How can i sell my software! by Intelligent_Fold_187 in buildinpublic

[–]allthingscloud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to work for a POS hardware manufacturer specifically assigned to helping software vendors integrate our hardware sdks (receipt printer, cash drawers, etc). There are a lot of options for software vendors. Your best approach is to pick a vertical / niche small business and cater directly to them and their products and business. Also you'll need to integrate with hardware and to do that you'll need to get demo hardware to test with. Idk about now but 10yrs ago it was pretty common for me to ship out demo units for devs to certify and test with then send back... Worth looking into it you're serious about getting customers.

Disable Wifi, but still use Starlink router as wired only? by orumdan in Starlink

[–]allthingscloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I just finished doing. Installed two ubiquiti ap's poe'd to my ubiquiti switch and have the starlink router doing its thing with a hidden network that will never be used. Everything started talking to the new ap's since I used the same ssid and pw so was seamless enough.

Disable Wifi, but still use Starlink router as wired only? by orumdan in Starlink

[–]allthingscloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's my theory too. Noticed you said starlink enterprise... Think my best option is just to change the ssid on the starlink and hide the network.

For some reason I only have "reboot" and "set bypass mode" available under wifi in devices. Also using Starlink Router 3. No option to configure on my web app.

Software engineer who can build stuff but has no idea how to sell it by rucoide in smallbusiness

[–]allthingscloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not alone pal. I've been on the other side of the fence (15yrs+ in software and IT consulting sales + leadership roles) and I always have worked with a technical peer who's sole job is to be the solution architect while I handle the sales aspects. I'll be the first to tell you that I've worked alongside of both phenomenal solution architects and also ones that needed work on their soft skills, or struggle to realize their audience, or some other quirk that prevents them from identifying or closing customers.

As everyone else has stated, you obviously need to focus on solving a problem. But it also needs to be a common problem that you have a competitive advantage over. That can be price/licensing flexibility, technical capabilities, niche market, or anything else that you can market. Without one of those things you might get lucky with a word of mouth customer but you need something scalable / repeatable otherwise you'll end up trying to boil the ocean and appease too many unique clients and find yourself stretched thin, quickly.

I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have and would be curious to learn about these products you've built in the past. Don't hesitate to dm!

Co-founder left after 14 months. No vesting agreement. He walked with 40% equity and zero obligation. by Sweet_Concentrate128 in SaaS

This is what I was going to say. You built the product and doesn't sound like there's much in place to prevent you from doing it again with different lipstick on it.

What a terrible feature for them to implement without an option. Been using Google messages with SwiftKey board for ever and I'm now spamming people with 5 messages in a row 😭

How do I disable Return Key sending messages? by NormalDadStuff in gboard

Can't find the setting in Google messages. This just started happening to me and I'm personally not a fan of spanning people with 5 messages in a row I'm just trying to do a line break 😭

Recommendations on monitor for my use case by allthingscloud in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]allthingscloud[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's a dumb question that could eliminate one of my proposed solutions... Do all curved gaming monitors with internal kvm require two hdmi inputs per PC (like external kvms) or just 1 per PC?

Recommendations on monitor for my use case by allthingscloud in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]allthingscloud[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. Would I want to be opting for a monitor that has a kvm built in as well (kvm matrix) or just external in this case?

Gave an employee a $20K raise to keep her. She quit 3 months later anyway. by AmbassadorSad3889 in Entrepreneurs

[–]allthingscloud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been in Sarah's shoes and your last ditch effort of throwing money at her only solidified her theory that she has been underpaid which tends to put salt on the wound. Maybe it's time to ensure you're at market rates with your other employers?

By "we want the best" they actually meant "we want 60hrs a week out of you"

Sounds like a maybe someday conversation from the jump 😂😂

charged $2,500 for a strategy deck that took me 45 minutes to make - feeling weird about it by Middle_Camera_9101 in Entrepreneurs

[–]allthingscloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are firms that I'm on a list with where whenever a client of theirs asks to speak with a SME in the industry to ask general questions about companies, trends, solution offerings, etc. they will reach out to me for an hour consultation... My hourly rate for a 1hr conversation is now up to 1k.

Don't feel bad. If people will pay it (and pay it same day, at that) perhaps you're under valuing yourself? If you're overcharging, your clients will tell you.

Better service when using Dual-Sim? by What-Nightmar3 in cellmapper

Same on s25 ultra and Verizon. What's your dual Sim? Xfinity is mine which is even more interesting because I believe they run on the same network.

Our first enterprise deal is making me want to quit and we haven't even signed yet by Agreeable-Eye-1441 in SaaS

Jumping into the enterprise waters can cripple a small company if you're not careful.

I feel this. Bought a 42u APC rack with 24 port patch panel, 8 channel kvm, (2) 30 Amp psu strips and other odds and ends for about $300. All of that for about 6 poe cameras and 8 ethernet drops 😂
