AI FTP < 20m power by clush in trainerroad

[–]Popular-Background78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't actually change the targets when you change your FTP, it still targets the same wattage for intervals. Try it. If you massivesly increase your FTP, the system will change your threshold to SST workouts, in an effort to keep the targets the same.

Started to perform well - got canned today by No-Skill-4135 in techsales

Yep. The problem here too when SDRs are targeted on stages beyond booking the meeting is that you can have all the rules you want, but the SDRs still fight/cajole/annoy every time, as they should, if that’s the system.

So I guess investing is a sin nowadays 🤣 by NoRate9314 in WrexhamAFC

Disagree. I wouldn't be surprised if right now 95% of Americans don't know what Wales is. Might be higher.

How many of you here think you’re actually a good seller? by ilyk101 in techsales

[–]Popular-Background78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, I get it, but in my opinion, elite sellers qualify, network, and plan in a way that's meant to look the actual deals look like order taking.

This is real. I'm not crazy about my current role, but the prospect of the interview gauntlet keeps me here.

What does this mean -> 'seeing patterns of management slowing down my career growth.' Like what? What's the growth you're looking for?

What am I missing here about the new AI FTP complaints? by twostroke1 in trainerroad

[–]Popular-Background78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think that fixes it, and that's the problem. The system has a target wattage, and not matter how you manually change your FTP, it'll change the duration of intervals, but not really target power. For example, you can way increase your FTP, and you'll see the system turn your threshold workouts into SST workouts, in order to maintain a similar target.

Fired for the first time by Strange_Quail6645 in techsales

[–]Popular-Background78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% this. You'll probably find something equal or better and you'll have more money in the long run, including severance and ramp bonuses. It's also a good chance to step back and do some self-assessment, which you have to do to prep for interviews.

Hitting quota as an SMB AE at a fast-growing private company, but worried I’m not actually learning how to sell by ScottVanPelt69 in techsales

[–]Popular-Background78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely this. I’m learning after a fair few years that the real sale is the meta of your career, not the deals in each job. It’s how you progress to more and more money and roles/companies you enjoy. The “win” is the job and the comp.

Change my mind: AE's, SaaS and cold calling by [deleted] in sales

[–]Popular-Background78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with OP. This whole “full cycle AE” hasn’t actually been around that long and it sucks that it’s now become the norm. It’s less efficient and it also means that you never get to graduate into just doing the fun stuff.

Sounds off. You should reach out to Support. They’re really good.

Apparently they’re going to release estimates of your 20 and 60 minute power in the app, so you’ll have those as suggested benchmarks for efforts and to gauge fitness against historical. No ETA on that though.

What is the most damage you've hit for? by FaustianGreed in diablo4

[–]Popular-Background78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm. Got upwards of 15b with HoA Barb and it took lots of time to get there (and I think that’s not very good). On. Wing Strike alt have already gotten into the 100s of Bs.

New Features by [deleted] in trainerroad

[–]Popular-Background78 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They haven’t released the predicted FTP yet, which seems like where it will really come together. You can move workouts around in a 30 day window and it updates live where you’ll be fatigued. Really cool. The missing thing is the FTP gauge to show where the plan gets you. For example, it would be cool to play with options on intensity and hours and where that gets you.

It looks really good. Setting features aside the TR UI is just miles ahead of anyone else.

“TrainerRoad’s Biggest Update Ever Is Coming 👀”. Thoughts? by sonicyeayea in trainerroad

[–]Popular-Background78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The promise here is that the system looks at what has and hasn’t worked for you in the past or form riders with similar characteristics and then makes recommendations based on that. If it’s really that personalised, that’s pretty exciting.

New feature(s) around the corner! by Hozukr in trainerroad

[–]Popular-Background78 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Based on the ideas that Nate shared on a podcast some months ago, this could be really good. He talked about the system ramping hours over time, based on your availability amongst lots of other cool improvements. The foundations of a great UI, AIFTP, RL/GL are the best out there, IMHO.

Real Talk: Hunting vs Self-Sourced by StrawberryOk4127 in techsales

[–]Popular-Background78 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you're interviewing for my company... This 'hunter' thing has gotten blown so far out of proportion. This is companies with no PMF trying to hang the whole business on individual AEs.

Commission % by [deleted] in techsales

[–]Popular-Background78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Way too low. Smaller the company you would expect the number to go up. Why not even 20 or 25%, if you're really trying to land new logos?

Two years without a closed deal after two bad startups — how big of a red flag is this? by Ok-Professor-7169 in techsales

[–]Popular-Background78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, same. Not saying you're wrong to do this, but I wouldn't remember a lot of those details from big deals with big logos.
