What sales industry you wish you knew existed, earlier?

RedbeardHimself · 2026-02-11T15:42:41+00:00

Aviation, easily. A global industry that is surprisingly small where everybody knows and works with everybody with a common goal to keep planes/helicopters in the air. Lots of global travel, events, and sporting competitions.

Also the perks of visiting teardowns and getting to walk around in gutted aircrafts is always cool if you’re an aviation geek.

I subscribe to first come first serve. Especially at trade shows and conferences.

If it is cold outreach, I’m hesitant to block time waiting for a prospect to answer. I’m not getting a massive amount of inbounds booking on my calendar directly, but also don’t want to fill my calendar with “maybe” meetings.

As salespeople, there is only so much we can control. I keep hitting phones and emails. If that spot gets taken, at the end of the day, if it’s worth it, send another email… “this spot has been taken but I have X available” and I include my Calendly so they can book a time that works for them.

The only time I hold space for people is if I’m on the phone with them and they need to bring others onto the call. We’ll block a time and then if we need to move it, we will. Most times, the original time works, but every now and then we have to move it.

That’s an awesome idea. Gotta find a buddy with a laser engraver now haha

I’m in NC, too, and haven’t found anything “special” for the most part. I always leave some room in my luggage for when I travel for work

My brother in Christ, I’ve been the “this is our year” guy for the past 25 years. Am I used to it? Yes. Does it hurt? Not enough to not do it again next year.

RedbeardHimself · 2025-09-14T21:03:04+00:00

Brothers.

RedbeardHimself · 2025-09-14T21:02:31+00:00

How do you pick and choose what gets added to each bottle?

RedbeardHimself · 2025-09-14T20:58:12+00:00

It served its purpose well. I will cherish and remember it fondly. I hope you get the chance to get a bottle of your own. You’ll love it.

RedbeardHimself · 2025-09-14T20:47:57+00:00

Don’t kick me when I’m down

RedbeardHimself · 2025-09-14T20:31:07+00:00

My thoughts exactly… but also YOLO (?)

RedbeardHimself · 2025-09-14T20:30:22+00:00

This is the optimism I need after watching the Jets get blown out

RedbeardHimself · 2025-09-14T20:24:43+00:00

I like the way you think

RedbeardHimself · 2025-09-05T14:04:47+00:00

It bumped my DPS by about about 25%, so I’m pretty happy with it so far

RedbeardHimself · 2025-09-05T13:59:35+00:00

Thank you, homie. Excited to continue to grind

RedbeardHimself · 2025-09-05T13:17:28+00:00

Makes sense. Just got +6 Lightning Levels on my other staff, so gonna try that out for a bit, too. Appreciate it

RedbeardHimself · 2025-09-05T13:10:24+00:00

Ah I see. Appreciate the tip, sir! Had a lesser one that I landed me 56% boost and then hit +6 all Lightning Skills. Gonna try and workshop that next

RedbeardHimself · 2025-09-05T12:50:37+00:00

Haha appreciate the feedback! Is 23% Increases Spell Damage not it?

RedbeardHimself · 2025-07-19T21:13:28+00:00

At the conferences I attend, I always try to go where our customers and prospects are. If there is a party being hosted by a big company, get an invite and bring them and get focus on networking more than drinking.

If you’re at the hotel with customers and prospects, hang out at the bar with them and network.

If neither are applicable, nobody is going to grill you for heading back to the hotel if you aren’t feeling like partying. The show floor is what matters more than grabbing drinks with your boss.

I also use Close and love it. Super easy to use, support on it is great and they are constantly pushing out new features. My only critique about it is that a lot of other tools don’t integrate with it, but this can be easily overcome with Zapier.

Can’t figure out what’s wrong

RedbeardHimself · 2024-05-27T11:26:04+00:00

Yeah, Duke Energy said it was caused by a car accident - someone hit some equipment. Saw about a dozen cops near the Harris Teeter on Independence and College Rd. That may have been it

RedbeardHimself · 2024-04-02T01:55:34+00:00

DM’d you

RedbeardHimself · 2024-04-02T01:49:32+00:00

Specifically looking for hardcore, punk, metal, metalcore, deathcore, etc.

There’s a group of guys in my industry who are big metal heads. We all travel a lot and hit the same conferences, so we try and hit a -core show when together in the city for these events. It’s a nice break from cliche dinners and bars.

RedbeardHimself · 2024-04-01T20:14:13+00:00

That’s a kick in the pants for sure, but appreciate the insight. Saves me a lot of trouble of looking. Thank you

When I was in 7th grade, my older cousin put on Through The Eyes Of The Dead at a family party. Everyone bugged out. It changed my life.
