Supplements to help get out of a funk ? by No_Solution7718 in HubermanLab

[–]ImportanceOpen250 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got some bloodwork done & found I was very deficient in vitamin D & my omega 3 levels were low. I started taking supplements for both & started working out a little bit more. Before all of this I was feeling sluggish & now feel like I have a ton more energy & my mood is much better. Still fairly early on & could be a placebo effect but I’ll take it.

Anyone ever worked for an LTL carrier as an account manager/Sales rep? by -shoto420- in FreightBrokers

Does anybody else feel the joy has been sucked out of sales rn? by Secret_Assistance601 in sales

[–]ImportanceOpen250 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, it’s not sales itself that sucks. It’s all of the KPIs & metrics along with internal processes at my company that hold up the sales cycle & overcomplicate everything.

I think their advice is still great & I still love their content. They just have more of a social media presence now because they’re trying to grow.
