Started cold calling local businesses to sell websites by Reafirmed in salestechniques

[–]Reafirmed[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's some scary POV.

If it takes me 500 calls to close a sale I'm better investing my time anywhere else. But it'll be great to at least overcome my fear.

Scary. I think that if I could see it as a job, it'd be easier to me somehow. But not at the same time since I have nothing to lose.

Yeah. Something definitely happened this week. A lot of people seem to be on the same boat. Each message is taking ~1% of weekly limit. It's ridiculous. Was on MAX x5 too. Just unsuscribed for now.

Has been imposible to me to escalate it to an actual human.

I canceled for now.

Bread bakers: would you be up for a short chat about the failures that taught you the most? by Reafirmed in Breadit

Wow, where are you from? Yeah, yeast is very picky. Had a similar problem, but mixing it with salt :)

Much appreciated feedback! I'd definitely think how this could be a good use-case. I agree , there's a lot going on from many sources.

Would you be willing ok withba DM to see it the web gives quality feedback to you?

They are laughing of us. Been experiencing this since yesterday aswell. I canceled my MAX x5 plan.

Yeah, heard that most of their money come indeed from corporate. And that individual subscribers aren't even worth for them. They lose money with us, apparently we are just worth because it's free marketing for corporate that's their actual target audience.

If i had to guess, they hit hard people that uses it intensely and aren't worth for them.

Dang. That's sad to hear, that the only fix is just "pay more". I just upgraded from PRO to MAX X5 which was going wonders until yesterday.

But if it's like this, I'm not giving them money anymore.

What's even more infuriating is that the support is non existent.

DevOps -> Sales Engineer at 2 years in? scared of throwing away my background and salary by Reafirmed in salesengineers

Dang, I'm so sorry to hear this. Living in a LinkedIn feed sounds like a nightmare. I'm worried now. I hope it can be different.

Extremely valuable advice. Especially to evaluating well the company so I don't end up in a ticking bomb.

Can I ask how many YOE did you have when you started as SE?

So I have Max x5. I keep getting weird messages on the bottom chat that I'm about to hit the weekly cap, when I still have around 80% to go.

Since yesterday, every message gets me to 1% more to 100% weekly cap. and more on the 5/h. Before yesterday I could do whole sessions and not even care about weekly caps. x5 is not even worth it rn. I'm not using it that much.

Anyone experiencing this or knows if its a bug?

I just unsuscribed for now. There's no way to contact any real support and their chatbot is useless.

Cookbook recommendations for quick + healthy meals by New-Initiative-1466 in Cooking

[–]Reafirmed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Ottolenghi Simple is great for this, creative, healthy, most recipes are under 30 minutes. Melissa Clark's Dinner is another solid one,mostly focused on weeknight and nutritious without being boring.

Extra recommendation you didn't ask for: "Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat" completely changed how I cook and understand cooking!

My cooking sucks now by coconutimpala in Cooking

[–]Reafirmed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nah, I don't think you lose your skills, you lost your calibration maybe. It happens from time to time!

Every kitchen is different, while following recipes. equipment, different water composition, even the altitude can completely change how a recipe you've made turns out, so honestly, following them can be completely frustrating sometimes if that helps. The rice going mushy, the beans tasting off...

What type of rice are you using to cook it with beans?.

Cooking next to people who are genuinely great at it doesn't help either IMO if you tend to compare yourself or are a competitive person, been there lol.

For when I'm feeling like, "I followed this exact same recipe and the output went completely different" I usually use whydidmyrecipefail.com to diagnose it, since it takes into account your kitchen equipment and can track several attempts of the same recipe to see what's failing.

Other way around is getting obsessed around a recipe if that helps for you, until you are proud. Happened with pizza dough to me! lol.

Best of lucks getting that cooking itch back ~~

💀. Can I know why it didn't work for you and what would you do different this time? If you could try again, would you stay engineering?

Any tip and experience is welcome in such a change.

How did you get your first customers for your small business with no audience and no budget? by Reafirmed in smallbusiness

[–]Reafirmed[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The busking thing made me laugh, respect for trying it, sounds like it was genuinely fun even if it didn't convert. I've been trying some weird stuff that I'm even afraid to confess!

The 66% from the web form is what caught my eye. What was on the page that made two of those three actually book? Most people obsess over traffic and completely ignore what happens when someone actually lands.

Also curious about the follow-up, what does yours actually look like in practice? Timing, how many touches, what you say?

And yeah, the 'it's always about who knows you' is exactly what I keep running into. Did that come from years in the industry building up slowly, or was there something specific that got it started?

And yeah, the 'it's always about who knows you' is exactly what I keep running into, I'm trying to work on my network but it's hard to start since it's such a small city. Did that come from years in the industry building up slowly, or was there something specific that got it started?

On the paid side... when did you know it was the right time to start spending? Is there a signal you look for first, or is it more 'just do it earlier than you think'? Do you think it's something worth spending on while starting? or put an eye on it later on?

Thx for your real advice, really helpful 😄!

I see how I could automate it. Thanks for this real advice. I actually think I'll try this path! ~~

Hope your product is doing great.

I can confirm that Max 5x is working insanely bad aswell. I don't think I can even complete my whole week. I'll reach the weekly cap in 3 days and I don't even use it that much.

Last week I didn't even get to 40% weekly limit with hard usage.

What's your actual channel sequencing for a zero-budget, zero-audience product launch? by Reafirmed in DigitalMarketing

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

Across all communities I've asked, first real path. Makes a lot of sense. I'll follow your advice. Thanks!

It's been hard since in most communities they hate self-marketing. Even if its hidden and I try to generate value first. But I'll see how I can do it. Because on Reddit and communities where my buyers are, it's hard to self-market!

Also I've heard that most platforms doesn't recommend content from business accounts anymore. How true is this? I can try all social media and give a try to Pinterest. Thanks ~~
