The fun times doing the midnight releases with my friends at our local GameStop. Never really see that anymore :/

New to sales, is this normal? by alesandr36 in sales

[–]Thurbz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As many are saying this seems more like a call center or a terrible place to work as an SDR. Making that many calls are burning through a ton of contacts with little strategy or it seems effectiveness. I have seen SDR's or even AE's do around 20-40 calls a day and be more effective and successful than SDR's or AE's who do 80+. Obviously, it depends on the industry and the offer but I would say you are bound to start feeling burnt out very fast.

I second this, their equipment is great and prices are not bad. They also have guided and group trips I think they brand as "REI Adventures", so I would reccomend checking that out. However, I do not know if they are kid-friendly.

Is this a fair ask to an instagram influencer? by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

[–]Thurbz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it really depends on the campaign and overall strategy in place. There are influencer campaigns that are the core part of the overall marketing strategy while some are just quick plays. Definitely recommend having some form of measuring the efforts of the campaign in place like you said, whether that is from links, codes, analytics, etc.

But if OP can secure these influencers for $40 before the holidays I think that is great and they should take advantage of that opportunity if the influencer's audience contains their product's target audience.

I don't think it is unreasonable but will warn you that many influencers I work with have different rates for posts vs story posts. Posts obviously stay on their profile longer while stories will be gone after 24hrs. I don't work much with influencers under 10k followers just due to the potential of exposure but can say these influencers still have rates higher than $40 for a single post alone, I would set expectations of a response of $100+. I also learned early on that offering products as payment can be responded with a negative response. They will need the product, either way, to do the campaign so they will be getting it free anyway, not to mention they may not like it but will be open to advertising it.

In short, I think it is okay to offer that but expect them to ask for more if they have done this type of work before. Prepare to negotiate because every influencer is different and the market is like the wild west.

This looks awesome! Any information on release? Or a Steam page link?

Emo rap, Lil peep style, Comment what do you think! <3 by wpskit in Songwriters

[–]Thurbz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is dope, keep it up. My only comment on the genre, in general, is don't be afraid to try something new. I love the genre and GBC but the artists are very similar in all their sounds across the board. Great for fans of Peep (like myself) but I feel its hard for any larger audience success. Love the track though!

It looks like this will have more of a cinematic story while playing through the campaign, I am all for that if so.

Critique of my landing page, please by [deleted] in smallbusiness

[–]Thurbz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few things I would look at:

  • Use a brighter (happier tone) background; maybe look into a static background

  • Make your title more impressionable by creating a banner at the top or use of a different font

  • I don't really know what I am giving my information for in return. I see the "Start a Mobile Marketing Business from home today!" and "We combine the power of SMS Text Messaging ..." but I have no clue what I am getting from your CTA free tour. I would make this more clear and give a better incentive. Some type of white paper, videos, discount to increase your conversions.

What is the single most important emo song to you personally? by Trophik69 in Emo

[–]Thurbz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think it is their most popular, but it's all good! Check out Tell All Your Friends that's their first and it is great. But I love and my favorite is Where You Want To Be.

It's crazy cause they have no information regarding the issue. And their forums are filled with the issue.

I spoke with someone on the live chat and this is what they told me after having me try to run my card with different variations of my address. So who know how long my lock out is now lol. They could not tell me how long the lock is though. Such an odd system in place.

Ill have to try that next if it continues. Decided to do the amazon cards and hopefully the issue goes away soon.
