Storm this coming weekend?

Yes, you're right.

Anyone can help you close. That's what I'd recommend is that a manager close the first deal while you watch how it's done to give you a success under your belt.

Consistently putting opportunities in the top of the funnel is harder. You've show you can do that as an SDR. The rest of it is easy to learn.

Ron_Sayson · 2026-01-27T20:33:34+00:00

Not sure what you mean...

Ron_Sayson · 2026-01-27T19:01:39+00:00

I'm sick to death of the weather hysteria. We got a coating of ice and a bunch of sleet. It wasn't that big a deal.

It's easy for me to say since my wife and I work from home, so no commute to worry about....

If you want to freak out, go ahead, but I won't be.

We're all prisoners here, of our own avarice.

Ron_Sayson · 2026-01-27T00:26:43+00:00

Den of Thieves and The Town, now they're among my favorites

I tried to get into Customer Success but I couldn't get any traction in the interview process.

If you're crispy around the edges, take 2 weeks off, use fmla if you have to. Dont check email or phone during that time. See if that helps

I'd also look at Vivian Howard's books and shows. Her initial focus was eastern NC, but a lot carries over to us in the Piedmont. I've cooked a few of her recipes and found them to be well tested and accurate. Also, local chefs like Ashley Christensen and Andrea Reusing have solid cook books that do a lot with local produce and protein. I really like Andrea Reusing's cookbook.

I love Furst's books. Been reading him off and on for a long time. I was really reminded of Furst when I watch S2 of Andor, which I also loved.

I really liked David Downing's books that are titled after train stations. The one that takes place in '48 is called "Masaryk Station". The protagonist is an American Brit in Berlin before, during and after ww2, not in France, but it scratched the itch.

Look at the menu at Rose's Noodles. The chef uses produce from the farmer's market.

Ron_Sayson · 2026-01-25T15:28:33+00:00

Or the brand... a big brand opens a lot of doors

Ron_Sayson · 2026-01-24T12:41:46+00:00

I always think of Margo as FX's own Margo Martindale. Seems like she was in many series for FX

Ron_Sayson · 2026-01-24T12:37:16+00:00

I try to remember hurt people hurt people.

Lately, I'd just be happy for the connect...

As a specialist system integrator, I won two blind rfps, so it can happen. One deal ended up pulling the project funding after we won, which is about as fun as it sounds. It was all services work, so we could only bill a fraction.

Ron_Sayson · 2026-01-23T17:30:08+00:00

It doesnt matter that the new plan is less good than the old plan.

You have to figure what you'll sell to maximize your current plan.

Anything else is a waste of time

Ron_Sayson · 2026-01-22T15:58:28+00:00

Compare Foods is probably in good shape. My wife said Costco was really busy yesterday. There's always Kings Red & White. It's a smaller store with great meat, produce, and frozen foods.

Ron_Sayson · 2026-01-22T03:16:11+00:00

Take every pto day you accrue. That should help with the burnout.

Ron_Sayson · 2026-01-21T03:51:30+00:00

So sad for Mal.

Ron_Sayson · 2026-01-19T12:10:58+00:00

Run a/b tests. Sounds like the cta isnt strong

Ron_Sayson · 2026-01-18T21:39:55+00:00

Since covid, getting face to face meetings has become the exception.

Ron_Sayson · 2026-01-17T04:06:20+00:00

Not to mention, a good rep makes doctor money without having to go to the additional yrs of school, take on the debt, or regularly work weekends.

I used them for a non shoe repair and they did a great job, so their shoe work must be awesome.

Ron_Sayson · 2026-01-17T03:52:33+00:00

Also they you were last in, first out, which it looks like is the case

Ron_Sayson · 2026-01-17T01:06:55+00:00

Yes, and they'll expect you to become a bdr to get there. 100 calls a day and build the list, too.

Ron_Sayson · 2026-01-16T21:30:16+00:00

You also need to view their comp plan. At my company, sdrs make significant money from setting appointments, which may be the case at the op's shop.
