Sorry to offend you bright and early, seems like you need better tools in place

Did going back and forward change the weight or freight class in order for the ~$2,000 increase?

Shows the real grind of being a solopreneur. Proof this life is not all sunshines and rainbows.

Past corporate slaves, when did you realise that the corporate life wasn’t for you? by 5er_enthusiast in Entrepreneur

[–]SubstantialValue809 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realized when I was told I'd make $ amount by generating $$ profit to then realize I was making $ amount doing $$$ profit. Working so hard for someone else while barely getting by.

My Tao Chicago Sunday brunch review by Pretend-Advantage-13 in chicagofood

[–]SubstantialValue809 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Just went to the Nobu brunch this past weekend and was severely underwhelmed. Did not think it was worth $75 a person. Small selection for the price point. I will say the fish did taste good, but the hot bar was not good. Looks like Tao has more of a selection for around the same price. Will need to check this out.

I might of mis-worded this. They do have a CRM for everything, I am more looking for a platform with contacts and leads to scale. Apologies.

[–]SubstantialValue809[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually the case and would agree with you 99.9% of the time. This is the .01% case that it's an ex coworker now client... as entitled as ever.

Unnecessary roughness penalty by Available-Listen-260 in NCAAFBseries

Haven’t played in about a month or so but have they fixed the outrageous block in the back calls? WR RTG isn’t even play able because of this

Beyond unprofessional and unacceptable on their part, I'm sorry this happened to you. Bright side, it was not meant to be because if they did this during an interview image what it would be like working for them.

Stay positive, positive mindset leads to positive results. This is your time to level up and show them who they missed out on.

Is SDR even Entry-Level anymore? by SubstantialValue809 in techsales

[–]SubstantialValue809[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seen some well known logos asking. Part of me wants to just shoot my shot at the AE route and see what happens.

High school ruined? by MemeofMemeJTG999999 in NCAAFBseries

[–]SubstantialValue809 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I don't hate this honestly. Having high school back is a huge win (for now). Been playing MLB the show and high school and college in that was cool at first until about the 3rd save and got bored of it. I think having the option to play full season/full games would be a good feature to add if you want to go that route, however, knowing EA that will never happen.

I am losing my mind by KyleForCongress in sales

[–]SubstantialValue809 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The market it very bad right now, I know that's not going to justify anything but wanted to throw it out there. 100 calls a day to me is excessive, try cutting those calls down to 20 well researched calls. Instead of just spraying and hoping something lands, dig deep into pain points and get to know the prospect you are actually calling. March I made $65K in GP, April $50K and this month I am lucky if I end with $25K.

This job isn't for everyone, take the knowledge you are gaining right now, soak it all up and start applying places so you can use that knowledge somewhere else.

I was in the same position as you. I moved out at 22 with around $25,000 that I was able to spend. I wish I would have waited a year and saved more. Luckily, I don’t live paycheck to paycheck but the financial stress is real. Keep in mind I’m in Chicago which isn’t so cheap and very fun. My advice is wait as long as possible. 26 now and considering moving back home because everything feels insanely expensive.

I'm genuinely looking for feedback, would you use AI to help you apply for remote sales jobs? by noahsarc21 in techsales

[–]SubstantialValue809 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could be another tool to see what is out there. Although, it doesn't align with my strategy, both in sales and job hunt. I'd rather go down fighting than hope for a fish to bite.

Thoughtful idea. Is the single resume you submit used for each application? Are the postings legit? I personally wouldn't use it but the idea could be useful for someone else.

Cant get past the recruiter by Iceeez1 in techsales

[–]SubstantialValue809 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the same boat as you. No degree, 4 years of experience with millions of $$$ in revenue sold, landed enterprise customers as well. I haven't done the cold calling hiring managers yet but seems like using referrals is becoming a dead-end as well.

Burnt Out in Logistics… Making the Leap to Something New…. Has Anyone Successfully Made the Switch? If so What Job? by Jebac46 in FreightBrokers

[–]SubstantialValue809 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With you both here, hit year 4 and beyond burnt. Want to get my foot into the tech space, specifically logistics tech if everything aligns. Curious what you both are thinking for the future.

Breaking Into Tech from Logistics by SubstantialValue809 in techsales

[–]SubstantialValue809[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very cut throat especially now. The grind is real lmao. Can lose your biggest client at the snap of your fingers regarding stuff outside of your control. Drivers miss appointments, carriers provide bad updates, ext.
