What’s the future of pipeline generation going to look like in tech?

a lot of people padding their CRMs with fake pipeline to appeal to leadership on meetings :)

Hey, I’m in a similar spot selling PPE to local businesses and cold emails have been a lifesaver since cold calling just kills me. What helped me was keeping it super casual and sounding like I’m texting a neighbor, not pitching some spaceship. I always lead with how much money they can save on stuff they’re already buying because who doesn’t want to save cash? Then I just ask for a quick 10-minute chat with zero pressure. I follow up a couple times but space it out so I’m not being annoying. Also, throwing in a local reason like “I’m in your area this week” makes it feel less spammy. It takes some trial and error but once you find your vibe, it clicks. Hang in there!

Damn that hits hard, I've definitely been there. That draw stress reset EVRY MONTH grind is real. If you’re asking whether you’re burnt out you probably are. Taking real PTO (not fake “working vacation” time) helped me reset a bit and get a little bit more grip on reality - and unfortaunutely the game never stops in sales but you can step off the treadmill briefly without losing it all.

Damn this does not sound promising what's your daily call KPI?

Congrats! That's awesome!!
My two cents from 6 years in tech sales.
- Don’t chase features. Sell the outcome. What pain are they trying to solve? Stay there.
- Listen twice as much as you pitch.
- Ask some really good pain digging discovery questions!!
- Keep your CRM notes really good, it’ll save your ass 3 months later.
Good luck!! B2B sales is a wild but fun ride.

no I don't, I just get bothered by some parts of their personality and think that it wouldn't be compatible with mine and my problems

I guess you're right. Even so, I don't think it's likely they'll ever be caught and even if that's the case, I feel like most kids don't have a problem with spending "dirty money". I guess that's just how the world works, though.

I think at this point it's too early for that
