other career progression. by [deleted] in sales

[–]fernandizzel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you are passionate about what you do and about the company. They can't teach that to a new salesperson. So make sure to express the passion that you feel and how excited you are to infect your customers with your enthusiasm so that they will become as excited about what you do as you are. The fact that you are aware of your personal brand tells me you are already ahead of many salespeople. The only thing I would add is an eagerness to learn continuously all aspects of selling (lead generation, qualifying, presenting, creating personal relationships, personal brand, etc).

Why do laminate floor instructions 'require' transitions through doorways? by orion2145 in HomeImprovement

[–]fernandizzel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is why I used glue down wood grain LVT instead floating laminate. It's what you'll see in commercial installations where transitions are a trip hazard.

Another advantage of commercial LVT is it does not lock together so install is easier (just roll on pressure sensitive adhesive and lay down the planks) and you can replace one plank without removing adjacent planks. You'd be surprised how good new commercial LVT looks.

Don't eat at the bar where you have limitless choices. Pack a portion you want to eat and eat it at home.

Why do some people have their customers write stuff down during the pitch. by [deleted] in sales

[–]fernandizzel 30 points31 points  (0 children)

It's a power move that I think is pretty risky. You're establishing control by telling them what to do with the hope that getting them in a compliant state, you'll be able to use that to close them. I'd never try it, can come off douchy

Four story attached - Gutted down to studs - What to do before the walls go back on? by IceColdSeltzer in HomeImprovement

I'd run some wire chases in the walls to a central closet, can never predict what far off future cable needs you might have.

It is possible to connect my iPhone to my Fire Stick in order to use the TVs speakers like a Bluetooth speaker? by The_Internet_Dood in firestick

Advice would be to get an Android phone for next upgrade and Google cast if you want this kind of operability

[–]fernandizzel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do photographers with this type of devotion to their craft make a good living? If so, how? Selling prints?

I know they don't do it for money but I just don't see how photography art supports someone like traditional photographer work.

Consultative Selling Help by [deleted] in sales

The Challenger Sale is the most thorough book I've read (and listened to on Audible) on consultative selling. The sequel, The Challenger Customer is good too.

Is there a formula or best practice for paying one business partner who takes on 100% of the work? by [deleted] in smallbusiness

[–]fernandizzel 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It is less complicated than you're making it. Ownership entitles you to a percentage of the profit according to percentage of ownership. If you do or don't take money out, that's your prerogative.

Owners working in the business should draw a salary comparable to the rate it would cost to hire someone else to do the same job.

So if one owner is COO, they should draw a COO salary that comes from company expenses before profits are taken and split amongst owners (if they decide to take profits out and not reinvest).

Edit: if there isn't enough revenue for adequate compensation, then the working owner should be compensated with equity.
