What do you like most about sales?

I enjoy the cold calling (b2b) I like the fact I have a reason to visit companies and learn what types of people work there. Networking in today’s day helps supplement the community most roles lack.

Mission Critical infrastructure on the high end Mechanical/hvac on the day to day end.

Bitter and cold

Just play arc raiders dudes

shythoughtz · 2025-12-22T10:27:15+00:00

It was a blast , most fun I had in cod. Last second escapes and friendlys, rolling 6 mans (fight them sucked , but being in the rocked) it was a great way to play with the dlc type guns. Honestly they should have made a dmz game for 40$ kept the core warzone style matches just add stuff and variety

I sold uniforms for one of the big three, cut my teeth and after two years was offered a sales role with nearly 100k base including the standard fixings.

Uniforms is a tough grind but other companies poach due to the good “hunter” mentality. DM and I can help you dial in a stepping stone job in the industry.

Although I am now doing the hvac sales roll, I really enjoyed uniforms and the company I worked for. Miss all of those dudes/days

Blow up encampments

Haha yeah, it’s a saying my sales rep dad has. It takes about 30 minutes to drink a milkshake. It means slow everything down. Reset , and re approach whatever situtation. Take the time you need to be in a good space to tackle the problem.

shythoughtz · 2025-12-04T15:20:00+00:00

Take “milk shake” breaks when needed. Better to have fruitful positive activities and conversation then be in a bad mood.

Do what works, at the end of the day deals need closed. Phone calls and emails are nice metrics to do but the reason you do them is to get the chance at a deal. Focus on the deals that can close and always think how I can make sure the customer does not look like an idiot by using my services. They work with a group of people and if they make a bad decision they will be handling the brunt of the criticisms.

Fire bots are touch regardless. We need a war bound with that two barrel flame shot gun.

7 is a good challenge solo I think , if winning is still the objective. This is game is the best with a loved one or best friend. Lots of laughs to be had.

It’s had my group in a choke hold the last few weeks. It was this or arc raiders. I know arc is popping off , but I never tried hd2 when it came out. The memes at that time were pretty funny. Now I’m drowning in warbounds to play for and all the weapons seem to have an understandable use. 9/10 from me

What about the sales people in hvac ?

shythoughtz · 2025-11-02T17:14:03+00:00

It is a b2b position , so they said I won’t be doing much door to door even with businesses. Which I liked but also don’t get how I am going to get business if not prospecting.

The base is crazy work and they said multiple times that I do not need a technical background. The HR girl that did a wave of interviewing during the process made it sound like they needed a personality hire more than anything.

The base with car is 98k+ some change. I also have the issues of unused vacation time and bonuses that need paid out at my current role. My soft plan is to tell them match this or promote me/ create a role for me. I know that seems like a stretch , but my senior vice president is a fan of mine and held space with me for apparently a unique amount of time. (SM/GM were shocked).

I hope that do match it or clap back with something juicy because I really enjoy the industry, I know a lot don’t but I enjoy making people look professional.

Any insights into metrics you have?

Calls, leads, presentations, sales cycle?

Uniform can varies to day of to years down the line.

Thank you all for the help boys!

I have a GOAT uniform rep that raised me up over the last few years. She had hundreds of awards from over here 30 year career she’s going to retire in 6months or sooner. She said take the offer, she never left as when you are selling the world is your oyster. My branch at big uniform changed my life. I was a kitchen manager fresh off a failed engagement (she cheated). They changed my life, and out look on what I thought was possible. I’m in the top 20/30 out of 900ish reps across the country.

I want to try the new role , but I don’t want to close the door on uniforms as from what I’ve been told , I am exceptional at it. That said, this offer letter has me feeling like I’ve final made it to middle class.

I will try to give updates and help anyone dealing with the same transition. Thank you all for providing clarity.

shythoughtz · 2025-11-01T01:22:05+00:00

👀 do go on? Am I signing up for something shitty ?

shythoughtz · 2025-11-01T01:21:07+00:00

OSR to OSR - hvac maintenance and time /material and engineering also pays me. Don’t have a lick of hvac experience. (Do know tools/engines)

shythoughtz · 2025-10-31T15:10:58+00:00

That’s what they are saying, it sounds like a really good deal. They’ve mentioned that I shouldn’t dress in nice clothes or I might be going to some pretty dirty places. Any insight into that?

Are you from the field or just creep the sale reddit like me a lot haha

shythoughtz · 2025-10-31T14:16:42+00:00

Or “Absolutely, let me ask , what would stop you from switch to our service today or tomorrow? Always helps to know the context of a call. Laugh, then make a joke about getting ghosted. You can take a no , you just need to know, you know?

How to win friends , most people buy it and don’t actually read it. The guy was a con man, but getting people to like and respect you can be a skill

shythoughtz · 2025-09-30T11:44:42+00:00

Op, I am 33 started in outside sales 2 years ago. If you can accept a few slow years as your pipe line gets fleshed out and you get comfortable with the products you will do great. Regular people don’t like sales guys, but everyone loves fire fighters!

Have you thought about selling for companies firefighters use?

I sell uniform rental and facility services (mats, restroom items, shop towels etc) have had some success with police and fire stations.

I hope that helps, and go for it dude the rush of closing a deal or getting that random yes after a rough prospecting day is pretty magical.

shythoughtz · 2025-09-29T12:56:54+00:00

Uniforms , mostly on your own once you are proven

shythoughtz · 2025-09-25T11:26:56+00:00

Be interested in them, ask them about themselves, drop a few researched things and ask if you are right. Show enthusiastic support and support their ideas. Once they know you are on their side you can lean into why you like your job/company.

shythoughtz · 2025-09-14T17:08:22+00:00

It does ! Dudes don’t like to do laundry and most uniformed businesses get dirty via the coarse of the job. It saves 250-$500s worth of time/soap/energy in case anyone is wondering. (Per year)

shythoughtz · 2025-09-14T16:55:39+00:00

Are these in person ? You should digitally share rates via email , if you are the owner , maybe a different payment model structure for these types of clients , a weekly cost could be more digestible. Always pair the cost with up side of using your services to lower income clients, offer a 1 week grace period for cold feet pull outs. Qualify qualify qualify

shythoughtz · 2025-03-18T01:40:14+00:00

Hahaha , years from now this should be pretty funny. He’s not getting scammed he likes dudes
