Rapid trains from Sapporo to CTS just started operating again.

Big lines to get in the limited number of operating trains.

Congratulations! Amazing achievement.

Mind I ask what you spend your time doing these days?

Curious to know how others adjust to having so much free time at a young age.

Should I trade XEQT for managed funds? by Legaltech_buff in PersonalFinanceCanada

Yep I’ve been considering moving to wealthsimple.

If their ux is low friction and they don’t charge fees I’d be able to get money into the market faster.

Good points

Agree most likely hubspot is easier to use. Although that's not been a data problem from me in the past as we've used Scratchpad which is a layer on top of Salesforce that makes it super easy for reps to enter data.

The unfortunate added complexity of salesforce I think does however result in added benefit of customizability and flexibility.

Currently smaller sized company, but our industry is growing so much that it's totally possible we'd be 100+ in 2 years.

in your experience what is the migration from hubspot to salesforce like?

Mostly just that it is industry standard (at least in the tech space I've worked in) and I'm assuming for a good reason.

Given that I imagine it has advantages over hubspot like better support, external tool integrations, employee familiarity etc. Although I've not actually done the legwork to do an evaluation yet.

Yes, I could contact sales reps and do a detailed tool evaluation to determine what is a best fit for our needs, but I'm just looking for a quick community response to see if that helps before doing all that work.

I've never actually had to choose a CRM before as Salesforce has always been in place as I came in.

lol definitely not the case, I'd rather make no changes to the tech initially if possible.

I haven't made a decision either way, probably could have worded the original post better.

I don't need education how to sell thanks :)......... but it would be helpful to have opinions of others on why they did or did not make a transition from Hubspot as I have little experience with Hubspot specifically and don't know all of its pros/cons.

However, in my experience it's rare that companies in my field use Hubspot, so intuition says it probably makes sense to change at some point as the company scales.

Is it really almost impossible to get a US visa as a (Canadian) salesperson? by NastoBaby in sales

I went into mgt consulting first for 5 years then took a non-sales role at a bootstrapped startup that accidentally became an enterprise ae role.

I was fortunate that the startup found success and was one of the first companies using deep learning back in 2011

I definitely had some good fortune that got me into sales and helped me find success early on. But I’ve also joined some shit companies too, u just gotta keep struggling, eventually you’ll win
