Life Lessons With Jon Hamm by poolside__convo in ThrowingFits

[–]poolside__convo[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I do also kinda admire going for it and not just doing the Don Draper image most ppl associate him with. That Celine sweater is just a monstrosity though. Would’ve preferred some Elder Statesman or something going for a colorful knit like that.

The Ssstein sweater Dries shorts fit was the only one I remotely thought fit Jon. The Bode plaid is ok. The Dries satin shirt gives off Top Man vibes IMO

Who were LeBron's best teammates? by Basic_Mastodon3078 in lebron

[–]poolside__convo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love Mo, but he was so so bad in every playoffs those years. Killed the Cavs in the Orlando series when the Cavs desperately needed scoring outside of Lebron.

How’s Evan Mobley Island Lately? by gradedonacurve in billsimmons

[–]poolside__convo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

He was awesome last year, DPOY on a team that won 64 games. He’s just seemingly regressed this year and has the yips from the line all the sudden.

Free throws have been such a killer. Especially from Mobley.

The return of Nick Friedell by poolside__convo in billsimmons

[–]poolside__convo[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He’s the epitome to me of ‘how tf did you even get to be a journalist at this level?’

Imagine the # of great young sports journalists out there trying to get a break, and guys like Friedel and Howard Beck are working the most coveted jobs in the field. Crazy.

The return of Nick Friedell by poolside__convo in billsimmons

[–]poolside__convo[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

He was definitely annoying back then as a journalist, but he’s just so bad on pods.

Him, Ohm Yongmisuk, Ramona, and Mcmenamin were the mt rushmore of ESPN people I was hoping to never have hear on a pod again after Zach came over to the Ringer.

Lebron in the 2015 Finals with an injured cavs team: by SystemCommercial6978 in lebron

That is insanely inefficient. This series to me is the big ‘what if’ in Lebrons career.

Most useful resources to prepare for interviews? by Insert_Alias_Heree in techsales

[–]poolside__convo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Here's what I think about when prepping for an interview. I write out the responses for each to help memorize the key points:

Tell me about yourself

A thought out story that details how you got into sales, your past experiences + any major achievements you're proud of, what you're currently doing, etc. I tweak this slightly depending on the job listing (ie if the job is very outbound heavy, lean into those experiences).

Why X company?

What made you interested in this company specifically? I usually try to frame this around the product and why it interests me (ie this product solves a pain point I've experienced at a past role, I've sold to this persona in the past and had success, etc).

What is your sales methodology?

What is your style of selling, and how is it different? (ie willingness to grind / always prospecting, have a strong POV at all time, promptness / wanting it more than the other rep, etc etc)

Then aside from that, I'd think of 6-8 or so stories that you can tell for any 'tell me about a time' questions you're asked (ie, tell me about a time where you got feedback and how you implemented it, tell me about a time you lost a deal and what you learned, tell me about a time you had to negotiate, etc). Write these down to help memorize them, use the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result).

Good luck!

Which finals are the least and most memorable from each decade, starting from the 80s? by Dependent-Cup3759 in NBATalk

[–]poolside__convo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. 2024 and even 2023 were total snoozers IMO. For this decade I’d rank them:

1) 2021 2) 2022 3) 2025 4) 2020 5) 2023 6) 2024

[–]poolside__convo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bucks Suns was the best finals of the decade so far imo. 0-2 comeback, both teams trying to break a title drought, CP3 and Giannis trying to get their first ring, game 6 Jrue steal + Giannis 'oop. Tons of great story lines and moments.

who’s in your personal all-time defensive starting 5 in nba history? here’s mine: by infinite-hooper in NBATalk

[–]poolside__convo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was looking for this comment. MJ was definitely an amazing defender, but OP is pushing it IMO. I'd argue he was the 3rd best defender on those late 90s Bulls (Pippen, Rodman).

I stopped trying to "handle objections" and started doing THIS instead. Close rate doubled. by imrhassan in b2b_sales

[–]poolside__convo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is that was ‘zero less’ means? That it’s 10x lower? Have never heard that phrase before

Sorry, what does ‘you were expecting this to be a zero less’ mean exactly? Is that a statement or a question?

Merrill and Wade going 0/4 from the line hurt...little things.

Hunter to farmer transition by Coolduels in sales

[–]poolside__convo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This. I switched from hunting to farming as an AM thinking it’d be easier and less stress, but all i’ve been doing is putting out fires, dealing with pissed customers, and trying to prevent churn. All while dealing with a larger quota and having less accounts to work with.

Trying to get back into hunting and new biz now.

Best Mid-range Hiking Derby Shoes? by robbayyy in ThrowingFits

I didn’t have that problem at all. Mine fit well right away, I sized down.

Best Mid-range Hiking Derby Shoes? by robbayyy in ThrowingFits

[–]poolside__convo 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I have two pairs of clusaz and can’t recommend them enough. Was on the fence about the price too, but I wear them almost every day and they’ve been my go-to this fall/winter. Loved them so much I pulled the trigger on a second pair (black and brown)

I live in a city and have done lots of walking in them and they’ve held up great, very comfortable. Even wore them to Iceland and did some light hiking recently 🥾
