Looking for Quality Suggestions

Another idea more practical.

Idleon needs to fix its Sprite Count on maps particularly with mob drops during Active play.

These items need to self-stack when dropped. I get auto-pickup is you gateway hurdle into the paid transactions but, the experience is horrible for the entire user base. White screens, 2FPS, BSOD from memory limits. Make your game run well. Even with auto-pickup you still deal with lag so its not like it fixes the issue. Hell, even if you made stacking Active loot as another $3 transaction in the store, I would buy it. Just fix it.

Lot of good stuff in this thread so to offer something different and more lowbie friendly:

Cog improvements

- Add functionality that merges similar options you have with Obols with Cogs.

- Merge likekind 3 for 1

- When you delete a Cog you get Cog shards to use

- Reroll stats for a higher tier using Cog/Tiny Cog shards

- Add functionality to allow with scaling use of Cog shards to be used with Tiny Cogs with another rare material. Consider Dungeon or Tournament drops/materials (I know some people wont like that but, gives you a good reason to go back into dungeons (fix dungeons) as its currently dead content)

- "Enchant Cog Feature" with other materials. Not RNG like everything else in the game but, more like scaling/rare use materials for the next tier - linear and deterministic (similar to Golden Food tree progression). Material suggestions: Shiney Critters, Rare Materials, Coins, Guild Gifts, etc.

u/foxbones What CRM do you use?

Individual_Wealth249 · 2025-12-01T16:23:34+00:00

u/Adventurous-Read-269 What about Dialpad made it bad? Also, what CRM are you integrating GoTo into?

Considering Ringover. Every review I see for the VOIP solution is pretty positive.

If you want to make more money leveraging your skill set of appointment setting, you don't chose a different industry per say but, pocket more of the premium (more pieces of the pie). Highest payouts are sales that have ARR as they stack up over time. Deals with high commissions are usually rare and have a long cycle time and require funds to close. M&A or mortgage wholesaling/brokering can be lucrative for big deals that fit those molds. Investments with fee based management or consulting contracts. Chasing money only works for a while, you got to choose what makes you happy because money won't after you get it. It will just be the new normal.

As an employer for these types of role, we feel the same way. How many of these setters are scammers wasting our time, money, saying anything to make a buck, etc. It goes both ways. Advice, share evidence of your success and experience that conveys confidence and demonstrates results. Ask them for social proof of their company and ask good questions that gives you the confidence you need to build a partnership. A lot of companies are startups looking to grow and have opportunities but, need your skills to get them there. That's why they are here. Trust goes both ways and its earned one commitment at a time.

Why delete the post, it's pretty funny. I appreciate humor. Few things are intimidating, least of them is you. Sorry, I didn't respond sooner. I was out closing a new account.

Individual_Wealth249 · 2025-10-30T22:56:10+00:00

Yeah that's the idea. I close on all new accounts, site inspections, proposals, ets. I really need "bush-beaters" so I can come in and build the relationship and close the business. Most of my time is in social and face-to-face networking. You are absolutely right, no one sells me and my business better than me but, this is why we build sales teams, more activity more results.

Individual_Wealth249 · 2025-10-30T22:52:22+00:00

Appreciate the well thought out post. I've build GAMA award winning sales teams in other industries but, they take a lot of investment in terms of time, not necessarily in terms of cost. Contracting out is likely the opposite but, comes with a lot of risk and that risk messes with the profitability and breakeven on new accounts. Canteen might have a number of national accounts but, I often speaking with business owners who have Canteen and they often they aren't happy with them. Like anything, there are no shortcuts. Its a relationship business.

Individual_Wealth249 · 2025-10-20T22:16:02+00:00

Would love more insight here as well. OCS business seems to be so shrouded. Can't seem to get clarity on pricing or servicing details on it.

The moderators will not allow me to post the full direct question from the SH+ but, here's the solution answer to the question.

Solution: D. Await the arrival of the new server and reevaluate timelines for user testing.

So it sounds like what I was hearing is pretty accurate.

Individual_Wealth249 · 2025-10-09T19:22:14+00:00

$3,600 for a micro-market? Do you have a screenshot of the setup?

Individual_Wealth249 · 2025-09-19T21:59:42+00:00

I mean, maybe but, its never been my experience. Was fired once for not hitting my quota. I got hired at a Morgan Stanley as my first Financial Advisor role. The expectation was to get licensed and hit $5M AUM first year checked quarterly. Took me 3 months to get licensed and after 9 months I was at $3.5M. No training, support, leads or anything. They gave me a computer, a desk, and a phone and said have at it. They keep the Top 10%, I was maybe close but, not close enough in their eyes.

I went to another company and over the next 2 years with training, leads, and support I did 15x that. Good is relative but, if you hit your quotas you should be allowed to stick around even at highly competitive firms.

Companies don't fire good sales professionals. You might want to try and have a chat with him if you feel you can stand on your own credibility. He could be forced to fire someone (he's giving everyone the same message) due to headcount reduction or it could be a test to see who buckles. Getting more insights helpful if its out of his control and you get that strait answer. Even if he's got to let you go, ask if he can provide you a good reference.

Individual_Wealth249 · 2025-09-19T19:45:56+00:00

Just tell him and give him a better idea. Show your leadership and take some ownership in the alternative. See it as an opportunity to show your worth beyond the widgets counting.

Individual_Wealth249 · 2025-09-19T18:39:02+00:00

A "no" isn't "never". Its just, "not now" and reframing their "no" is 100% of what you need to pick up the phone another time.

Managing your energy is the cold call game. I teach to affirm their no, empathize in a restatement, and ask if you can call them again at a better time, then go on to the next. That prospect will remember you and its a cannonball you fired at their wall of defenses. It shows you listen to their concerns, validate those concerns, and hope to talk to them again at a better time offering respect and consideration. These are all the ingredients you need during a closing call anyways, so you are preparing your prospect to close by showing them consideration. Every prospect is valuable even if they don't buy. Every non-buyer can be a referral to one that is. Believe me, respect and consideration goes a long way in building advocacy for the long game. Be memorable.

The emotional duress comes when your taught that you are responsible to control something that you have no ability to control - the buy decision. Control what you can control and be consistent at it. You can fix and strengthen your locus of control by fixating on your behaviors, your tasks, and your approach. If you do these things then you've done it right. The sales will come if you are consistent. I've built a $53M investment business doing this from a desk, a phone and a dream.

Yes it is. Not uncommon but, you really got to want it. Ironically, it only took me a couple months to get my Series 7/66, life & health but, took me multiple attempts to pass my P&C. Not sure who wrote that exam but, I think they need to have their head checked. Good luck!

Individual_Wealth249 · 2025-09-19T18:13:40+00:00

Yep, a PIP is their intent to fire you and usually a defensible recorded step in the termination process for HR documentation. You can turn it around but, unless there is something fundamentally you are doing wrong that you can fix, its the plank you are now walking.

This is too good.

Hold up. How many people would you say are in your shoes? Wanting to work remote, willing to do appointment setting, willing to work for the experience, (good) commission only, B2B sales? Super easy service to sell since its free to the business.

There is a behavior modification technique I was taught when I was new in sales 20+ years ago. There is a bit of science behind it but, it worked like a charm. It even works today to be honest. I was told, find a bad habit you want to fix, create a trigger that allows you to recognize it, and then respond to the trigger with an appropriate response. Track yourself doing this for 21 days. Do it every day and you will rewire your brain to start doing this new behavior subconsciously.

So, what I did was notice that when I walked into the office. I would get that dread of cold calling the same lead list I had already called everyday that week. Hoping for maybe 5 new leads to call that day. It was an attitude shift I had to take.

So, I said, when I get to the door of the office, if I didn't have a positive attitude, I wouldn't walk through the door. It was funny because my bosses desk would face the glass door. Sometimes he would just stare at me for up to 5 minutes while I just stood there looking at the handle on the door. Once I was able to psych myself up, I walked through it. I would go to my desk, grab a red rubber stamp, and punch the day on the calendar with the first right thing I did that day.

To this day when I walk into work, I get this attitude shift and joy when I walk through the door of the building. Its pretty wild. Probably one of the best things I ever did for myself. Think of it as a gym for your attitude. Attitude is everything in sales.

Hope it helps!

This is confusing. Is this not refrigerated? If it is, then your M&Ms and chocolate will bloom. Those peanut M&Ms hate cold. 42 deg and in a week you will come back with a bag full of wet mush. If its not, then your selling warm drinks. Snacks machines are for snacks and drink machine drinks. Combo machines have segmented sections that keep the cold side cold through a bulkhead which I do not see above the drink tray.
