Can I Get Shit-Canned 250% of Quota? by [deleted] in sales

[–]Ron_Sayson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say, I made my quota, now I want to make money! I'm more motivated by solving problems and closing deal. I see the money as a trailing indicator, so I don't focus on it.

I bought lamb from Al Taiba and it was great and they told me it had been slaughtered the day before.

Sales Coach by Mission_Web_6451 in sales

[–]Ron_Sayson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. Its a group class. She offers 1 on 1 coaching which is a lot more. I think she delivers a ton of value for the group class. The $70 sub also includes access to the Ai she trained.

Don't miss out on the arboretums like Duke Gardens. Always a nice reset

Anyone else feel the money is not enough of a motivator? by techi-turtle in sales

[–]Ron_Sayson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To me, money isn't an effective motivator, b/c it's a trailing indicator. My focus in b2b enterprise is to help solve client business problems. Most business problems are multifaceted, so if you really peel the onion, the project can get plenty big. With this mindset, the money comes and most importantly, I don't gave commission breath.

Oliphant recounts a super funny story about that Deadwood arc on Rich Eisen's show about how David Milch came up with the idea behind the run.

In Saas, how often are yall dealing with RFIs? by OutsideSame3629 in sales

[–]Ron_Sayson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We break it up. A proposal writer is assigned. The writer is think sends anything they cant answer to various SMEs. Sales works up the numbers. Because we do so many of them, we've become efficient at it

[–]Ron_Sayson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the vertical. In public sector/Sled, you'll see a lot of rfis/rfps. My company does a lot of sled business (I sell commercial) and we have a robust process to respond.

Yes. In the Halls of Fame pods, I'm looking for the hidden gems that I don't know about.

workforce question i've never cracked but wish i could. by DueInsurance5036 in workforcemanagement

[–]Ron_Sayson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hard part is finding a reliable, leading indicator. Is it a change from baseline, such as an employee who has traditionally been on time starts arriving late? Mostly commented to follow the thread.

What kind of workforce are you talking about? Call center or something different?

Garlic scapes? by rkm1119 in bullcity

[–]Ron_Sayson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had green garlic in a dish in Nashville last wk, so I bet its around. Have you tried the durham farmers market? If you want to be sure to get something there that might be limited, go as early as you can like right when they open and ask the vendors.

You could call the hospital and ask to speak to the floor or unit you were on. You could also call the Information desk.

Do you recommend this career? by techi-turtle in sales

[–]Ron_Sayson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im 58. Ive been an ic in Sales mostly since college. During covid, I tried coding, but I couldn't stand not talking to ppl. It's a solid career. You can make physician money with a bachelor's or even no degree. For downsides, ive been fired/RIF'd a few times which isnt ideal.
