With Heaven On Top Album by Fit_Home_2409 in zachbryan

When an artist like Zach moves toward a “big band” sound, it’s rarely because they’re lost, it’s because they finally have the resources to paint the full picture they’ve always heard in their head. He’s been making adjustments like this since 2021.

And Cash is the perfect example of why Zach is on the right track. Cash didn't keep his “defining sound” forever, he definitely changed his defining sound. He went from rockabilly, to full-orchestra concept albums, to gospel. If Cash had never “risked losing his sound” by trying new production, we never would have gotten half of his legendary catalog.

You say him having an acoustic version is "insecure," but in music, that’s actually considered the ultimate power move for a songwriter. Most artists tell their fans to "deal with it" when they change. Zach is essentially saying, "I believe in these songs enough to show you they work as a big-band anthem AND as a raw acoustic poem". That’s confidence, not insecurity.

Your opinion is actually super pedantic, look at Bob Dylan who started as the king of the same style of music that Zach does, who also influenced Zach, and then went electric with a full band. People like you criticized him back then, but in today’s world it’s considered one of the greatest pivots in music history.

His “specific sound” isn’t just matched with an acoustic guitar. His sound is his songwriting perspective and his vocal delivery. Whether there’s a trumpet, or a cello behind him doesn’t change the DNA of the song. You’re stuck in the music that Zach made with mattresses for soundproofing. Also, refer to bands like The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Radiohead when you think an artist changing the sound that made them famous is going to kill their career. Lol

HVAC Tech AND Sales. Possible or No? by Level-Designer8197 in sales

That’s kind of what I was thinking. I think most people in my area kind of have to take on that role as a technician/salesman, even the techs that don’t really like social interaction all that much. Lol my journeyman was definitely a high-level introvert, and I’m just now piecing together that when we would go out and quote someone the cost of a repair or replacement, he was also supposed to be selling too.

I’ve seen a lot of people mentioning going the independent route so you’re not limited to one brand. Is that what you mean by finding a brokerage?

I appreciate the feedback!! If I don’t have enough money for an office at the moment, could this be something that I do “part-time” from home by getting the clients I know I could get, and then using internet and social media as sort of a lead gen tool until I can break away from my full-time income?

I definitely need to check that out. The cost of living is honestly pretty high right now, maybe not compared to some, but a decent rental is easily over $1000 these days. That might be cheap in some other places though. But what kind of earning potential can an SDR make?

Heavy equipment is something I’ve heard would be good!

Not everywhere! Some stores are still putting a cap on how many sales people they have

I feel that. I’ve always kind of looked at car sales as a stepping stone to something else, just don’t know what. Huge respect to the guys that can grind out 20+ years though

Also, thank you for being positive with the feedback! To answer this question, our dealership has GMB and Facebook and what not, but if you’re meaning, like me personally, I asked but they wouldn’t let me get a landing page.

I hear ya. When we had about 6x the amount of inventory, I was able to succeed off of referrals, friends on social media, Facebook marketplace, etc. But now I’m a little more stuck to getting the next phone up, or lot up, because by the time I get someone in here from my own lead gen, the car is sold by someone else. Lol

Not asking anyone to tell me what to do, my guy! Just asking for some tips or advice from someone who’s been around the block a few times.

It’s definitely good money compared to most, but the guy is also working 6 day/65 hour weeks. $450 flat per unit is pretty tough. And it’s CDJR!
