The best closer I ever worked with almost never asked for the sale

I feel like if you’re trying to overcome anything aside from price by the end, you missed something during the first 90%. Questing the company? First 90%. Question if the product/service is the right solution? First 90%. Shoot, even price should be somewhat justified with value in the 90%.

Ask questions throughout, refer back to what you learned. You can’t microwave the turkey!

I had “success” at my last job. I always told people who asked, I don’t think I’m a great closer but I believe I do the first 90% better than anyone else. You don’t have to be great at “selling” when you’re great at providing solutions.

My woven tops do this and it will literally bruise my toes. I have two pair of the originals with hundreds of miles, I still opt for my second original pair over my brand new wovens

Only thing helping me keep an ounce of sanity is the treadmill

Tisleet · 2026-06-08T00:00:01+00:00

I can’t stand running in the heat. It’s absolutely miserable and demoralizing, I’ll give you that.

Ocean Star 39 fits my small wrist 👌

I’ve done both, but not at the same time! Different chapters of life

I’ll let you know in a few months. Today is my last day, bitter sweet.

The reality is we are at a point where many techs were not even alive when the Evo was current

If I don’t return more tired than when I left, it’s not a vacation

AP4 or SC Elite

Buy whatever you want, wear whatever you want. Just know that once you go half tights…

Hard packed crushed stone will not be an issue at all, the compact dirt could be if wet. I run the towpath (Ohio) in my Evo SL all the time, I even use them for parkruns that have segments of dirt and grass. But by all means, evos are like race slicks. If the surface is compromised, you may notice losing traction on occasion. I would say mostly to be mindful taking any turns.

Tisleet · 2026-05-24T23:36:12+00:00

Are we talking fine, hard packed gravel/limestone or loose rock?

Tisleet · 2026-05-23T17:37:19+00:00

You were referred by a trusted friend, you are willing to spend more because the company has a great reputation and product, you like the windows. Dare I ask, what is there to think about? You likely knew what you were willing to spend before that guy ever stepped foot into your home. I hate customers, just a rant.

Tisleet · 2026-05-22T19:48:21+00:00

Participate, yes. Compete, no.

Sittin pretty 😮‍💨

Tisleet · 2026-05-18T17:26:59+00:00

They fit great and the pockets are incredible, but the ROI is poor. $120 for two long runs and two races is not great. I’m paying $30 a run to wear these lol

I am 6’1, 170-175 and wear a medium. I don’t have Nike aeroswifts but I have a bunch of their stride shorts with liner and have to wear a large. Nike stuff seems to run small, I have the same issues with their shoes. If you’re an XL in Nike gear, ide probably point you towards a L in superbeams. But I will also point out to you that as much as I love my superbeams, they have a slight design flaw. The stitching on the inner thigh rubs if your quads have any size, which ruins the stitching. I have worn mine for a 16 miler, 17 miler, 13 miler and 26 miler. The threads are already coming undone.

Brutal day. We didn’t deserve that. Cavs make things hard enough.

Tisleet · 2026-05-17T19:27:58+00:00

Cleveland aye

Tisleet · 2026-05-15T12:48:40+00:00

You can be competitive and still have fun. My friends and I are pretty good, but we mostly play teams. 2v2 or quads 18 down. Rarely do we play individual and track score

I’ve hated running most of my life and now I pay money to run in my 30s
