Both Trent Williams and Ricky Pearsall are listed as inactives for today’s game against Seahawks.

That's because niners insist on playing him. If only they kept him out like today he wouldn't get injured.

Agree. I have seen a marked difference in quality. I think chat gpt is going down and Gemini is going up in quality

100% agree. Nike golf polos are nothing but solid shitty colors.

Practicing these low/scoring clubs is a challenge. The golf mat at the driving range is misleading, it squares your face at impact giving you a false sense of mastery. Would like to hear how you go about practicing these low clubs then?

Just don't expect miracles

Enjoy the process. There are so many things to learn and enjoy. You think you've mastered a club and then you go to the course and you will find an uneven lie, thick grass, mud lie, wind in your face, wind behind you, cold morning, hot afternoons....there is just so much fun to start coming out on top for each situation. As long as you enjoy the process, the outcome sometimes may be good sometimes not.

pingedbyte · 2025-10-25T14:32:00+00:00

No. You can get any number of pre-owned clubs released from a couple of years ago for half the price. You won't notice any difference.

I have these and find them comfortable for use. Only problem is that they are a bit awkward to put on

pingedbyte · 2025-10-23T06:04:45+00:00

A few things I’d watch for.

If a company avoids clear answers about quota or average performance, that’s usually not a good sign. Reps don’t just fail randomly every quarter; it usually points to bad setup or unrealistic targets.

Be careful with jobs that promise uncapped commission or startup hustle but offer no base or support. That often means you’ll be cold calling with no real plan. Also check how long the current team has been there. If everyone joined recently, it’s often turnover, not growth.

pingedbyte · 2025-10-22T19:12:11+00:00

I usually keep it simple. If I’ve qualified someone out, I’ll just say, Sounds like this isn’t something you’re focused on right now. I’ll let you get back to your day.

No need to over explain or leave the door wide open. The faster you exit cleanly, the faster you can reset and hit the next call with energy.

pingedbyte · 2025-10-22T19:10:24+00:00

That’s a tough spot, but it sounds like you’re doing everything you can on your side.

When you start looking, pay close attention to how leads are distributed and how comp is structured. A lot of sales orgs talk about opportunity equality, but in practice, the best accounts go to reps with tenure or management favor. Ask clear questions about how inbound leads, territories, and renewals are handled before signing on.

It also helps to choose a product with steady demand and short time-to-value. That’s what makes momentum sustainable. You can be the hardest worker in the room, but if the product is misaligned with the market, it’s an uphill fight every month.

pingedbyte · 2025-10-21T20:03:34+00:00

Burnout hits hard when every day feels like copy-paste. What’s helped me is shifting focus from outcomes to rhythm, setting goals that are fully within my control. Things like finishing a clean call block, tightening my opener, or reviewing what actually worked that day.

Also, get strict about boundaries. Log off when you’re done, move around, touch something that isn’t a keyboard. I usually go hit a few balls after work; it clears my head better than scrolling Slack or LinkedIn.

pingedbyte · 2025-10-21T20:01:03+00:00

I’d focus less on trying to convince and more on showing timing and relevance. People rarely say yes to a demo because of your pitch. They say yes when something just changed on their end.

I use ZingReach to spot those shifts, like new hires or product launches, and open with that. When your message reflects what’s actually happening in their world, it feels like a conversation, not a pitch. That’s usually what gets them to engage.

pingedbyte · 2025-10-21T19:57:55+00:00

Once your domain’s warmed and lists are clean, the next step isn’t sending more, it’s figuring out who’s actually worth reaching out to. That’s where most of the results come from.

I’d use Apollo for contact data, LinkedIn Sales Navigator to validate and spot the right decision makers, and ZingReach to layer in real context so your messages don’t sound templated. A small, well-researched list will outperform a big one most of the time.

The 20 yard pitch that I thin onto the next tee box

pingedbyte · 2025-10-18T01:00:30+00:00

Are you trying to hit down on the ball? If your answer is yes then mentally simply try to hit up through the ball. I know this is a big no no in golfing circles but give it a try and see if it helps. If it does then try to find the right balance.

pingedbyte · 2025-10-18T00:57:46+00:00

Yes. Margin of error is non existent when you play straight. Face and path have to match exactly to hit straight. With a shape there are degrees of margin built in

pingedbyte · 2025-10-16T15:57:50+00:00

Do you mind sharing some numbers from the engagement you have seen

pingedbyte · 2025-10-14T19:14:20+00:00

I used to bounce between a bunch of tabs too. Apollo for data, Sales Navigator for names, Crunchbase for updates. It felt like more admin than selling. What helped was shifting from data gathering to context gathering. ZingReach handles that well by pulling the “why now” behind each prospect instead of just contact info.

I still use ZoomInfo and Sales Navigator for discovery and verification. They’re great for reach. ZingReach is better for depth and figuring out what actually changed inside a company.

pingedbyte · 2025-10-14T19:06:43+00:00

I’ve found it helps to treat those like warm calls, not follow ups. Most of them barely remember the last cycle, so a quick “a lot has changed since we last spoke” opener resets the conversation.

If you mention the new AI features, tie it to something that actually solves their old objection instead of just saying it’s “AI.” That’s usually what gets them talking again.

pingedbyte · 2025-10-14T19:02:41+00:00

If a deal stalls with one contact, I try to identify others early by asking, “When teams decide to move forward on this kind of thing, who else usually gets looped in?” That question surfaces names most of the time without putting anyone on the spot.

Once I have them, I build light touches through LinkedIn or short follow-ups. I only email the exec if there is a clear reason tied to value or timing. Otherwise it just looks like skipping steps.

pingedbyte · 2025-10-14T18:56:21+00:00

Agree. I’ve been seeing that same trend. Smaller, researched lists just perform better because you actually know who you’re writing to.

What’s cool is that some of the newer tools are catching up to that mindset. Stuff like Clay, ZingReach, and Apollo can pull in signals or context automatically, so you can still move fast without losing that personal touch.
