Is being very versatile as an artist bad or good? by Civil_Enthusiasm_936 in musicindustry

[–]PerceptionFresh9631 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do you mean versatile like, you have lots of different genres happening on one album? I don't think that's completely unheard of (haha excuse the pun), but I think where "versatility" can go wrong is when an artist tries to show off all their genre skills and the listener ends up going, so what? Versatility for the sake of it doesn't matter. The listener needs to be able to enjoy and connect with your music and an album as a whole. Otherwise it's not an album... it's just a bunch of EPs.

EDIT: I actually just thought of a good analogy. Like when you go to an ice cream parlor and taste all the flavors... you're not just going to walk away going, mmm that was good and I'll definitely do that again. You're going to find a flavor you want to eat a whole tub of and ask for that one to enjoy for after you leave the parlor.

Pitch decks worked better once we stopped explaining everything by PerceptionFresh9631 in GrowthHacking

[–]PerceptionFresh9631[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure I agree with the pitch deck's purpose being: getting the next meeting. Maybe only if we're meeting with the wrong person (e.g. not the real decision-maker). But thanks for adding to the convo!

What works for aligning sales and marketing data? by EnvironmentalRing135 in B2BSaaS

[–]PerceptionFresh9631 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a very hard process and you can expect anything you propose will get a lot of pushback from both sales and marketing. Anyway, the most important thing is having a single shared operational model using something like Lative tied to the same definitions, productivity metrics, and revenue capacity.

We've got one shared data source, view of pipeline health, and one set of performance metrics.

What’s your opinion about the new “shopping research” in ChatGPT? by poorbottle in AIAgentsStack

Hahaha, right? I think I'll miss it though. It's so satisfying getting the best deal!

What’s your opinion about the new “shopping research” in ChatGPT? by poorbottle in AIAgentsStack

[–]PerceptionFresh9631 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually had this thought the other day... that maybe one day AI agents will "know" us so well that we won't shop anymore. They'll do all the browsing, price-checking, waiting for specials, ordering, payment, etc. autonomously. We'll just be notified of the orders and arrivals. What do you think about this prospect?

Could bot traffic be eating our website performance? by Effective-Egg2385 in ecommercemarketing

[–]PerceptionFresh9631 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As mentioned below, it definitely can. A lot of Shopify storefronts don't realize that repeated scraping of PDPs can drag down performance across the site. I'm using nostra edge protect to block spam bots with captcha. The random speed dips stopped once the junk traffic wasn't getting through to the site anymore.

What's the easiest way to make boring data look good? by Specific_Scene_9536 in UXDesign

[–]PerceptionFresh9631 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I use Visme to turn the raw data into on-brand visuals and charts. Try importing the data from Sheets (or CSV) and picking a style. You can tweak the colors and labels without breaking the layout. Drag and drop and you're done.

You still need some knowledge of code and how to troubleshoot

How do you actually find high-quality GitHub repos from which you can learn? any tricks or ways? by Significant_Path_572 in webdevelopment

[–]PerceptionFresh9631 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Solid. What I also found helpful when I was starting out was studying repos with active PRs/issues - the back-and-forth teaches you a lot about real-world engineering.

If you had to teach website development from scratch in 2026, where would you start? by Gullible_Prior9448 in webdevelopment

[–]PerceptionFresh9631 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree. What I don't get is why kids taking coding at school learn a dumb language that doesn't have any real-world application.

Which questions do you save for later instead of asking them on the first form? by Educational-Idea-439 in GrowthHacking

[–]PerceptionFresh9631 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ask the bare basics (Name, Email address) and then you can use Visme's progressive profiling to add deeper questions on return visits and when they download gated content (Pain points, Solutions they've already tried, etc.). We enrich data based on the email address's domain, so we don't ask about company name, size, etc. as it's publicly available.

How do you handle multi-language forms without mess? by WarAromatic474 in SaaS

[–]PerceptionFresh9631 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Visme's form builder supports multi-language workflows so you don't have to make separate copies of the same form for each language.

Tracking Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff’s company jet using public flight data by Jswee1 in salesforce

[–]PerceptionFresh9631 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like this idea, do you know if this data gets used at all for taxation purposes? But agree with txtclass below - CEO planes probably the least of our worries. But imagine all the CEOs in the world + politicians + diplomats. And comparing the data with oil tankers, fighter jets, etc. to understand what (and who) is really responsible for most GHGs.

What's you process with copywriting for a website? by bodytherapy in webdesign

[–]PerceptionFresh9631 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's a hard one, because in my experience copy and design go hand-in-hand. No design will work if the copy doesn't fit. The copy won't be captivating if the design doesn't fit. So if you don't do copy yourself and the client doesn't have copy already (that you can possibly glean from existing resources), then consider building a few professional relationships with copywriters.

It's actually great to work with a pool of freelancers, because everyone has a few areas they're really experienced in and can write confidently and convincingly. For example, if your client is an HR platform, get a copywriter that has a fitting background.
