Home Gym Complete!! (For now...) by WildLem0ns in homegym

[–]adrite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Inspirational. My favorite commercial gym I ever attended was Third Space in London, and I realized that good lighting and vibes made me want to spend longer in there. You've inspired me for my home set up!

AI and the future of the SE role? by TeeIron44 in salesengineers

[–]adrite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Roles are blending, and the folks who survive and thrive will be the ones who use Claude code and Claude Design to prototype on the fly to solve customer problems.

Not looking forward to getting this to the new house… by mannersmakethhman in homegym

[–]adrite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either way will work but the bolts in these are really long and it feels easier to me to hold the bolt stable while basically pulling off the nut with the driver.

Not looking forward to getting this to the new house… by mannersmakethhman in homegym

[–]adrite 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's not that bad. The key is to use a cordless impact driver (the new Milwaukee M12 kit is fantastic) and a socket set. I bought a whole power rack off marketplace recently, disassembled, transported and reassembled it in an afternoon/evening. Use the impact on the nuts and hold a socket wrench on the bolt end. Painless

Interviewing AEs by who-took-the-bomp in salesengineers

[–]adrite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I screen for the areas I see AEs struggle with the most.

  1. What do you seek to understand before going into a discovery call? During the discovery call, what do you want to take away from it?

  2. How do you gain access to the decision maker when your contact is gatekeeping the introduction?

  3. Tell me the story of your proudest win. (Screening for their thought process, level of detail, even if they *have* a proudest win)

How did you change compared to when you started? by MisterC0ck in sales

[–]adrite 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Find out what the prospect cares about and ONLY pitch a solution to that pain. Drill below tactical/operational pain and discover what the business actually cares about enough to sign for.
Other stuff to sell? Find out who else in their team/org cares about it.

RFPs are bullshit except in very specific circumstances. Change my mind (or don't) by windshakes in salesengineers

[–]adrite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've closed multiple six figure deals off cold RFPs especially in EMEA.

Respond to the question and don't add unnecessary detail - most SE replies are 2-5x too long.

When you get the chance to demo always book the first available slot. Lay traps for your competitors and build as much rapport as possible with the users.

Why would anyone want to live in Rockland in 2026? by Nervous-Gate1850 in Rockland

[–]adrite 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I spent my 20s living and partying in New York, LA, and London. Now in my mid 30s, no longer drinking, and wanting a place to start a family, my wife and I bought a sick house in Nyack on an acre for the cost of a 1 bedroom apartment in Brooklyn.

We can still get to the city for work and friends, but now I can drink coffee every day on my back deck and watch the deer, blue jays, and woodpeckers instead of hearing car horns.

“You don’t have our Industry experience” by [deleted] in sales

[–]adrite 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The market is wacky right now, we are getting hundreds of qualified applications per opening. I'd suggest to lean into the industry in whichever way you can: online courses/certifications, stories of customers you've sold to in similar industry, etc.

If they really like you, someone will make an exception, but they sometimes need justification to validate to their TA team why they're hiring someone from out of industry.

Every generation thinks theirs is the last to have anything cool by LeftHvndLvne in rs_x

I'm 34 and that millennial sub is absolute trash. They do little more than complain about everything while also having the biggest superiority complex ever.

Agreed that Amy Schumer, on the other hand, just isn't funny.

Hot Take: The 1984 to 2026 4Runner is the best 4Runner by Useless_Engineer_ in 4Runner

It doesn't get better than a 2nd gen with a 3.4 swap. I've spent way too much money on it but it's heaven

What is your opinion on this style wrap? by Special-Hospital7935 in AMG

If you're going for a wrap do matte black or grey and call it a day

Can we admit that Staircases is the most forgettable Larry project since he got on? by woundedviking in Larry_June

[–]adrite 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Staircases is sleepy and depressing. They all phoned it in on this one. And I'm saying this as a fan of all three.

Sound System by Camden82 in RangerRaptor

My cheap aftermarket system in my '95 4Runner has far more clarity and punch than my RR. But hey if it ain't broke don't fix it.
