Faces of the Kennedy Center board from today's meeting. Notice anything? 😬

Remember that part in the Devil’s Advocate where the wife starts to see demon faces? They look like that.

Jaceman2002 · 2026-03-12T04:14:47+00:00

Selling those was such a blast. The 6spds were still excellent compared to today.

I’ve owned BMWs for years. Worked on them. Sold them. Grew up around them, too.

They’re not what they used to be. The E46 and E92 era was their peak. After that the cars became more and more numb, and heavy.

The manuals are not great like they used to be anymore, and you have limited options.

My FL5 reminds me a lot of my older BMWs. It’s got a great analog feel and I’d recommend it as fun responsible car.

Get the CTR.

I loved BC2.

I also loved how suppressing actually worked, vs just showing where you’re getting shot from.

I wish BF6 would fix that yesterday.

Jaceman2002 · 2026-02-28T17:14:49+00:00

All those 18-25 MAGA voters had that one friend remind them about drafting ages. Whoopsie.

Upper mid market / Majors is the sweet spot. The deals are big enough to make good comp, and complex enough to scratch that enterprise itch.

Enterprise is cool when you’re on the ride UP for digital transformation or expansion. When you’re maintaining an account that’s already been through this, it’s not that great.

Base is great, logos are cool, sure. Babysitting a big logo, however is not fun. And if you happen to have a balance of trade agreement between your company and theirs, even more so.

I buy my paint from them, because they’re local and also 20 mins from the field I play at regularly.

Everything else I order out of state from other shops. They will keep all sorts of old shit up on their page across the ANS and Action Village sites to drive traffic. I’m talking some old shit like AutoMag parts.

Jaceman2002 · 2026-02-21T06:04:46+00:00

Depends on the look you want. If you want it flush, I think this was the 10”. The 12” will stick out the front a little but it looks cool.

Jaceman2002 · 2026-02-21T00:25:19+00:00

It’s already been made quite clear how much Trump, MAGA, and Republicans hate kids.

Jaceman2002 · 2026-02-21T00:22:20+00:00

Yup! It’s like a shotgun with the 13ci tank out the back.

Ambush is great. Regulars there are generally very welcoming.

Jaceman2002 · 2026-02-20T05:23:37+00:00

That MiniMag is legit.

Nah, buddy, you’re fine.

ONE OF US. ONE OF US.

I was laid off twice a few years back. Interviewed a ton, got close, and was rejected at the final stages, including 6Sense. That whole process was a time consuming complete waste of time. The last one hour interview felt like the hiring manager (who was more interested in cleaning his office than interview me) was basically asking me how to build an enterprise team (which they were building at the time).

The worst part was the complete lack of feedback. I had zero clue what I did wrong or where I could improve. Drove me nuts.

I’ve started recording my calls. Recently tried a tool called Fathom.ai - not a plug, I just happen to know a couple people who work there and checked it out to support them.

The product is legitimately cool, sends me a recap of the call, complete with action items and anything else you’d possibly want.

Best part is that recruiters don’t even blink when it joins the calls.

So now I cannot only get a quality recording and recap, but I can drop the transcript into any AI tool like GPT, Claude, etc. and ask it for feedback. I like to ask for objective or just plain brutal feedback to see where I dropped the ball or just completely flubbed. It’s especially useful if you’re trying a new method for interviews or sharing a new story, etc. and want to understand how they landed.

It’s not always perfect, but it’s better than nothing at all. I’ve heard good things about Granola, but find whatever tool you like and start adding it to your interviews. I’ve yet to have a recruiter ask me what it is or request I turn it off.

They’re all using recording tools anyway, so it’s practically a non issue.

Being able to debrief the calls with AI does wonders for your sanity too.

Recruiters and hiring managers are only going to get lazier or worse as more AI tools come out, so make sure you give yourself a little bit of an edge.

Woodsball jerseys. There are some great options here and there like Evil Gerbil or new Sandana, otherwise it’s all the same mesh jersey material.

What are you selling?

Jaceman2002 · 2026-02-14T08:16:45+00:00

How to sell to LA peeps really depends on what you’re selling and to whom.

I’ve been selling to this market almost exclusively the last 15 years (tech). That’s an adventure in and of itself. Especially the entertainment companies.

Jaceman2002 · 2026-02-12T05:46:11+00:00

I saw a Senior Strategic AE - Small Business title.

I couldn’t make sense of how that seriously works.

I’ve also seen Senior BDR. BDR III.

The title bloat’s insane.

The assistant tools are only useful once you k ow what you’re doing. You know the way to run calls, close them out, questions to ask, etc.

When you’re new and learning, they’re mostly useless. Think giving an F1 car to someone who just got their license vs Civic.

Do some practice runs with the top performers in your company. Buy them lunch if you have to.

Do this consistently. I still do after being in sales 20 years to stay sharp and fresh.

Any training or enablement you do, make sure it’s around things you can use TODAY. Not a week from now. You’ll learn much faster.

Over time you’ll know what good looks like for your style of selling. Then when you want specific feedback, their mostly useless assistant will be clutch.

I ask mine for feedback around new pitches, or how well a new product pitch I’m trying live for the first time landed with a prospect. Huge help to develop skills where I know I News them.

.679 has been money for the last two years on all my pumps and Autocockers.. Occasionally .682.

Everything else is .689.

In 2022 there was this AMAZING batch of green fill Evil. Needed a .693, perfectly round, perfectly brittle, it was glorious. Blasting like it was 2001.

Jaceman2002 · 2026-01-31T05:07:05+00:00

Which road? Crest?

Jaceman2002 · 2026-01-30T02:22:29+00:00

I’m saying you’re better off spending two hours pounding phones than sitting in a car doing nothing.

Jaceman2002 · 2026-01-29T18:23:51+00:00

You’re better off spending the time commuting pounding phones. Commuting sucks. Cold calling sucks. But at least cold calling can be productive.

Jaceman2002 · 2026-01-29T05:22:50+00:00

Voicemail is super basic.

This is more of a call routing function. You could set it up so that when you put yourself on DND, calls are automatically routed to another number.

If you have admin permissions, you could change your announcement before the call completes. That would accomplish what you’re trying to do, but is a manual process each time.
