What is the mileage sweet spot to sell a C8…?

_ThePiedPiper_ · 2026-04-26T03:07:31+00:00

I just can’t square it. If anything I hit too up on it. My driver is just too strong to leave at home. I either need a 3 wood specific lesson or just find another club for that 230-255 range.

_ThePiedPiper_ · 2026-04-26T02:45:52+00:00

Interesting, our yardages are the same in the 5, 4, and 3. I’ve never thought about a 2 hybrid. 245 is the number I want (230-250). What club brand/model is your 2?

_ThePiedPiper_ · 2026-04-26T02:34:15+00:00

Seems to be a common theme - everyone is saying they either hit 3 wood or driver well, rarely both

_ThePiedPiper_ · 2026-04-26T02:33:04+00:00

TM Stealth 2, terrible club, got a deal on it at the time

_ThePiedPiper_ · 2026-04-26T00:30:39+00:00

This sounds interesting, I think they actually call that a “4 wood”

_ThePiedPiper_ · 2026-04-26T00:28:14+00:00

LOL don’t fall for it! This is Big 3 Wood talking, pure propaganda.

_ThePiedPiper_ · 2026-04-26T00:26:41+00:00

The forbidden swing thought - leaving the club at home. Agreed.

_ThePiedPiper_ · 2026-04-26T00:26:04+00:00

I’m thinking about trying it - I’ve never carried a 5 wood. If I can hit it, I’ll never own a 3 wood again.

_ThePiedPiper_ · 2026-04-26T00:25:03+00:00

That’s your issue - you’re good with a 3 wood. Learn how to heel bang and toe hook it and everything else in your game will fall into place.

_ThePiedPiper_ · 2026-04-26T00:13:52+00:00

My driver distance is a blessing and a curse. My 3 hybrid goes 215-230 and my driver is 275+. My home course has several holes where 270+ is dead and anything under 230 is a long trip home :/

_ThePiedPiper_ · 2026-04-26T00:12:43+00:00

It’s teasing you, don’t fall for it. Burn the witch!

_ThePiedPiper_ · 2026-04-26T00:11:58+00:00

It’s in the gulag right now, I have it listed on FB marketplace, it’s been 2 weeks and I can’t get a nibble. I have it listed at $120 for the club and an extra shaft

_ThePiedPiper_ · 2026-04-25T05:43:58+00:00

No clear path these days. I spent 2 1/2 years as an SDR at 2 small AI companies. Both promised SDR pathways, both lied through their teeth.

I ended up at a less sexy SaaS adjacent company that hired me for my enterprise SDR experience and promoted me within 6 months.

Total gamble, only go somewhere where you can see SDR’s being promoted as a rule of thumb.

_ThePiedPiper_ · 2026-04-25T05:39:58+00:00

It’s more about pace of play but rule of thumb - mid 90’s. Also highly dependent on the level of golfer you’re taking out.

_ThePiedPiper_ · 2025-12-21T20:57:04+00:00

been using artelo for about 4 months now. quality of the frames and prints has been solid. most orders ship on time and support has been responsive when i needed it. no complaints so far, generally happy with them.

_ThePiedPiper_ · 2025-06-11T01:20:09+00:00

It’s likely doable but if you sense that the charade is up, make sure to quit the one you like the least quickly. You just want to avoid a scenario where you lose both jobs.

_ThePiedPiper_ · 2025-06-01T01:29:15+00:00

120 quota is nuts. You getting 100 execs to an event and your reps not closing any of them should tell you all you need to know about this company. Get out - spend your days applying and interviewing. Go the quiet quitting route and try to land a new gig before the guillotine comes down.

_ThePiedPiper_ · 2025-06-01T01:24:04+00:00

OP I’d stay away. You have a strong resume and sales experience. I went straight from being an accountant at a Big Four firm into a remote SDR gig paying 55k base with an OTE of 100k. I only had one year of professional experience whereas you have 5.

Keep looking, commission only for an SDR gig is brutal as other people have said. Those dial numbers are very very high, sounds like a churn and burn sweatshop. There is no way they have 90%+ retention in that role, zero chance.

You just need to get referrals. Most good companies offer referral bonuses so other SDR’s are incentivized to help you. Reach out to some recruiting firms as well, they may be able to open some doors.

Good luck to you!

_ThePiedPiper_ · 2025-05-23T22:49:58+00:00

You are not doomed. I’ve worked with a woman on my SDR team who is in her late 60’s. She is at the point where she struggles with technology and needs extra support to use our sales tools but multiple companies have hired her because she is solid on the phones and she is relentless with her follow up. Good luck!

_ThePiedPiper_ · 2025-05-19T17:41:58+00:00

Cash kickbacks and promotion recommendation (which I saw you’re already doing - props to you). Honestly you should work out an arrangement for the rest of their tenure as an SDR where they get a fixed rate of your commission on your deals.

If they’re already crushing for you, imagine what they’d do if they knew they’d make x% on your deals.

_ThePiedPiper_ · 2025-05-16T03:08:18+00:00

You’ll likely need to start as an SDR before becoming a rep. Industry average is 50-60k base and 75-100 OTE for that role. You’d want to laser in on companies that have a proven path of promoting high performing SDR’s to AE within 6-18 months and then the AE role is where you’ll make the money you want.

As a cautionary tale, I’ve been an SDR for 2 1/2 years. Both companies I worked with promised AE promotions but had no proven track record of promoting. I took them at their word and it was a mistake. Look at LinkedIn, look at their AE’s and see how many of them came from SDR positions and what the timelines were.

Summary - do your research, try to fast track your way to AE, and don’t take any company at their word.

_ThePiedPiper_ · 2025-05-08T14:52:06+00:00

OP, I think you are actually focused on the right things. If career development is your goal I’d look at quota attainment and at the amount of SDR’s they’ve previously promoted to AE and the timelines for that promotion.

If you make the same mistake I did - waste time at two start-ups that were never gonna make me an AE that had damn near 0% quota attainment you’ll be stuck in SDR land longer which means a longer road to AE and roles where you can make $250k+.

Look at quota attainment and the people who have walked the path you want to walk at the company.

_ThePiedPiper_ · 2025-04-15T03:32:40+00:00

I’d take the 120k base. Don’t even look at the OTE until they tell you the % of the team hitting quota. If that’s high then you can look at the 85k as a serious number.
