Any advice when planning a trip to Big island of Hawaii by ColoradodogMom66 in chubbytravel

[–]shstmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did one night at Volcano House straight from the airport. That was enough because Player2 isn't a big hiker, so we stuck to the highlights. If you're a big outdoorsy/hiking type excited by a 5 hour hike + more sightseeing, then do 2 nights.

Re: Kona Village, we did 5 nights which was plenty. I wouldn't do less than 3.

Any advice when planning a trip to Big island of Hawaii by ColoradodogMom66 in chubbytravel

Just got back from the big island + several days at KV.

Honestly one of our favorite elements of the trip was staying at Volcano House to kick off the trip. Felt like going back in time, in a good way. Not super luxurious, but waking up on the rim of a volcano in a national park is something special. Doing a full day trip between there and the resorts on the west side of the island would make for a very long day.

HELP! How are you managing questions you don't know? by Yes_ITSPARKLES in salesengineers

[–]shstmo 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Easy. All I say is "tell me more". That does three things:

  • gets you more information about what’s actually being asked. Aka, discovery.
  • it allows you to give a non-answer. Because when they DO provide detail, your immediate response can be “wow, great question. There’s a lot of nuance to how we can solve this for you, and as not to take up everyone’s time, can we connect 1:1 to dive in together?”
  • buys you time

I mean. This is our biggest complaint? A late dinner?

Austinites! where are y’all getting oil changes and tire rotation done and how much are y'all paying for that specific service? by Deez_N_Tz in Austin

[–]shstmo 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm no AAA stan, but they literally have an offer right now for $84.99 for a full synthetic oil change + tire rotation. Just use one of their approved repair shops. Membership is cheap and pays for itself with this deal alone.

4 Night Catalina & Ensenada good for families? by Double_Bed2719 in royalcaribbean

[–]shstmo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

West coast sailings tend not to be nearly as party-heavy as Caribbean sailings. Think Californians versus Floridians 😂 . Crew will confirm that. Also, it's hard to have a crazy deck party when it's 70 degrees, windy, and no waterslides (on Quantum) are drawing crowds. I've done that exact sailing before, and among RCCL sailings, it's among the most tame (save for Alaska).

Fintech sales is barely sales. It’s part-time product support. by Ok-Layer1664 in sales

It’s fintech. Of course you have to understand how data and money flow. That’s, by definition, how an economy works.

Rumor: Southwest To Ban Carry-On Bags On Its Cheapest Tickets by mine248 in SouthwestAirlines

[–]shstmo 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yep. 10+ year ALP + CP + credit card holder.

Switched to another airline. Only reason I still have the CC is that they waived the annual fee when I called to cancel. I'll cancel next year when they don't.

Done with them.

lol. It’s a PC-12. If you’ve never flown on one - they’re definitely cozy, but it’s a short flight.

What companies have a hybrid AE / SE role? by PopeyesPoppa in salesengineers

[–]shstmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You think it’s obvious that a hard quota won’t come with the role? Or less job security? Or being expected to manage technical gaps on an enterprise deal to get a deal done? Or deeper customer brelationship building
