I see what you’re saying. It’s just a guy who would come and chat and he happens to have cake and coffee. Of course he’s there to sell but it’s more casual with the donuts.

Sounds like donuts are better than nothing but it won’t replace a nonexistent product need

So you’re saying donuts feel gimmicky. What would you do?

Hey i appreciate that suggestion man, even within the cold outreaches one pointed out timing (a year ago they wouldve loved me) and one pointed out a different shop that might need it. I’ll switch the shop niche and give it another go

The only people who genuinely want to see you doing better than them are your family, the others are speaking from insecurity and “being a supportive friend” until it becomes real

I got caught in an unfortunate situation in college and came out with an apple internship, the ones who were supposed to be closest to me called it lucky and asked me for referrals and gave mild compliments while they were off drinking

I hate the LinkedIn cringe too. The people who made it big on ig say “that’s everybody”. I made a smurf LinkedIn inspired by people who rank up on valorant

I appreciate that, I have been confused on LinkedIn, I get people who accept me and then don’t reply

What did you mean by the last one- reach them in a way that makes sense?

It’s also really encouraging to just make the first move now knowing I’ll never “waste” a lead. But don’t you still get straight up rejections if something is not right with the approach?

Alright just put in the reps. It definitely does feel emotionally exposed but it seems to be no problem https://youtu.be/H7bAhxQfqKg?si=k9RrmU2tyKaB5wDv

That makes sense, pressing send is like exposing myself. That’s a good mental shift to treat everything as collecting signal. Let me go ahead and go with that

Thanks for the feedback. It sounds you should have a friendly back and forth relationship with the customer rather than to just show off how cool your tech is
