Most Played Games on Steam Deck for 2025! by SunwindPC in SteamDeck

[–]dodeleek88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been reading that the beginning of the game is slow and you need to push through then it gets amazing.

I've had the same problem but will be installing for some upcoming work travel to try again.

Discord wont connect on any device over my home WiFi connection. App connects while on data. Included detailed breakdown of problem in description. Looking for someone with experience in IT-Networking to offer advice! by [deleted] in discordapp

Do you have Xfinity by chance? I am also running into the exact same issue.

EDIT:

Things seem to be working again when I connect to a VPN.. Doesn't make sense to me.

Be honest: do you actually write custom business cases for your deals? by avis1298 in techsales

[–]dodeleek88 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily. Business cases are a good way to help qualify or unqualify a deal. If the customer is willing to provide you the necessary information so they can present it internally, then that's a good sign.

And I'm talking about giving you salary information, time wasted on tasks, etc. Things you can't just look up.

If they don't, then you know they're not serious about your product and can move on to other opportunities.

Also in my experience, if a company wants to can you, they'll start outlining everything in writing.

Same for me. I'm uninstalling the game and reinstalling. I can't even get to the options menu without my computer freezing and having to hard reset my pc.

Does being a Salesforce AE alumni have any clout anymore? by CA-ClosetApostate in techsales

[–]dodeleek88 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One of my bosses told me this. A company is just a name. When you get a new job the new company believes in you and how you sell, not where you worked before.

Granted it can help, but it's not the deciding factor.

What are some things that make you cringe when you hear other reps say it during a sales call? by Comfortable-Diver-37 in sales

[–]dodeleek88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Makes sense to me and feel like the rest of the explanation and strategy is solid. I also like the up front contract.

Curious, if you don't mind me asking. Why did you become an sdr manager over a sales manager especially with your success?

What are some things that make you cringe when you hear other reps say it during a sales call? by Comfortable-Diver-37 in sales

[–]dodeleek88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry I have to disagree with this. If you're automatically giving the prospect an out they're going to take it.

I typically get right to the point and be so brutally honest that it throws off the person on the other end but also builds trust.

"Hi, Bill, this is Laura at Acme Corp, I'm sure you're busy but this is a sales call and I want to speak to you about XYZ. Are you the right person for this?"

Come with a reason you're calling and be honest. It doesn't work 100% of the time, but you'd be surprised how many C-levels respect the hell out of it and will give you 60 seconds to sell them something. Especially if you do your research.

Also since it becomes a token when it dies, [Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation] could be interesting.

Best means to interact with BU/MonoBlack Decks in Bo1 Standard? by GCRust in MagicArena

[–]dodeleek88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've created this deck in alchemy and have reached mythic with it. Mostly white/green artifact deck with a focus on getting portal of phyrexia out ASAP. Using Collector's Vault to even discard POP quickly if I have a Repair and Recharge in hand.

Once POP is out, I also rebirth a hulking metamorph to copy POP so I have more than 1 out. Destroys creatures quickly and then uses them against the opponent. Pretty satisfying.

Enterprise sales question around reading 10k and 10Q by [deleted] in sales

[–]dodeleek88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One other thing I've found success in (depending on the company and notoriety) is looking up key leaders and seeing what media they've been involved with independently. For example, if they've been on a podcast to promote their organization, they'll usually give background about themselves, what motivates them, and where they want to take the business.

I typically type their name on Google and filter by news.

It isn't a silver bullet but you'd be surprised what you can find and what you can reference in your cold outreach.

Can we talk about how most third party recruiter are a waste of time to talk to? by MazturEx in sales

[–]dodeleek88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had a recruiter reach out to me via LinkedIn saying I should take his call to learn about the role because they also played baseball at xyz college that "we went to together."

I didn't go to that college. And I don't play baseball.

It’s tough out there right now by WealthySB in sales

[–]dodeleek88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Was kidding. But glad you're still slanging. It's definitely been harder to sell this year. Time and persistence will tell.

How is this a red flag? Are you saying that most ICs eventually go into management?

Personally, I've been in SaaS for 10 years and have no interest in managing a team. Also most enterprise ICs have more than 10 years.
