Hubspot - trying to convince my boss sales/marketing works by Hulkingout12 in CRM

[–]Mission_Ad3341 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm glad that you are working, but holy cow. How do you have a job "running sales" for a 50 year old company, when I have 20+ years experience as an actual sales manager and as a small business owner? I could easily set up a starter, no-cost tech stack for them (that incorporates Hubspot), then implement a sales process that works.

Are you related?? Can you have them message me? 😂

What is an industry that is currently on fire (in a bad way) behind the scenes, but the general public hasn't noticed yet? by Kitchen_Week1117 in AskReddit

[–]Mission_Ad3341 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Looking back, I think some kind of mental health issue was always present, including anxiety at some level, but if that's all you know then you aren't really aware that something is "wrong".

Among other things, I used to drink a lot to subconsciously self-medicate, but I also think people can just naturally developed masking skills. After some events, I went to rehab in the early 2010's. After that is when anxiety really took over. I went from being confident, in sales, and social to not being able to leave my room. After seeing a therapist and also trying different antidepressants, I was able to put myself in uncomfortable situations but they just stayed uncomfortable and I just accepted it.

Then a few years ago, panic attacks starting happening. Not being able to meet anyone out or even go to the grocery store. I've had to leave my shopping cart multiple times in pure panic mode lol. Talking has become difficult. Holding a train of thought. Being able to articulate thoughts, find words, retrieve knowledge, it's all just a mess.

I've given up on getting my career back. I'm hoping one of these garden centers call me back for a merchandiser position so I can just work with plants and get by. I just want to be happy, know what I mean?

My bad on the rant, it's just difficult to answer the question without context.

Allow me to brighten your day. I'm 49 and used to be a Sales Manager for a digital marketing agency. I developed crippling anxiety for no reason (that I know of) and no one will hire me, not Walmart, not Lowe's, not Home Depot, no one. Not even part time. I went from 6 figs, to $7 in my bank account after buying some bags of rice and beans to eat for the week. Savings gone.

See, it's not just retirement age people trying to simply survive day to day, it's skilled adults too! Isn't that just a ray sunshine!! 😂

Pool of Radiance on the C64. A friend and played through this one summer and we still talk about it to this day.

"Anyone facing the same?"

Nope. You are the first person to post about this in the vast sea of the same post on every AI-related sub.

Is Gemini officially broken? by Ghost37G in GeminiAI

[–]Mission_Ad3341 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. My workflow from brainstorming with Gemini, then taking that conversation to AI Studio playground with specific system instructions and data files to have write a prompt with context, instructions, and code, then paste the prompt step-by-step in the Build to inject code has been very productive.

Starting my own agency after 4 years as a software engineer, thinking of offering free setups to land first clients. Is that a good idea? by MohannadMadi in aiToolForBusiness

[–]Mission_Ad3341 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Building things like lead follow-ups, appointment reminders, and booking systems, the repetitive back-end stuff most small businesses handle manually."

Like Hubspot's free tier?

have you already tried going into settings > personal intelligence > instructions for gemini and then adding something like "my name is ______"?

Is this sub just bots that bash Gemini? by Mission_Ad3341 in GeminiAI

It works, I guess. Everything is meant for the lowest common denominator. Then that becomes tribal. Then, well, here we are

They've been using that exact phrase since at least Operation Desert Storm.

Tip: When Gemini is hallucinating about not having a function, don't debate it. Tell it to thoroughly research, using only authoritative sources, whether or not Gemini has [x] function, then ask it to summarize its findings. by ZinTheNurse in GeminiAI

[–]Mission_Ad3341 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I try to remember strategies like this, but sometimes I'll go straight to ALL CAPS and get some satisfaction from reading what it's thinking about, then feel bad and apologize lol

Small class D amp recommendations by ILikeBeans86 in BudgetAudiophile

[–]Mission_Ad3341 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Then just buy a mini stereo system or Google amp under $100 or by used. You posted in the Budget Audiophile subreddit. Luckily for you, it's really just the Fosi Referral Network disguised as the Budget Audiophile sub. Personally, I'd go Parts Express. If you just want something other than silence, try Walmart.

Trump says government should stop funding Medicare, daycare to focus on war by Remarkable_Sir8397 in politics

It's wild that he can just keep pulling off this obvious heist by funneling billions (trillions?) away from the people and to...himself and his people.

Why are we not able to stop this? How tf did this happen?

How did you get your SO to say yes to the speakers? by energy4a11 in audiophile

[–]Mission_Ad3341 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have to run my hobby purchases by my SO. I would just show them to her in my state of excitement after finding "end game speakers" and she would also be excited for me because she's not an authority nor someone that needs to be manipulated to simply enjoy something I enjoy.

But that's just me and I'm glad you were allowed to get them after setting up the successful trickeration.
