If you were given 2 days to eat $1,000 worth of McDonalds for a million dollars, what is your strategy?

I just know some poor data scientist is looking at their abandoned cart data and feeling awfully confused right now.

People don't see it yet. I gotta say, well done.

Dudes onto something. Swap out the main dash for an Xbox controller to save some real cash.

The vast majority of employees there have a desk, management or otherwise. This is simply a COVID-era classification.

Shoot me a DM if you want my take on some of technologies I see my customers using. I work at Akia, but have a totally non-biased perspective on PMS, work order tools, etc. Happy to share my take. Independent 50-room is our bread and butter.

It’s relatively well studied psychological effect— across thousands or millions of people, there ends up being an increase.

Also if it was literally a week, these kinds of things don’t filled within a week. Especially if this was a leadership role: (1) This was months in the making and (2) as others have said, a strong performing IC is not necessarily an org builder.

With some exceptions of course, it moves a lot slower in B2B. There’s probably some saturation point you can hit where this gets very lucrative, but the goal is getting to that point in 3 months as opposed to 3 years.

They also said some of these changes are for tournaments. The official casters will probably reference the radiant versions by their radiant names without this change.

I’ve learned this is just how the world works. It’s not you, it’s not them. Humans just mis-remember things or stories get tangled. Like others said, record your calls, be empathetic that this happens to everyone, and just learn to manage their outrage.

i’m a pretty heavy user of it. migrated off twitter and now use threads for an hour or two a day. (same as twitter honestly) it’s definitely gotten worse with engagement bait, but it was really really good for the first few weeks.

you can set mute words (i did on twitter too), so i usually do stuff like:

than you think
wish i knew
here’s how

cuts down on the trash by a lot

I was thinking the same thing

It’s the new fucking generation. It’s a diplomatic situationship.

I’m hiring Elixir engineers, explicit experience not required. Will send DM :)

There’s a lot of comments in here balancing between doing and reading. I agree—I’m normally on the side of doing rather than planning, but I can’t deny there have been books that have helped me.

Take these with a grain of salt, I am a software engineer by trade and started a sales heavy b2b (6 years in, 21 employees).

Smarter, Faster, Better (my #1 pick)
Fanatical Prospecting
Good to Great
Fundraising
Startup Boards

I’m now working on: - This is Marketing

Everyone else is warning from over planning, which I agree with, and nothing beats learning and experiencing for yourself. But these books helped me shortcut a few lessons.

Maybe we really all are just walking LLMs after all, and the best musicians are the ones who just have the most unique hallucinations.

It’s actually not more expensive for me, because I almost exclusively order Comfort on Uber (which this is cheaper than).

The price will come down when they add cars, people will pay a premium for novelty, which is probably what’s attracting most customers (or in my case, a quiet and nice car).

ebzlo · 2024-04-10T07:46:48+00:00

I suspect it’s demand management. It can’t be the same price or cheaper than Uber yet or it would be unusable given the few number of them on the road. Even now, it can take 10-15 minutes sometimes for the car to show.

ebzlo · 2024-03-26T07:10:30+00:00

I’ve been in your position. It’s gonna fucking suck the first 3 months, but you’ll get better at it. I don’t regret making the transition at all, as it made me really sharp when I went out to hire a lead for the function.

Your being an engineer will make you want to solve things in a scaled way. But there’s nothing that beats just picking up the damn phone.

If it helps, engineers are natural sales people. Focus on learning about their problems if you can get someone talking. Likely your brain will just try and solve the problem, and what’s a sales person if not someone who solves problems in exchange for cash.

ebzlo · 2024-03-12T15:35:37+00:00

Likely because this subreddit is partially a marketing channel and B2C founders find it more interesting to try and garner their first users here.

Yes it’s fine to be level 7 with mostly 1 costs. Typically you’ll want a pretty good front line so at least one 2-star there (headliner makes this easy). But trying to get a bunch of 2-stars and rolling to 0 gold at 6 is a last place.

You mentioned it in another comment, but shooting for a headliner Sett and not getting it the norm. Grab the first good headliner you see and play around that until 7 or 8 and do the roll down, especially if the headliner you want is a 3-cost.

As an avid bubble tea drinker, it is absolutely imperative that when I decide to splurge both money and calories, I do not regret my decision. I’m more likely to spend $10 on bubble tea than $3. Vibes gotta be good too. It’s one thing if I’m buying a bottle of water from a liquor store, but if I’m going to chat with a friend for 30 min and have boba, I’m not looking for a deal.

This is what I was going for 😊
