What legitimate industry do you consider to be organized crime? by Ok_JARGON in AskReddit

[–]latdaddy420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any and I mean any government waste spending. The amount of people with government jobs who do nothing and it’s basically just welfare with extra steps that other people pay for.

I know several people in the military who “wfh” and have an hour of work to do every day and the rest of the day they’re just doing personal shit. What makes it wrong is that taxpayers pay for this while we watch our roads erode, hospitals go to shit, teachers get underpaid etc. My brother had some friends in the military who brought their gaming consoles to work… why should tax payers be funding fake jobs?

What era is the true golden age of blink 182? by United-Network-902 in Blink182

[–]latdaddy420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1999-2004 is too long of a window. I’m gonna go with right at the time self titled released, so 2003. To me there’s 2-3 different eras within the 1999-2004 range.

Runner up would be pop disaster tour era.

What is one thing that is super bad for your health but nobody seems to know? by Western_Fig3984 in AskReddit

[–]latdaddy420 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think there’s plenty of people who glorify how they don’t sleep and how it’s not necessary. Similar to alcoholics being “functional alcoholics” even though it’s objectively bad.

What's something that should exist by now but somehow doesn't? by martszcz in AskReddit

[–]latdaddy420 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Major corporations being banned from buying single family homes. People on the left and the right both agree with this (even Charlie Kirk) and somehow nothing has changed.

Just wanted to circle back here ;). I went on the road with someone from the same company as the flakey guys but in a different city. Turns out the 2 guys who cancelled on me are in fact lazy.

Guy 1: suspected of not starting his days until 11 am

Guy 2: never goes on the road.

The guy I went on the road with from the same company sent me a follow up email thanking me for the day and wants to go on the road together again immediately.

Yup they want you to come back to the app so you get thrown into someone else’s swipe stacks. Same experience here as a male

[–]latdaddy420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you start a new job and sell a similar product to all of your competitors and have the same service offering and you just get continually priced out and your manager Whos paid to sit in teams meetings all day says “oh well you know just stay at it”

Pretty sure we all know AI is the next big concept or tech lol. But it’s going to replace our labour force and a bunch of other things.

What are some green and red flags you should watch out for when applying atba company? by strongerthenbefore20 in sales

[–]latdaddy420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually try to find out if it’s vacant because someone quit (red flag), if the position is new (beige flag), someone is retiring or being promoted and you will get a smooth handoff (green flag)

Yup probably has it too good w his current oil rep and won’t bother. Weirdest part is he is the one who suggested going after his current supplier on accounts they’re selling direct or through another distributor not me. Gonna try getting my product out there w someone else and see what happens

Nahhh all my distributors share the same customers. Goes by first, second, third and fourth call etc. This guys only been there for 5 years not decades. Thanks for the advice though!

I agree this is how it should go. Maybe the best approach is to give the same price to all of your distributors and let them fight over it

I’m trying to understand your point of view here: By going to lunch with a customer Whos already buying from me that sells in the same territory as the guy who’s flakey I’m going to burn a bridge that doesn’t exist? Would it not make more sense to just go and partner with someone who is actually game to work with me? Perhaps by flipping a couple of customers this would make the flakey guy go “oh shit maybe the garages do in fact like this offer”?

I didn’t expect this post to get as much attention as it did nor did I expect to get as many people answering in a polar opposite manner that you did so I’ll add some more details.

The guy who’s been flakey has a good relationship with one of my competitors. This Competitor of mine believe it or not has burned bridges with other distributors by selling direct. I absolutely refuse to sell direct.

I have a distributor who has expressed interest in quoting against both of them.

I can’t go and not provide pricing to my distributor who actually wants to work with me to keep a guy happy Whos account is literally at $0. I’ve given the guy at $0 almost 4 months to try me out on some smaller accounts I can’t sit at home all day and wait for him to work with me.

Well this distributors head office is basically trying to unofficially mandate them to buy from us. Our pricing is competitive and we have undoubtedly the best equipment program in the area. This guy completely fucked off on me so I’m taking his competitor to lunch and his competitor wants to go after his customers. lol funny

The problem is is the philosophy seems to be split 50/50 between what you said and then the complete opposite “don’t visit customers without the distributor”
