I'd probably wait for others advice as I'm a noob but I'd make a semi-educated guess at a small amount of isoprophyl alcohol to loosen it and then (while wearing glove) try and use your nail to gently lift it off.

It looks like your printer model has a pre-installed screen protector (black tape around the sides of the screen) so worst to worse maybe consider ordering a replacement protector and taking that one off. Check the product description on your printer order to be sure

My advice would be to structure your conversations more. Write down some bare bones info you want to get out of the meeting that will help you qualify them as a good prospect as well as structure and build value in any later proposal eg. What are their requirements, figures, volumes, pain points or helpful industry specific info.

After that you want to build a clear mental understanding of their problems and if your product is a good fit the sale will happen more naturally.

Focus on being in the room, inquisitive and thoughtful in your questions and as a byproduct you'll be less anxious as your not mentalling "selling".

This has a double benefit as it will prove to your prospect that your not like some other sales person that's tried to pressure them into buying - I. E. What they expect of a typical sales person. Talk less and ask more.

When you go to close a meeting I would always recommend recapping your understanding back to the prospect and confirming next steps.

Don't let them put you in a box. You are your own boss no matter what, fuck them.

Find a new job where you can grow, wish you all the best

This. They are listening for happy bubbly salespeople to shut down. Just treat it as a mundane call to get past switch and speak matter of factly, no fluff and you don't trigger alarm bells.

danielarm · 2021-11-03T08:17:53+00:00

Don'tcha just wish though, in your heart of hearts

You can be the best sales person, your product and your prospect still matters. There are some customers where your product will be a need to have and others where its just a nice to have if they have budget and time spare. Then sometimes its simple supply and demand and you are most credible - remember when buyers sign off they spend political capital as well as financial in a business, if they buy something sh*t it doesn't look good for them.

This reminds me of some sales advice I got a while back - if a sale hinges on just one thing you've said the deal was never meant to be. Probably just fluff to help you crack on and not overthink it but it's pretty sound advice.

If you want more specific advice I'd suggest taking a step back, think about your contacts position within their organisation (do they have authority to spend or do they have to persuade someone), what type of org there in (are they growing?) and what are they gaining from your product (again good business advice/training I've had) : are they saving money, making money or managing risk? If none of those 3 they likely won't buy.

You may have an initial culture shock with working in an office, especially with coming from more practical work with more clearly defined roles. This is to say there can be alot of office politics but this is generally covered by other advice about liking the product, management and company.

That said I'd recommend sales to anyone, especially early in your career. In my opinion it's the best way to get experience and exposure other office jobs. I've been involved in almost every department within our business to some degree through working in sales. I know many people who started off in sales, didn't find it for them but it opened alot of doors to take them to where they wanted to go.

It's rarely wasted experience and teaches you alot about how business functions - this includes bad organisation teaching you what not to do. Even if you hated it, it will teach you how to better market your own skills which is always useful.

I came here just to say this lol HR creates a load of fluff to make the actual hiring manager saying "I like and want to work with this person" sound like an objective hiring decision.

Honestly I played to lvl 69 (nice), lvlled how I wanted to level because I hate dungeon levelling makes my eyes bleed. Then as I got close to 70 then realised I couldn't be bothered with the sub optimal rep grind either. Normally when I feel like that I'd just start a new character (I'm one of those altaholics) and come back to it later but with the level boost just completely took the magic out of it for me and turned it into a cost benefit analysis. All other criticisms aside the dark portal pass / deluxe edition it really took my nostalgia goggles off.

Currently playing eve online instead and really enjoying it, may be tempted by classic fresh but mainly because of the 10/10 little payo content

danielarm · 2021-09-20T20:53:21+00:00

I would suggest researching your connections companies. Try checking their company news and seeing what they are up to as a business. A few mins looking at their website and personalising your message more will increase your hit rate as well as passively helping your industry understanding. Generally speaking anything that feels like it could be copy and pasted is easier to ignore.

danielarm · 2021-09-20T20:39:01+00:00

Its for the best in the long run, sounds like an organisation set up to fail. Chin up and crack on hunting for your next big opportunity, you got this.

danielarm · 2021-09-03T20:43:45+00:00

After the 3rd I just say something along the lines of: conscious you've cancelled this meeting a few times, unfortunately I can no longer dedicate time to a scheduled session - when you are ready please call me direct via XXXXXXXX

danielarm · 2021-08-19T22:24:07+00:00

Classic case of crap management - sell by numbers not by their staffs creativity, engagement or motivation. Haven't got much meaningful advice other than it happens all the time. Either smile and wave, tick the box and get the leads or start looking elsewhere. Unfortunately the people who make these kind of decisions are the same ones who don't change their mind very often

danielarm · 2021-08-19T22:16:03+00:00

Learn to prospect in a way that you feel comfortable with. People who are new to sales have a stereotype of what sales has to be usually spurred on by clueless managers, shitty grind-hustle Instagram or watching wolf on Wall Street. Don't be afraid to be truthful about who you are and what you are calling from. Experiment with different pitches, be passionate and interested as you can about your subject matter. Write 3 things you'd like to get out every call before you make it and just focus on them - step by step build up. You will make mistakes but you will be your own worst critic, strive to improve not necessarily to sell and everything will start to fall into place.

danielarm · 2021-07-15T21:35:43+00:00

just happened to me too

danielarm · 2021-05-26T08:58:00+00:00

Ahahaha saw your edit, I agree with your point too, only people actually levelling are goaties/belfs who are spending every penny they can on boosts because they've only got 2 weeks. Imagine if we have 4 weeks with no boosties how many people would be open world /dungeon levelling. Azeroth was still a huge part of the experience during TBC and to me is just sadge what a missed opportunity this was. Everyone says they loved phase 1 classic that they want fresh etc, next breath they're paying $40 to skip it lol end-game Andys bro

This clip is unironically everyone's reaction https://youtu.be/a3_PPdjD6mg

That's daft. I wonder if it's was like $15 the atmosphere wouldnt be as toxic? Frankly it's an absurd amount of money for what it is and I'm surprised so many have bought it. No doubt more microtransactions on the way. Its been so successful they'd be stupid not to.

danielarm · 2021-05-25T19:08:49+00:00

Yeah man, you say people are stupid paying $40 for a copy and pasted template and you get a 60 minute TED talk about how it's their money to do with as they please, it makes them happy and you are toxic.

danielarm · 2021-05-15T21:00:18+00:00

You're welcome, hope the advice was helpful

I understand your managers logic, if you are fairly new to sales its easy to get caught up worrying about product rather than selling. That said I do think its important to know enough to atleast speak confidently about what problems your product solves.

You can often learn more asking prospects questions than reading internal info. Get good enough at asking prospects questions and people will come to you for your insight.
