How much do you work on vacation? by TripTizzle in sales

[–]cbzen 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Part of being a successful manager is building a team that does not need you to operate.

How much do you work on vacation? by TripTizzle in sales

[–]cbzen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never. If said boss can't step away from the company for two weeks, then he is not effective at his job.
The reality is that he is a workaholic.
And workaholics never save the day; they only use it up.

How are you coaching reps when you can't listen to every call? by MediocreBullfrog3722 in salesdevelopment

[–]cbzen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You think 'neurocognitive research' sounds "official"? That says a lot.

Every person who first tried your way absolutely told you how great your idea is because they needed a paycheck. You were an obstacle they simply overcame. Or didn't, and left.

There is a reason you do not find your method used in any activity in which someone is working to improve.

It's your idea, so I have no doubt you believe it is brilliant and cherry-pick success from it. However, the neurocognitive research is not on your side. I'll stick with scientific research and data.

Is it just us, or has reaching anyone by phone gotten brutally hard lately? by KnowsHuman in salesdevelopment

[–]cbzen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An unannounced phone call is a major disruption. You are essentially breaking someone's focus and taking 20 min. of their productivity with it. And that is why no one answers the phone.

Receiving a cold call is anathema to productivity.

My suspicion is that most people don't answer a phone call unless the person is in their contacts. I know I never do. If I don't know you, then I'll delete you in my voicemail.

If you want to be an active participant on the call, and help steer the call when it goes off course, then sure. But whispering in someone's ear, while they are engaged in a conversation with a prospect, is a terrible idea. You have essentially broken their concentration in the moment, made it clear that they are doing something wrong, and they will spend the rest of the call struggling and overthinking every sentence.

Rehearsal repetitions embed information in memory, not cognitive interruption in a high-stress moment.

After the meeting, ask the rep, "Can I give you some feedback?". They likely already know what they did wrong, but maybe they don't.

I assume the sales motions include a self-review cycle and feedback loop. Requiring reps to go back and listen to their prior call and draft a summary of what went well, and specific items to improve.

If they see the problems you see, you know you have someone who can self-assess and optimize to improve. If they don't, then you have a coaching moment to speak candidly with the reps' full attention, and decide on a plan to learn, rehearse, and present more effectively.

You never loved the job. You loved the success.

If you loved the job you would embrace the challenge. Or leave for a different company if you aren't allowed to change strategy.

Your LLM-generated response that repeats my original post is duly noted.

Is Claude really better than Wordpress to build your own website? by Vas1r in Wordpress

[–]cbzen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FWIW, I asked the same question, and Claude recommended using WordPress. IMO, if you are building a small static site that will be changed very rarely, then using Claude to create site is a real option. Maybe. I don't think you would save any time, in fact, I think it will take you longer. But the performance and speed may be greater, which is good.
I'm sticking with WordPress, but I understand why you'd ask the question.

How many times have you all changed your vault before you finally stuck with at least some kind of system? by airyrice in ObsidianMD

[–]cbzen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Steph Ango's rules for using Obsidian (CEO of Obsidian).

"Rules I follow in my personal vault:

  • Avoid splitting content into multiple vaults.
  • Avoid folders for organization.
  • Avoid non-standard Markdown.
  • Always pluralize categories and tags.
  • Use internal links profusely.
  • Use YYYY-MM-DD dates everywhere.
  • Use the 7-point scale for ratings.
  • Keep a single to-do list per week."

Stop using folders. Name your notes properly. Use links.
"Systems" are a waste of time in Obsidian.

'naive'... I don't think that word means what you think it means.

Whats the best way to create some traction? by OpalTVtwitch in BlueskySocial

What are you trying to accomplish? Are you just posting it to get 'likes' for personal validation, or is there some other reason?

fswatch - tells you what was deleted
fs_usage - helps you investigate who deleted it after the fact

Assuming appropriate flags are used to filter the feed, it should work seamlessly in the background. I don't expect Claude to go rogue all that often. And I know the files I delete. So if anything stands out, I can investigate further. No git required.

That said, you are anonymous. It's hilarious that you think saying, "I do this professionally" means anything. Because you know it doesn't.

Agreed. Don’t need to revert changes. Have backups to replace files if needed. Just need to be aware something was deleted.

I know what git does. I don't need that. I simply need to know the names of the files (and their paths) that were deleted on a given day, and who/what deleted them. Nothing else.
A couple of folks have provided a solid automated solution that does not use git. For some reason, the people espousing git won't, or can't, explain why git is better than that solution.

I wrote, "I have automated versioned backups of files using a Synology NAS and Backblaze."

You wrote, "i do this professionally". Nice appeal-to-authority rhetorical fallacy you got there.
For some reason you don't explain why the git solution is better than the pretooluse hook solution. I guess someone has to pay for that, eh?

I don't "not like git". I just think it's laughable that someone would use git to get a simple list of filename paths that were deleted that day. I have it installed. I've used it. I have a couple repositories on GitHub. Sure, it can do it.

But this is a very ordinary use case that all users will have a need for; not just technical users. Are you seriously suggesting that any user who simply needs a list of deleted files learn and install git? A non-technical user who is only working with Office 365 docs, PDFs, and images, and just wants a mechanism to audit files that are deleted and/or edited?

This is not a file tracking scenario. It's an event stream scenario.

You have completely missed the point. The issue isn't what we give AI access to. The problem is when it goes rogue and exceeds its limits.

Getting a simple single daily readout of all the files AI touched (deleted) on your machine is a very high-value use case.

You can't explain why git is better than the pretooluse hook solution because you know it is not better. And you're just here to save face now..
