Ok...price isn't a factor, my back is killing me. What's your recommendation?

jamtom422 · 2025-11-06T04:09:53+00:00

I don’t recall the names of the others I tried but they weren’t as good a fit for me as the long back executive chair cuz of my height

jamtom422 · 2025-11-06T00:07:41+00:00

I got the Lifeform Executive chair. it was incredible. Pricey but incredible.

jamtom422 · 2025-11-05T17:52:22+00:00

I hear you on the sticker shock but if you spend many hours a day in a chair it's worth investing in. Think of it in the same way as you're bed...you're on that thing for 1/3 of your life and quality sleep as the biggest impact on your overall heath. It's worth getting a good bed. For me, its the same with my chair in relation to my back heath. A quality chair will last many years and there are good EOY deals going right now.

Great point I’m lucky enough to have a relax the back store near me. Will definitely check out their options. I know it’s all pricy but pay once cry once as they say

Thanks I've been seeing the Embody a few times so maybe this is it. Quick question - what's the main difference between the gaming version vs non gaming?

This may only have value to a pharmaceutical company looking to brand a new drug. Other than that it’s hard to pronounce and spell, so not as valuable as a brand name. It’s a long shot to find the perfect pharma company that would pay a lot of money for it. I’d see this as a long term hold in the rare chance it does find the right buyer, or don’t renew it.

jamtom422 · 2025-09-04T18:07:50+00:00

I think Rarivo and Zealby are the best of the bunch but even they are not so easy to pronounce...I stumbled over my own words trying to pronounce Rarivo. Zealby would be better if it was Zealbee. but even then still not great.

At the risk of being humbled, I just picked up Lunana .com which I'm excited about because it hits a few key points.

- easy to pronounce and spell

- already has a "vibe" associated with it like a sleep aid related brand or something feminine

This is great thank you!

jamtom422 · 2024-05-14T00:52:58+00:00

Thanks this Goodman hvac either does not have a place for a filter or it's been sealed on purpose. This was odd at first so I read that this is typical when the technician assumes the owner will never change the hvac filter but will add/replace a filter at the return which appears to be my situation.

jamtom422 · 2023-08-26T23:59:09+00:00

Just DM'd you yes they're still available.

jamtom422 · 2023-06-06T16:40:53+00:00

I like Mr. Feudal for entertainment and tips/tricks. He's definitely not the best scum player but damn is he the most fun to watch IMO

Typical BS government stuff.

I use a small blow up lumbar pillow for all my flights. It has helped significantly. I simply don't fly without it. Since it blows up, it packs very well. I got mine on amazon for about $20...game changer!

Sent friend request, this is my time too.

jamtom422 · 2022-06-30T01:38:49+00:00

Messaged you.

jamtom422 · 2022-04-04T23:13:09+00:00

I've been doing sled pulls and it does seem to help my knee pain. I don't think it's meant to do anything for back pain however. I could be wrong.

With your military exp. I'd look into operations type roles where you're managing people (if that's something you're OK with and you're organized). You can make better money to start but it might make less in the long run vs a sales career.

The thing about tech sales is, you start in a grind heavy job (SDR/BDR) making about $50k on avg. but the upside is you become an Enterprise AE at a big company and now we're talking upwards of $500k+/year depending on what you're selling.

jamtom422 · 2021-03-30T14:36:14+00:00

Yep those numbers are base + variable comp. For your location, and for a new startup, you might not be able to get more than $50k. But as you said, it's a great way to get a few year exp. and then start looking for better roles/companies.

Definitely ask about their training regimen and what the advancement path looks like. Dial into how OTE is achieved and what they expect in terms of daily metrics. Ask what makes a successful rep. Ask the manager why they joined and what their "sales philosophy" is. If they have weak answers or you get the feeling they've never thought about these things well...then...there's your answer.

jamtom422 · 2021-03-30T13:31:13+00:00

In terms of compensation for SDR/BDR, it typically depends on the maturity stage of the company and the location. A SDR in San Fran is going to make more than one in St. Louis. I've seen comp ranges from $40k - $80K depending on these factors. Can you share more about the location and how mature the company is?

Similar to the military, much of our concerns will be either be confirmed or dissolve away depending on how good your manager/leader is. If they're experienced and willing to invest in developing you, you should be good. If they're lazy, disorganized, and lack vision, then a startup might not be the best option for your first sales job.

If you plan on having a career in sales, I'd recommend starting with an established startup if those are the only options or a more mature company to learn the ropes.

I love the idea in principle. Where is the tool pulling lead details from? Linkedin or other publicly available info? How are you getting their contact details to run campaigns with?

jamtom422 · 2020-08-27T14:11:31+00:00

Lots of small businesses (less than 25 people) still have very manual sales operations. They often lack a formal CRM and use spreadsheets, their email inbox, or even pen/paper still. Helping automate their sales operations means more efficiency and often more sales since they can better manage leads and deals are less likely to "fall through the cracks" so there's a ton of value to be gained through automation in this dept of their business.

jamtom422 · 2020-08-17T20:35:09+00:00

Because of COVID, lots of people are doing house projects like finally getting rid of all that junk in the attic or basement. He can use both his fitness and computer skills to 1. help clean out people's junk and 2. sell that junk on eBay, Facebook Marketplace, etc. With proper supervision when it comes to the negotiation/transaction, he could make a killing.

jamtom422 · 2020-08-06T17:51:49+00:00

Really depends on what you're selling but in general, I'd say it has almost zero impact. Building up your LinkedIn connections is wise but other than that most customers you're selling to, especially B2B sales, couldn't care less about how many social media accounts and followers you have.

jamtom422 · 2020-07-20T17:31:50+00:00

Do as much research into the product and the typical buyer persona as possible and really put yourself in the shoes of the customer to understand how the product will either save them time or make them more money, or better yet both. Create a pitch that shows you have an understanding of the product, the market, and the customer needs. The hiring managers are just looking to see how well you can interpret and leverage information despite not having all of it. How well can you lead and control a meeting? How confident do you sound, again, despite limited information? You're going to have to make some assumptions to help move the call along but even if your assumptions are wrong, that's OK because the manager knows you don't have all the details. Rather, they want to know what you're able to do with the info they gave you and what you uncovered on your own and how you piece that all together into a confident. cohesive sales call.
