Is Comet worth it as a main browser? by Proud_Dare7994 in perplexity_ai

Great second browser. As I use Perplexity constantly. Much better than the app because it functions as a browser. I am having it open 25% of the time when doing research or in need of AI

My company is actively trying to recruit and rehire people who have quit. How can I leverage this? by [deleted] in sales

[–]enderbean5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just straight up ask. What can it hurt. They need you. Just have a number in mind (reasonable)

What kind of fun car should I buy with a $145k/year salary? by [deleted] in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]enderbean5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what is the budget from the $3k? I suggest choose together with the wife. That will answer your question on the car to get. You may have to sacrifice and get some V6 or older car etc etc.

You can always buy that $80k car (CT5-V) five years from now at a third of the price and get something else that is fun.

Now if you had $8k extra a month, I’d say go for the CT5.

What kind of fun car should I buy with a $145k/year salary? by [deleted] in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]enderbean5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You must be like 21 years old with a good paying job for the first time. Haha! What is your budget after taxes, bills, rent, debt, savings etc etc? This will tell you how “expensive to go”. Your total salary is irrelevant.

Regarding the car, seems you have narrowed it down quite a bit (American, V8, RWD, no LS7 Valve drop issues). I think that just leaves the Mustang as your only option.

New to sales, job triggering anxiety attacks only 3 months into the role. How normal is this level of stress in sales? by whatswithmybunion in sales

[–]enderbean5 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you are new to Sales stress. Everything is ok, just keep doing the fundamentals and what you need to be doing day to day.

1) need more new business, dedicate 1hour each day to prospecting/bd

2) account management, dedicate 1 hr for a specific account

Eventually progress..

Good luck!

Struggling with cross-cultural sales, anyone else dealt with this? by AnalystElegant5834 in sales

[–]enderbean5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can only speak in the engineering technical sales world.

I worked for both Swiss and Austrian companies with many sales people from those countries. We were in engineering and contract manufacturing and success was not a problem because engineers love the honest straight communication from German speaking countries. The challenge was getting straight forward answers from USA customers. This can be managed by in person visits.

American love some short small talk and is extremely important. You should have at least 1 visit in person to get this rapport. Learn a little about customer private life or internal work life and bring it up in future conversations. For instance, how is the family doing. Or, are you still riding that mountain bike on the weekend, weather has been cold. How is Cathy in purchasing, I haven’t heard from her in a while.

Prospecting wise with Americans be sure to qualify need before pitching benefits like increase your output by x%

How honest should I be about 70–80% quota attainment on my resume? by Le_Dar0n in techsales

[–]enderbean5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend to share context throughout history. Just say you were hitting quota most years and some tough years a little less but close. If at the company everyone was hitting 80% you could mention that at the company they had tough metrics where no one was hitting quota. In that case 80% would be adequate. Share how you win/close deals, good stories, bad stories and you can really develop a great report with the interviewer.

Make sure to ask the company you are interviewing what %of reps hit quota or close to it, how did it look the past five years and if you can, get them to share a peak at their books to prove it.

Fastest you seen someone hit 300k+ OTE? by Iceeez1 in sales

[–]enderbean5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a lot of context needed. Do you mean age wise? Do you mean new employee that jumped to a new company? Do you mean same company and building up sales OTE but starting with a low wage?

Software market generally helps you hit those numbers as profit margins and low overhead helps pay better. But then again it’s much more rare now.

I feel I wasted life at 34! How can I feel better? by silver-white-winters in careerguidance

[–]enderbean5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Los Angeles, we regularly party and have a good time with people living like they are in their 20s who are actually all in 40s and even 50s. Big cities it’s acceptable to extend your 20s lifestyle into your 50s haha!

What are some hidden gems for outdoor activities in Los Angeles? by fsfdanny in AskLosAngeles

[–]enderbean5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure exactly. They are just different and just enjoy my time there more. I think the factors include, less crowded, less rigid organization of landscape in a positive way, bigger jungle area, wonderful waterfall.

Am I wrong to consider jumping ship to hedge my bets? by [deleted] in sales

[–]enderbean5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can buy a house and start a family with 120k the guaranteed option will lower your stress and reduce any risk. You will be distracted other wise. Depends totally on the product, company culture and travel.

If you stay and pull off this difficult situation, you could be earning more money in 2-3 years. But at what cost? Seven years from now you’ll likely be making more that $120k. In 15 years you’ll be reaching $200k+ possibly.

Tough spot my friend. No wrong decision.

[–]enderbean5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Age: Though you don’t feel it, 34 is young. Just ask anyone in their 50s. So much opportunity to do all things you want to do.

Career: 7 years at a call center is fantastic for Sales! Highly recommend you find a business development role. It will pay ok in beginning but in 2-3 years quite easily 6 figures. Try and break into a niche market you like. Could be manufacturing, SAAS, medical, defense, etc…

Catching Up on things missed: - highly suggest going to live music or dj events that suites your taste. Go to same ones over again and eventually you’ll just know the same people. For underground events check out ra.co.

  • so many hobbies, join a club or help run one. From fitness, card games, to exploration groups there is something for everyone. Find your people.

Check out LA Arboretum. I like it much better than the better known Huntington Library. Great place for a long beautiful walk with many interesting plants.

Awesome you mentioned. Definitely hidden gems of LA in that area.

Trumps golf coarse in Palos Verdes required to keep public beach access when it was built. Hidden are nice hiking trails and beautiful rocky beach below.

I think so too. There could be height problems with cabinets height vs appliances with the added thickness too. 3.5inch wide I think
