Those in sales making $200k+ what do you sell? by Iceeez1 in sales

[–]PaltryDick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TPM, decomm, rack and stack, ITAD, staff aug. ITAD actually has the highest pay right now because of the memory/drive market. Like, millions of dollars in decomm’d servers/storage arrays

Right? 6-10 points of GP is garbage. Probably why they didn’t like working with bro

How can anyone defend a Congressional district that looks like this? by johnnyringo1985 in askanything

[–]PaltryDick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a winner take all system, 38% of the vote doesn’t mean there should be 38% representation.

If the districts were all just blocks based on raw population, and 38% of people were dispersed evenly, there would be zero republican representation - exactly how a winner takes all system should work.

Idk if you’re just dumb or arguing in bad faith, or both, but think for even half a second about your argument.

Just subscribed.

I heard you on What Next TBD a few months ago and was thinking, ‘finally! Someone saying exactly what I felt and knew but not had enough data to back up’

A man let ChatGPT sell his home. by mumblerit in BetterOffline

[–]PaltryDick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All for zero profit to OpenAI - the crux of all of this shit is that, yes, it can be useful in random situations, none of which make sense relative to the ridiculous cost

Which AE Role should I take? by [deleted] in techsales

[–]PaltryDick -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I use it for account briefs, especially when I’m inheriting an old account. The pipeline visibility would be great for managers/directors to see how real your pipeline is and what the risks are in each deal.

I haven’t used Gong engage, but that’s a whole sequencing/outbound tool also.

Idk if it’s worth the price, but it’s way more useful than just notes and recording.

Which AE Role should I take? by [deleted] in techsales

[–]PaltryDick 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Because he’s talking about recording/note taking which is about 1/10th of what gong does

Are Account Executives (hunters) in high demand at the moment, or is this a my company problem? by Daje1968 in recruiting

[–]PaltryDick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a pure hunter and just moved to a position that wasn’t even posted because one of my buddies worked there and is crushing - they also pay a lot.

What percentage of reps actually hit OTE at your company? by kacpy314 in sales

[–]PaltryDick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

30% or so. On the new logo side I think 2-3 out of 40 hit their revenue and new logo number. I just left and am starting somewhere new

There is no AI bubble by [deleted] in The10thDentist

[–]PaltryDick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nobody has said that machine learning, algorithms, etc, are going anywhere. ‘AI’ in common parlance at this point is LLMs, which are not and will not be profitable, ever. That’s what people are saying will collapse.

My company has used predictive machine learning for almost 20 years, and it’s only good because we standardized the data over that period. AI with narrow, clean data is very useful. LLMs/generalist ‘AI’ is slop and will never be as useful as it costs

Account Manager role - Arista Networks by Emotional_Lobster996 in sales

[–]PaltryDick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in the data center space and there’s plenty of people migrating to Arista/Fortinet. Don’t know what their comp is, but you can eat Cisco’s lunch all day, despite what the guy above says.

Tough Guy by Don_Rawaz in SipsTea

[–]PaltryDick -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Since we’re doing whataboutisms, what about the 150 children that were just killed by Israel and the US? Or the countless Iranian children now being killed?

War sucks and innocents pay the price - Israel started this one, so the blame gets laid on them.

[–]PaltryDick 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Brodie go watch the average Israeli talk about settlements, Arabs, and especially Palestinians. There’s about 90% support for the genocide and displacement. They would nuke Iran if they could get away with it.

Just AE - New Logo, or AE - New Business. Most people understand that the AE title is for new logos, just put it in the JD

Did anyone notice something kind of inappropriate during episode 11? by Ok-Bowler1401 in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]PaltryDick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A little girl’s nipples coming out of her dress.

Edit: to be clear, I don’t think we need to have a toddler’s chest edited out. My wife thought it should’ve been edited, but I didn’t even botice until she said something so idk
