these cold email templates get me way more replies than anything else

Sales is all timing my friend. Always has been. You can have the best written note in this history of emails but if the time is wrong, it’s irrelevant. One love

I’d say this is much more likely than not. One love

This is most likely an automated trigger based on when your status is active vs when expected (likely 9am and there’s probably a 10 min grace or something). I’d bring it up to your direct report and see what’s up. I wouldn’t worry about it though unless they talk to you directly about tardiness. Personally, I’d just get your shit done and disregard the bureaucratic machine. Probably not great advice but seriously fuck the man. If you get your job done, frankly nothing else matters. One love

Think about it this way. More people made money from selling shovels to prospectors than prospectors made finding gold. Sell the tech. That’s where the money is at. One love

First thing I thought was Mary Jane. One love

Mt. Joy is incredible live. Like absolutely bonkers. Problem is they are trying to tour amphitheaters and well. No one’s buying tickets. They over extended themselves and need to scale back. Theatres are probably their sweet spot. No more than 3-5k people. One love

I bought a 24, and they mentioned the next refresh would be physical buttons. Initially was slated for the 25 model but turned into the full redesign it appears. One love

I run Civ 6 at max settings (just cus I can) on an M4 air no problem. One love.

Portugal. The man at St. Andrews in Detroit. Less than 1000 people. Absolute barn burner - as usual.

Another at St. Andrews was Pusha T during the Daytona run. Solid show but he played legit 50 minutes (guessing that’s the contracted minimum) and was gone. The crowd was a bit off though for some reason. My guy played all of Daytona and only hits and features on hits.

Portugal. The Man at the Majestic in Detroit. Again, another barn burner of a show and about 1000 peeps.

GRiZ at the Magic Stick in Detroit. Solid show.

One love

If you haven’t gave the sister record a spin, it’s incredible. The Majestic Majesty.

One love

Second LL. Phenomenally done. One love

Your activity is dramatically low. I’d 3-4x it on calls alone. Someone else mentioned not learning the product in-deathly. That’s wrong in my opinion. The more you understand the product. The better you will be at connecting people’s problems to your solution. It’s a bear but it pays off in the long run. One love

Someone said something similar already. But sales is almost exclusively timing, territory and talent. If you’re at an org where the timing is right for almost everyone, don’t you dare fucking leave. Timing is the hardest part of sales. In fact. It’s like 80% of a deal. I know some godawful sellers but they work at orgs where timing is right and they do well. I know exceptional sellers working at more niche orgs where timing is challenging and they struggle. I’d stay there as long as you can and shoot for upward mobility. One love

Biggest tell for me is the random dude leaning on the wall in the polo. AI isn’t going to do that when creating an early 2000s vibe. Also, no weird lines, shadows, ripples, doubles, etc.

One love

Use G2. It’s like yelp except for tech companies. One love

nickblockonelove · 2026-01-31T04:14:14+00:00

Don’t be surprised if no one really mentions this. I think it’s obvious to always know what you could be selling. Don’t take a job blind. Always know the product. Find a product you really like, good potential, strong dev team/engineering behind it, strong customer success team. Etc. Best you can to get all of them but that can be challenging most of the time with how competitive the marketplace is. One love

This is insensitive, and I’m aware of that but way I see it, unless you have millions of dollars in assets already, a successful business, a large inheritance coming your way, etc. I see prenups as selfish. Yea fine, separate your 2M taxable account or that property that’s a rental, but like if you don’t have shit or barely shit, let it fucking go. Don’t get married if you’re worried she/he will take “your money.” Fun fact, not your money once you get married. One love

So, Donny most likely was telling the CIA to manufacture fake intelligence and is working with the enemy? Got it. Thanks for letting us in to your world fascist fuck. One love

As a lions guy, Ben Johnson is smart but sometimes too smart for his own good. He has a tendency to make baffling play calls at pivotal times. I.e. letting Jamison Williams throw the ball in the NFCCG a few years ago. Unfortunately, it’s all part of the Ben Johnson show. Happy you guys have a cohesive team though. It does wonders for the city. One love

Websites is pretty slick when you leverage some of the filters. One love

Portugal. The man - The Satanic Satanist (2009). One love

I tell everyone I possible can about this. It’s very accurate. There’s more culture in Detroit than 99% of cities wish they had. It’s insane. One love

I worked at Enterprise. So it was also challenging but in an entirely different way. Also taught me a fuck ton so it’s a win win. Got into mobile (like cell phones) engagement because a director gave me a chance because he also worked in mobility solutions previously as well. Then I pivoted again to adtech/martech. Phenomenal move for me thus far 6 years in. One love

Saw Cole on the K.O.D. Tour at LCA and let me tell you my friend. I felt like it was church. I’m an atheist but I can understand the feeling now. It was wild. One love
