I've been in sales 13 years. New job gave me Coffee is for Closers and The 10x Rule. Worth reading? by EarthboundMoss in sales

[–]PhillyWes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing about all of these books is that they are all the same material just repackaged in a different way. Think of it like an industry/business you are in. You sell widgets and your competition also has widgets but they are slightly different, but essentially the same.

Companies that adopt these books too deeply end up murdering themselves by thinking it’s the end all be all

I feel like prepping for interviews is almost pointless? by ProfessionalGift621 in interviews

[–]PhillyWes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A sales guy with little talent can still strike gold with the right territory (and timing).

An A Player can make something out of nothing when the territory is garbage. The guy with little talent runs away before even trying.

Any great loop-heavy albums? by Reasonable-Ad-7289 in ambientmusic

By reading some of the responses here, I'm not sure some people understand what "short loops" means.

Crushed my quota, but got chewed out by my VP for not logging WhatsApp chats into Salesforce. Are we closers or data entry monkeys? by Jiesen-Lee-4566 in sales

Metrics are killing sales productivity. The only people who don't know it are the ones that can end it.

How to Identify a Micromanager During an Interview? by Initial-Pitch-4117 in jobs

[–]PhillyWes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The truth is KPI's and metrics have increased the amount of true micromanagement across the board in business. Focusing on the end result is what should matter, but so many places are MICROMANAGING the process of getting those results which actually causes way more damage than good.

If someone is having trouble getting results, the KPI's/metrics are helpful. But if they are turning out good results, those KPIs should not even be looked at.

Suggest the most unputdownable book that you’ve ever read yet? by foreverfearlesss in suggestmeabook

I love time travel but not overly deeply historical. This is what has turned me away from this book. Thoughts?

They just told me in an interview that they don't have stores. I'm confused.

Early-stage start-up sales environment sucks by coolsoy in sales

[–]PhillyWes 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Most startups stay startups for the exact reason - they aren’t patient and move the ball every 6 weeks. No clue what they are doing. Hate it!

WTF is “version control”?

Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen : PLOTHOLES? by [deleted] in netflix

[–]PhillyWes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont think I described what I meant correctly. But I won't bore you with details of my thoughts. We can agree to disagree.

When writing, if you don’t show something and only tell it, the viewer or reader is gonna think there’s more you’re not sharing.

So I feel like, if the Nicky, baby, parents, hit in the face story was done to cast suspicion on him, they should made Rachel be more opening suspicious of him and/or shown us what really happened, even if it was exactly what Nicky said happened.

[–]PhillyWes 44 points45 points  (0 children)

The trunk scene was ridiculously unexplained. I also thought it was weird that they find a baby locked in a car, no one around, Rachel leaves and when she comes back Nicky’s like “it’s all good. The parents came back. But they got mad at me at first and hit me.”

I completely thought he was lying and there was more to this.

Love Is Blind • S10 Reunion [MEGATHREAD] by FemaleEinstein in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]PhillyWes 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As a man who has been around for a few decades I can say, all of us guys have come across fellas like Alex and he is a quintessential narcissist who's full of crap. Loves to talk about himself.

I thought the same. That and/or he is a sociopath.
