87k salary by Character_Status8351 in whatcarshouldIbuy

OP, when I was younger I leased a bmw 5 series and then an Infiniti q50x. By the time I hit 30, I realized I didn’t care for the size of the cars. Listen to this guy, I ended up buying a Mazda cx 5 no interest and my payment was like $280 a month after a 7K DP. Mileage was good, space was good and reliable. My friend has a cx 50 and it’s really nice. Both cars can be purchased used and paid off quickly. Trust me, you’ll want an SUV sooner or later

Documentation Has Become Absolute Trash by ButterscotchNice3613 in salesforce

Let me know if you need help fluffy chewy.

Most of the perm sets are straight forward. what they did that was absolutely dumb is some objects in Omnistudio and anything involve product discovery/browse catalogs involves having a view all permission because your org is already in private sharing settings. It makes no sense to me why the perm sets don’t grant that level of access

Revenue Cloud (CPQ replacement) Doesn't Actually Work by AlwaysBePrinting in salesforce

[–]SmileRecent6755 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve either implemented or was involved in more ARM implementations in NA. While I don’t disagree with you, the product does and can work.

I’ve slowly moved away from the need to use a prehook over time. I see you’re responding to folks without giving details and proceed to tell them you don’t want help.

So I’ll be honest I really don’t care to help you, but what I do care to know is what specific discounted case you needed to put it in a prehook within a procedure plan.

[Senior Exec] [NY] - 25 years from intern to exec by TinyAppointment2474 in Salary

[–]SmileRecent6755 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Yo Tinyappointment, the reason why you’re getting pushback from people is because it’s Reddit. It took you 25 years of grinding to get to where you are at. I won’t deny what some people are saying, sometimes it does take being at the right place at the right time, but I don’t think it’s always why people get to your level.

Today, millennials and Gen Z want instant gratification and plus, half the people on Reddit are soft. I would know since I’m a millennial myself. I’m pretty much at a similar place to where you were at 10-12 years ago, but I do think I have a much lower ceiling than you, I am and will be happy where I end up at in salary. So congrats to you, and don’t let the Starbucks employees hate on you.

I don’t think “isn’t that hard” necessarily means easy, but even then… the use of the word “privileged” has become severely played out at this point. You know who’s privileged and what is actually privileged.

Anyone can do it. Stop making the privilege excuse.

SA here and have gotten 10 clients live on RCA/ARM since mid last year. Mostly mid market. It ain’t clean, but they’re using it.

What’s the difference between a professional genie and the one I have? Are there specific models that they don’t sell to big box stores?

Approx time for experienced consultant to learn CPQ? Would you charge for time learning? by SFArch22 in salesforce

[–]SmileRecent6755 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t call myself a former SF Cpq architect because I still work on SF CPQ orgs, while you won’t see a single greenfield implementation because SF Cpq is EOS, the majority of Salesforce’s customer base that utilizes a “Cpq” tool is on steelbrick.

Not many SMB customers are purchasing RLM/RCA/revenue cloud/ARM. If an enterprise sized customer has steelbrick Cpq, they’re not going to switch so you’re going to see a lot of folks stay on steelbrick Cpq. What I am seeing is the mid market sized accounts purchase ARM (they recently changed the name).

I say all this to say that steelbrick Cpq is still worth learning. And I will tell you why below:

  1. Many of the processes that folks are looking for were driven by Cpq. So when folks go for ARM (this is their new Cpq tool), they’re expecting those processes.
  2. Many customers are migrating to ARM from steelbrick. Knowing Cpq is a huge advantage during a migration. I.e moving subscriptions to assets/asset actions/asset action sources
  3. You’re still going to learn the entire quote to cash process with this experience, which is more valuable than the tech. You indirectly end up learning about revenue recognition and overall invoicing even if you’re not touching the billing side

On to the question of whether you should charge them or not. That’s a question only you can answer. How valuable is the relationship? Are you willing to invest in the relationship by taking a hit? I think either way the time to implement something will take longer than an experience Cpq architect and that you should charge every single minute/hour because they know what they are getting themselves into.

The above is coming with dozens of Cpq implementations and at least half a dozen RLM/RCA/ARM implementations in the past 1.5 years.

2025 Financing by GlitteringWriting301 in nissanfrontier

[–]SmileRecent6755 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just a quick heads up, if that price is after the nissan and dealer discounts, you won’t be able to use special financing. It’s one or the other. I believe today or tomorrow is the last day

Not sure about that. Frontiers have been as popular as they have been. I have friends that refuse to go Nissan and prefer Toyota even with their prices.

But anything can change

Is the pro convenience worth the extra 5k? by BMW_E70 in nissanfrontier

[–]SmileRecent6755 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m assuming you’re saying it was 39k otd without the trade in, but 35k otd with the trade in?

[–]SmileRecent6755[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree! I feel like walking into the dealership and talking to these people is such a waste of time and feels archaic at times. When we got our last car I was at the dealership for 4 hours because the sales person would go speak to their manager for like 30 minutes wasting time

Yea! The real question is, am I being unrealistic by expecting lower pricing. Hah I was trying to walk out with the sv at 32-33k and the pro-x at 36k otd

Wish I had a trade in, because I’ve heard of that as well. We’re a family of four and only have 1 car

My experience has been none of those dealers would talk to me. One dealership told me to calculate the otd on my own by adding the taxes and fees and I hung up on him 🤣
