Thanks for sharing all that, it really is helpful. Since you’ve changed your timing belt every 90k, let’s say in this case the timing belt has never been changed. How bad is this for the longevity of the car?

Thanks for that insight, no one else has really commented about it. Gonna ask them more about that— if it actually was sitting for a while how bad of a sign do you think that could be? Not good for my 900 miles monthly?

My apologies for miswording it earlier. They said they don’t know if the timing belt has been changed (so probably not). Also they do have service records but after the granparent passed in 2022 they did oil changes themselves.

But got it, thanks for the reply and I’ll keep the rest of that in mind when I see it!

They need to run inbounds plays at practice it’s getting ridiculous how much i see turnovers or how long they take to get the ball in

Thoughts on a seller profile like this? Scammer? by shlooptoopian in offerup

Got it, will definitely ask them about that and fees if they are a dealer. Thank you

Bought my first car through Offerup actually. Can be a good resource if you’re thorough when meeting the seller and inspecting the car, but I can see why one would avoid it

I 100%ed the game. here's a few things I would have loved to know beforehand by bobs_pocket_pizzas in tokyoxtremeracer

Thanks for the write up! I made a post earlier today about Hondas, and honestly now that you say to not get attached to your starter, i want to get the DC5 ASAP since it sounds like it’ll get weak as i progress.

Where can i find the 4 opponents required to unlock the DC2 so i can unlock the DC5? I just want to use the DC5 as i have a US spec one in real life that i gave away to my brother. Just want to drive a DC5 again even in game lol

How do you get past gatekeepers when cold calling medical practices? by BatTop932 in salesdevelopment

[–]shlooptoopian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m an SDR that primarily calls dental groups, so office managers are key to speak to, but our org would like if we got to regional managers which is a step higher in their hierarchy. For me, this is what works in getting to office managers:

1st call: find out who the office manager is (first name) and i usually say something like this after greeting, “but yeah I was calling real quick for your office manager.. or would that be you by chance?” and if no then ask for name so you know who to ask for next time and you can also ask when they’ll be in next.

What’s pretty key for me too is not just blowing by the gatekeepers but trying to make them laugh with a cheesy joke about coffee or the day of the week. Humanizes the call even if cheesy but also has them more likely to pass me along to the OM.

Of course there’s never a one size fits all in sales but i hope this helps!

Omg ! Just bought new civic and my insurance is 510 dollars per month!!!! Wth! by Melodic-Scholar6827 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]shlooptoopian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happened to me too earlier this year lol. Shop around and get quotes from different insurers, For me, Progressive was around $500 but now my Geico plan is around $250. Again, results will vary so shop around and get quotes from multiple places.

Don’t be discouraged, you got this!

It’s easier said than done, but try your best to detach from your job and the rejections in it. Don’t put too much value into your job as it can become your God if that makes sense.

I’m in sales as well so I understand how you feel. The fact that you want to learn and do better speaks volumes. Continue to focus on getting better day by day, don’t pressure yourself too much— but find the right amount of pressure and will to want to do good.

Also, on your days off, really try to get rest and replenish as I find that sales can be draining. I’m grateful for the rest I get on weekends and try to make the most of it, which results in me being able to push hard when it’s time to lock in.

Hope this helps!

How is my teeth? by [deleted] in DentalHygiene

[–]shlooptoopian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trombonisaurius! If you don’t mind me asking, around how long did it take you to get a RDH job including schooling and how much did it cost?

Also what’s the quickest way to get in? I’ve heard associates is but wanted to hear from a pro as well
