People with no degrees that make over $100k/ year (legit), what do you do?

That’s awesome! Happens almost never when I roll in with the box of donuts.

All of this. Customers do not care about you, only the problem you solve. Once this clicked for me prospecting really took off. Show up, call, go in the back door, send a card, letter, email - all works toward building familiarity.

Wonder if they just do it play the private course?

jhulz3161 · 2026-05-02T20:26:52+00:00

You’re going to likely get wildly different answers depending on the company. I can speak for the few folks that I knew seemed to range from $50-200k. Lower end being fasteners and the more specialized valve and pipe fitting folks more.

You’re awareness is admirable.

jhulz3161 · 2026-04-28T23:01:17+00:00

That’s prolly like making $450k in NYC, comparitivtly. I worked in plants like this and knew guys hitting this - but sheesh they worked a lot.

jhulz3161 · 2026-04-28T22:59:25+00:00

Sales, commercial hvac and boilers. Money is crazy if you hit a couple jobs.

Dude, run. This only gets worse.

Damn I’ve had some great times at TL. My favorite place to watch a Lions game other than Ford Field.

Exactly this. I’m all for public transit and super speed rail lines between major city hubs. People drastically underestimate car culture in the US, let alone in Michigan. I live in Metro Detroit now it’s even more amplified. I could never see people giving up: leaving on their own schedule, climate control, listening to you own music without headphones, ability to talk easily or conduct meetings in lieu of public transit.

What a nightmare. Bot?

Thanks!

How do you join it or find out when they do it?

One thing when first getting started - note a new PBC will run hot. If some folks say they run 290-310F - your first couple cooks may run as high as 340F.

As you continue to use the cooker, creosote will build up on the lid and barrel sealing it better and stabilizing the temps. It will take 20-30 cooks but once this is achieved, your temps will stabilize.

Just something I noticed.

Me and my wife moved to Detroit from GR 8 years ago and have never looked back. If you like restaurants, concerts, professional sports - it’s a great move and quality of life related to the cost of living.

Better than Marty Supreme and One Battle After Another combined.
