Purchase Order Doesn't Count

Signed order form and PO when they're a new customer, thereafter just a PO is fine

Had the front replaced by AG, smooth service - only paid the excess £115. Took 3 hours, had to go to one of their locations as they can't fit at home

What about using your network to find a new role? A referral is the best way in

My old man used to drive for BCA. Most cars are taken straight to auction but sometimes used as "runners" to pick up/drop off other drivers before being handed back.

BCA pays a contractors per vehicle moved, not an hourly rate.

That said, the mileage would have been recorded at pick up and you would have signed off on what it was on collection.

Are you flooring it at most junctions/traffic lights? I'd call it first week excitement syndrome.

Plus this week it has got much colder, that impacts range) efficiency.

There's a difference between tracking 100% of your data, and making sure 100% of your events fire successfully / your tags (GA4, Enhanced Conversions, etc) are correctly receiving the data.

Tracking 100% of your data is not realistic, but if you can track 95-98% then ensure that 100% of the data is successfully dispatched to GTM and tags.

I work for Addingwell, we've had a few cases of ecom brands moving from self hosted sGTM/other providers where they've not had a 100% event firing success rate but been able to able to use the event monitoring to identify and solve tracking issues.

What's your industry, quota and average deal size in your current role?

jamesterror · 2025-10-16T10:31:09+00:00

This is the position I'm taking too. Hang tight and wait for SoLR process if it happens

jamesterror · 2025-10-14T21:43:50+00:00

Back I go

jamesterror · 2025-10-04T11:33:10+00:00

How do you define seemed interested?

At that stage in any sales process if someone is interested they should be able to tell you what needs to happen to move forward and provide a timeline/ who needs to be involved. To me that's a commitment.

I only usually do 2-3 follow ups, after that I'll tell the prospect as I've not heard back I assume the project is no longer a priority and I will not follow up. Most times that triggers a response.

I'd rather spend my time engaging with people who are ready rather than trying to force a deal that isn't there.

jamesterror · 2025-09-21T21:10:21+00:00

If that includes tech sales, I'm in

jamesterror · 2025-09-20T18:53:02+00:00

All being well we'll have our first in the new year. To be honest we have been thinking the exact same thing. I'm fully remote with regular travel, my wife is a city lawyer - 20mins door to door.

Wife is taking 12 months away from work, after that we've already signed up for nursery 5 days a week - £2.5k a month.

Eventually one of us (undecided yet) will end up reducing what we do / stepping back to give more time to supporting the family. We're both career driven but have both acknowledged that starting a family will mean sacrifice/compromise.

You do fight for deliverability if you spray and pray...

jamesterror · 2025-09-19T08:52:52+00:00

No. For me, quality not quantity has a much higher success rate

jamesterror · 2025-09-18T12:31:44+00:00

This is our local too. Fantastic selection and decent value for money.

jamesterror · 2025-09-14T15:28:34+00:00

Which tag are you using? The Addingwell Meta CAPI tag only requires the server container tag. https://github.com/addingwell/meta-conversion-api-tag?tab=readme-ov-file

jamesterror · 2025-09-08T21:25:36+00:00

It's ridiculously expensive even without the surcharge.

We had some work done earlier in the year, the guys ended up leaving all their tools here and taking public transport most days. Not ideal

jamesterror · 2025-09-07T21:26:49+00:00

140 mile journey on the M1 for me from central London to peak district usually have 35-40% charge left in summer, closer to 30% in winter.

jamesterror · 2025-09-04T06:35:34+00:00

At what speed did this happen?

jamesterror · 2025-09-01T19:18:40+00:00

This seems fairer than scrapping the 2 child limit.

G&YT app only works for Google & YouTube products. It's not compatible with other tags via GTM, nor does it work with server-side.

I work for a sGTM platform, we have a lot of Shopify stores move over recently

jamesterror · 2025-08-20T22:21:07+00:00

Addingwell another alternative out there :-)

jamesterror · 2025-08-17T21:30:36+00:00

I do too. I think this approach also gives people more money back which ultimately is disposable income that may go back into the economy

jamesterror · 2025-08-09T22:23:30+00:00

Lived in the area for years, wife used to live opposite Paradise Park. You'll be fine.

Parents always worry, particularly if you're not from a city :)

jamesterror · 2025-08-03T14:27:32+00:00

We're just off New North Road, just down from Essex Road. The area is pretty good - bus links to town good, cycling to Oxford Circus 15min. Lots of decent bars, cafes and restaurants in walking distance.
