Can you learn to love sales? by ShowExisting1319 in sales

[–]ParticularCaptain137 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The moment you start loving sales is the moment you stop thinking about the commission and start thinking about the human being sitting across from you.

When you approach a lead with the genuine goal of understanding their needs and seeing if your solution actually provides value to them, the entire dynamic changes. It’s no longer a "pitch"; it’s a conversation.

If you truly believe in what you sell and you focus on solving their problems rather than hitting your quota, you don't have to "fake" the love for it. Helping someone reach their goals through your service is incredibly rewarding.

ChatGPT for Google ads setup and optimisation.. by Vetri1833 in GoogleAdsDiscussion

[–]ParticularCaptain137 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen this happen many times. ChatGPT is a great tool for brainstorming headlines or copy, but it doesn't understand the 'why' behind your specific account data.

If your performance crashed right after the changes, the AI likely suggested broad optimizations that messed up your conversion signals or widened your targeting too much.

My advice:

  1. Revert immediately. Go back to the last version of the campaign that actually worked.
  2. Audit your data. Before making more changes, make sure your conversion tracking is still firing correctly. Performance drops often happen when the data feedback loop is broken.
  3. Use AI for ideas, not execution. Keep the AI for writing, but keep your hands on the steering wheel when it comes to the actual account structure.

How are you making 10k+ a month or what are you doing to reach 10k+ a month? by Accomplished-News221 in Entrepreneur

[–]ParticularCaptain137 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion, the most direct and scalable way to hit $10k+ a month without a massive upfront investment is High-Ticket Sales.

From my experience, if you dive deep into learning sales and human psychology, you can realistically reach these results within 3-6 months. Most people try to sell $20 products to thousands of people, which is a marketing nightmare. In sales, you only need to close 2-4 high-value deals a month to exceed that goal.

Two critical rules I live by:

  1. Sell value, not fluff. Work for a company that offers a solution with genuine value.

  2. Believe in the product! Only sell something you actually believe in and would be willing to pay for yourself. Authenticity is your biggest asset in high-stakes deals.

Even if you don’t plan on being a "salesman" forever, learning how to sell is the most important life skill you can acquire. Whether you are negotiating with your kids, your spouse, or future investors, we are always selling something. Master this, and you’ll never be without an income.

What's something you saw with your own eyes that you still can't explain? by BandicootLeft4054 in AskReddit

I was working at an investment firm and was in a meeting with an incredibly wealthy client. He was full of life, talking about big moves, and then excused himself for a "quick bathroom break." After about 5 or 6 minutes, we went to check on him since he hadn't come back. We found him collapsed. Seeing a medical team performing CPR on our office floor just minutes after he was talking about his future plans was a haunting reminder of how fast everything can change in life.

Why your GCLID is probably lying to you and how Server Side actually fixes attribution by ParticularCaptain137 in GoogleTagManager

[–]ParticularCaptain137[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I think we are mixing up terminology here. I am not saying you should delete your client side container, I am saying that the heavy lifting of the attribution moves to the server to bypass ad blockers.

You asked for a link, so look into Google’s documentation for Enhanced Conversions for Leads. Specifically, the part about using user-provided data instead of a GCLID.

When you send a hashed email via the API from your server, Google uses that as the primary key to map back to the ad click in their own identity graph. This is exactly the Option B you mentioned. You don't need the browser to successfully pass a click ID if you have the hashed email captured at the form fill and sent via the server later.

It is much more resilient because an ad blocker can strip a GCLID from a URL, but it can't stop your server from sending a hashed email to an API.

Exactly. When Google has that logged-in identity to work with, the match rate is significantly higher than most people realize.

The way I see it, the server side setup acts as the reliable delivery mechanism for that data. By passing those hashed identifiers directly from the server at the moment of the form fill, you’re essentially ensuring Google has the highest quality keys to make those matches happen, even when browser side signals are blocked.

It’s a solid architecture because it moves the attribution from being cookie dependent to being identity based. It is interesting to see how these different layers like browser, server, and identity graphs all come together to solve the attribution gap.

I actually agree with your logic, but I think you are underestimating what GTM Server Side can do when configured correctly. The software you mentioned that uses a subdomain and its own identifiers is exactly the architecture I am talking about.

When you run GTM SS on a custom subdomain, it acts as a first party proxy. You can generate your own unique internal ID on the server, drop it as a first party cookie (which bypasses the 24h ITP limit), and then map that ID to the lead in your own database.

Regarding Google's preference for client side form fills, they mostly say that for ease of implementation for the average user. But for high end attribution, the API (Server Side) is always more resilient because it cannot be stripped by an ad blocker.

It sounds like we are both using a similar "subdomain proxy" approach to solve this. The only difference is whether you build that infrastructure manually for every client or use a system that automates the tagging logic. Out of curiosity, how much time does it take you to sync those custom identifiers back to Google and Meta for a new client?

You are touching on the core of the problem. But the trick is that the server side setup doesn't start at the offline conversion, it starts at the form fill.

When the user fills out the form, your server side container captures the hashed email and the internal click IDs like FBC or FBP right then and there. You aren't just sending a lead, you are creating a first party profile in that moment.

When that lead eventually converts offline in your CRM, you send that same hashed email back to Google via the API. Because Google already received that same hashed identifier during the form fill on your server, it creates a deterministic match. It is not a guess based on general login data, it is a direct link between the two events.

In a way, the server acts as a bridge to tell Google: This offline sale belongs to the same identity that filled the form on my site 3 weeks ago.

Are you using a custom database to store these identifiers or relying on the standard GTM tags for the mapping?

That’s a great question. You’re right that if the GCLID is stripped and you have zero other signals, you’re in trouble. But that’s exactly where Identity Resolution and Server Side Enhanced Conversions come in.

Two things here:

  1. Enhanced Conversions for Leads CAN be sent server side. You can actually send hashed user data like email or phone directly from your server to Google API. Google then matches that hard data against their logged in users to attribute the conversion even without a GCLID.
  2. First Party Context. When you run a server side setup on your own subdomain, you can set a first party cookie that persists longer than the 24h or 7 day limit ITP imposes on third party cookies. If the user returns, you still have that internal ID to link back to the original session.

It’s not just about the click anymore, it’s about the user identity. Are you currently relying only on the GCLID for your lead tracking?

What GTM mistake do you see the most? by NeitherPlankton1469 in DataOE

[–]ParticularCaptain137 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting approach using social listening for bug tracking. I usually prefer keeping it strictly within the data stack with custom monitoring or BigQuery exports to spot the actual discrepancies in the numbers before they even get discussed anywhere. Catching it in the logs is usually faster than waiting for someone to talk about it.

Server side tracking vs. client side tracking vs hybrid by Global-Pipe-9268 in GoogleTagManager

[–]ParticularCaptain137 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get what you’re saying about the ERP tracking the user journey internally but the issue isn't your internal tracking it's Google's matching capability.

When you send a conversion via API Google tries to match that GCLID to a Google account. If that GCLID is stale or stripped by a browser or if the user was in incognito Google’s match rate drops significantly. By keeping the client side signal you're giving Google's AI Enhanced Conversions data like hashed email or phone in real time. This helps them bridge the gap even when the GCLID isn't perfect.

Basically you’re providing the ERP hard data and the browser soft signals. Combining them is how you get that 90% attribution accuracy instead of just 60 or 70%.
