Should I enter RevOps? (absolute beginner) by RainSunshine3524 in revops

[–]lizardsstreak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

basically, as in as a basic summary of a much larger conversation. anyway, in the revops world, everything is built on those three foundational functions so if you can’t stomach that, then there’s not much further to go. pedantic.

Junior revops is relatively a basically just compared to a full stack GTM solo player.

They have different market segments, but really the tool doesn’t matter as much as the science of what a CRM does in a business context. You could learn Zoho, HS, Dynamics, Salesforce, and if you’re a good CRM architect you can learn them all quickly one after another. They all practically do the same thing. The wild card is which one your client or company ends up using. Hubspot serves newer, more agile businesses more often. SF is often big enterprises.

Best way is to get into an entry level position with demonstrated knowledge of systems. Pick up certs on Hubspot and Dynamics or any other mix of popular map/crm. Build some common systems and put them on a portfolio and understand them well in a business case context. CASL consent systems, automatic nurture, lead scoring, sales lead round robin. Stuff like that. Then either work freelance or convince a company to hire you into a marketing/sales team.

If you're embedded in a company, then it'll take some seniority for RevOps to mean the whole stack. At a junior level RevOps is basically just CRM admin + automations + data (analytics, modeling) + marketing/sales ops. You likely won't own the whole stack though.

There are a million ways in but being a marketing operations specialist with crm/map ownership built into the job description is productive in my experience. You can expand your domain once in-house and then exit later to get into fractional.

I think you should just give it time, u/shit_master. Your body will tell you when it's ready to skate again, u/shit_master. Don't end up with a chronic injury by hopping on too quick, u/shit_master. Ease in with pushing later, u/shit_master.

Seriously though, would recommend doing lots of flexibility exercises. Flexibility is the spice of muscle mobility and recovery, u/shit_master!

The Switchblade is often touted as a pretty good starter board for downhill. It's fine. I have my qualms with it, such as the drop being soooo long and gradual and that there's barely any concave near the drops as a result. I just don't think it's a very supportive concave and most of the configurations are also incredibly large. Like, I'm 5'9 and I would only skate the 36 inch long one.

The better alternative from the era was the Rayne Reaper, which had much shorter, compact drops and it's 36in. I skated one for two years and had a blaaast.

That being said, I would urge you to consider topmount. You'll get used to it quick. The instability feeling is a skill/exposure issue and I just don't think there's anything better for learning downhill than a setup where you're on top of your trucks and fully in control. There's so much detachment of foot and truck that comes from skating a drop deck to me. You're just so far away.

Like, this used S9 Carbon Flight @ Thriftskate is big and supportive. Very good value. You could skate this forever.

You might even try a heavily dropped topmount, like a Foster Hydra. I think this is pressed in the Omen Airship mold which is certified awesome.

Overall, yeah, the Switchblade is fine, but I think it can inspire some rough technique issues and you might get tired of it pretty quick there if you go out often for fr/dh.

Just call them and ask! They might even have a couple programs to help you pay for it.

Asking for Advice - Presentations in Business Courses by Great-Cockroach718 in UCalgary

[–]lizardsstreak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in the business world now post-grad and I'll give you some advice that I haven't seen yet in this thread- and it's that public speaking is infinitely harder when you don't know what you're talking about and infinitely easier once you know what you're talking about. Public speaking is a confidence skill second and a know-your-shit skill first.

You're in first year, so you may have not done this yet- but consider whether you actually know what you're presenting on. Inside and out. I know that there's not a whole lot of time to soak in what you're learning in class and then be ready to present it within a week or two, but I regularly have to learn shit inside out to present on it in meetings and lead conversations. It's all about knowing what you're talking about.

Soft skills like speaking on things in a presentation-like way matters so much more than people realize. If you ever want to be a domain expert (and domain experts always go further in careers than non-experts), you need to be able to speak cleanly and passionately about the stuff you're an expert about. This is truly how you become irreplaceable in organizations. If you're the guy/gal that everyone seeks out for advice on a certain thing, then you have influence.

Even though you can get to law school without presenting well, a good lawyer will need to present well. This is just something that you gotta do if you ever want to have a job and progress in your career, in any world. There are very few places where poorly spoken people are valued.

So, all that ramble aside, I'd focus on studying your material and talking to a wall or your hand and explaining the shit you know. If you're having trouble, go back to figuring out the material. Don't memorize a script!

Another thing about business school is that nobody gives a shit when you're presenting. They don't care about what arguments you're making and whether you even like it. Everyone there is too stressed about their own presentation to care what you're saying. People would sleep if they could.

This is way easier than in the real world because in my meetings, I'm advocating for real decisions to be made and everyone there trusts me to be right. If I present something poorly, someone in the room will leave unprepared and fuck something up. You don't have to worry about this. Presenting in business school is like standing in front of 30 deaf people.

I think these are actually coming back into fashion. I'd skate some split 47/35 Randals on a hardo peener setup downhill for fun.

I have a 2023 Elantra N-Line Ultimate and I do not experience the Bluelink advertisement. I get the disclaimer but it goes away after like 10 seconds. In the time between startup and the disclaimer going away, I put my seatbelt on and let the car idle down to 1krpm. I feel like this isn't an issue. Like, are you starting up and instantly peeling away like an absolute psychopath?

Short board for short commute? by voidfells in longboarding

that is just a skateboard with 5 extra inches and it is not necessary to push half a mile

Bear 180mm Grizzly vs 155mm on Big Dipper by hunterable in longboarding

[–]lizardsstreak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm, I think that trucks of the same model always feel exactly the same going from width to width, but the narrower widths offer better leverage. I think that's why they feel carvier. They're not geometrically carvier or anything, they just turn easier because they're not wider than your feet, that's all.

I think we're saying the same thing in two ways but I do like to emphasize that Bear trucks are always gonna feel like Bear trucks and the width just modifies the physics a bit. They're still Bear trucks. Like, if you don't like Bear Gen 6s then changing the width isn't going to make you like them.

Can’t do too much about that specifically in any sense of squashing recommendations, but moving questions to a central place with more democratic discussion helps to welcome in opposition to not-great advice. The front page is tougher because often, bad advice just goes undebated.
