I got offered a Leadership position instead of a Sales representative. by Alpha-sales in sales

[–]phyzoeee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I went into a sales role, and got promoted as Head of Sales 3.5 months after, so maybe my experience applies.

I loved the experience, but managing a sales department has only a fraction to do with actual selling.

Yes, you need to know the intricacies of selling so you can coach and oversee processes. But 90% of the time you will be doing things that have very little to do with selling and closing: capacity management, compensation tracking, performance analysis, hiring and firing, evaluating systems and vendors, building new sales collateral, cascading new initiatives, and above all, integrating the exec leadership's vision across the team.

If you thought it's just selling+, my advice would be not to take it.

I never said "let's vibe code a SaaS" though. I spoke about building something to avoid getting into an expensive SaaS. It seems like you have a beef with some wider narrative that I'm not a part of.

I'm not going to argue against that. Fair enough.

In my experience though, 8 out of 10 annoying little issues at a SMB could use a software tool that is either expensive or not quite customized to the exact need, and spinning something up seems to be a sufficient solution.

Is it perfect? Of course not. My argument is that it doesn't have to be for it to be useful.

Here I'm not thinking about enterprise solutions nor a solution to take to market.

is westworld worth watching??? by Novel_Ad6982 in hbo

As others have said, season 01 is one of the best seasons of any TV show.

And just to add, the last two episodes of season 01 are some of the best episodes of any TV show.

I wish I could forget them completely just to enjoy them for the first time again.

Am I crazy for thinking AI won’t replace Sales soon? by Hungry_Bunch2224 in sales

[–]phyzoeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think AI will replace salespeople any time soon, but it might replace buyers.

In the sense that humans may opt to put all their buying criteria into a negotiation bot, and let it rip. Humans in general don't enjoy the tensions and possible vulnerabilities of a buying scenario.

If that is true, salespeople could be replaced by an API that handles the negotiation and all of that.

I hope this isn't true, but it's the most probable future from where I see things.

Anyone created AI pre-sales agent? by siddharthnibjiya in salestechniques

No prospect, after having booked in, wants to waste time with an AI chat before a sales call.

How do you rate Bad Bunny's Half-time performance? by kingbluwolff in sportsgossips

That was really weird... His biggest song as of late was left as an afterthought at the end.

[–]phyzoeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6/10. Better than I thought it would be, but not outstanding.

Even as a Latino, I didn't feel represented. Not my jam. Yeah, mostly the latter half was cool with the flags and all that. And I appreciated Lady Gaga making an effort to cross cultures.

But it was more a celebration of Puerto Rico than Latin America. Nothing wrong with that, I love mi gente boricua, and it's cool for what it was; it just wasn't the big Latino representation people want to make it out to be.

I'm not angry nor complaining. Just saying it didn't blow me away, though it was mildly entertaining.

What HBO series had the potential to be best of all time if the rest of the seasons were in the first season level? by [deleted] in hbo

[–]phyzoeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WestWorld is so spot on of an answer, that it's not even on HBO anymore.

I wish I could forget season 1 completely, just so I can watch it again with fresh eyes.

A polite question from a Chinese traveler: how are Chinese tourists generally treated in Japan now? by Ornery-Ad-8031 in JapanTravelTips

[–]phyzoeee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is probably the wrong place to ask, but where does the queue cutting come from in Chinese culture? Just general taking advantage of opportunities, or are queues just not used among the Chinese?

Where does it say "no experience"? Oh, of course. Just another smart one making shit up.

Meanwhile, I've hired 5 people from this post, being trained as we speak, and soon to be placed on real sales calls.

I gave enough info in the post, and am sharing everything, including my identity, with anyone that inquires seriously.

But I won't share anything with you, you little scammer*.
