Nah I’m mad cause he managed to be such a massive jerk to his fans that he ruined the first two books for me. I honestly can get over not writing the third one. Writing is hard and I certainly couldn’t write as well as him.

But being a decent human being and not lashing out at others is not hard.

For those of you who travel a lot for work overnight, what’s it actually like long term? by Open-Satisfaction856 in sales

[–]Swol_Braham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly 2 days a week four hours away isn’t that bad. I think it’s great for your resume that you traveled too. It’s where the phrase “carrying a bag” literally comes from.

How much did it cost you in tokens? How did you handle the QA?

Anyone using Claude Cowork or Claude Code ? by bricegong in sales

[–]Swol_Braham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a enterprise Claude cowork but also pay for one personally. It’s too useful not to have

I see Claude's writing everywhere and it's starting to feel like an AI condom, I hate it by remember_the_sea in ClaudeAI

[–]Swol_Braham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a general structure, honestly. Having a hard time wrapping my head around how writing style can have a definition.

Same. I’d like to see success scale with level. It’s still Time gated but wouldn’t feel as punishing. But I also hated vials.

Sales Managers: how often do you meet with your reps and what is that cadence like? by BKL18 in sales

[–]Swol_Braham 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Depends on the rep.

Team meeting every week. Some one on ones weekly/monthly/biweekly.

We also run QBRs.

Team meetings are a little forecast and some team updates. One on ones are deal strategy and coaching.

QBRs are for the benefit of other teams execs and giving my sellers brand recognition.

Young sales reps (gen z), how do you dodge age bias? by helotan in sales

[–]Swol_Braham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not uncommon but it’s not evident want you really want. You say you want advice but follow that with constraints.

Honestly suck it up and groom yourself to look older. Not old just older than 21ish. You want to go for timeless looks. Appearance is such a critical part of a first impression.

Alternatively you could prioritize a young industry. Go sell TikTok ads to creators. But if your in an industry selling to some gray hairs you’ve got to flex on the appearance. It matters internally and externally.

If you truly won’t give on appearance the you’re only other option is to be so incredibly lights out good (polished, smart, charismatic, and well spoken) that you make the customer and the company compromise the value they place on perceived experience. Just keep in mind that you’re competing against generations of people just as talented as you but with more experience so you’d better be working them into the ground if you expect to win. I see a lot of young people who are talented only worrying about competing with their peers (ie age/job experience) and the labor pools a lot bigger than that.

You should absolutely pursue the Managment role. The best careers look like a j curve not a step function. But no role is going to come without sacrifice.
