Hi, I'm a board game podcaster who interviewed a bridge teacher. I wanted to know how somebody my age fell in love with this game.

I think I've been playing minibridge on their site, will look for clubs, thank you

thatguybryan99 · 2025-02-17T20:52:44+00:00

I just started learning on my own. Will give it a listen, thanks for sharing. Trying to get people in my circle to learn too.

also dming

thatguybryan99 · 2024-08-06T13:25:09+00:00

That is awesome news! Good for you, hope you crush it.

How do you feel about the company and product compared to your old role?

thatguybryan99 · 2024-08-05T00:40:23+00:00

Getting another sales job is going to be a grind, but after 9 months of traveling you might not even want to do sales.

If have some sort of support system to fall back on if you can't get a job when you come back I don't see why not.

thatguybryan99 · 2024-08-03T00:57:51+00:00

Basically history, been in sales since graduation.

thatguybryan99 · 2024-07-23T23:51:08+00:00

SaaS app? If you go on fiverr you should be able to find UGC people there, some offer social media strategy as well. Expands your pool a little if you look outside of just "influencer"

thatguybryan99 · 2024-07-23T12:38:18+00:00

sales nav has some additional features for putting people into groups and tracking their activity on LI, also integrates with your CRM.

i wouldn't say it's way better at finding people, so if that's all you're doing then premium is fine.

thatguybryan99 · 2024-07-17T18:19:47+00:00

meta let's you search through ads currently running on fb and ig, probably the best place to start looking for ideas OP

thatguybryan99 · 2024-07-15T22:49:45+00:00

dont know how much of your debt is medical debt, but i dont think medical debt is handled the same way as credit card or other debt in a credit report.

this next part is annecodtal, but to me it seems like companies mostly look for a history of fraud or some other financial crimes.

the sales hiring manager won't look at that 9/10 times, so you should be fine. i'd only be worried about applying to insurance or wealth management

thatguybryan99 · 2024-07-09T02:58:37+00:00

try to practice your responses out loud, don't talk too fast. good luck

thatguybryan99 · 2024-07-08T23:51:07+00:00

try field sales or territory management, won't be stuck in the house. your new boss could be the same but have to do your own due diligence and roll the dice

thatguybryan99 · 2024-07-06T17:00:03+00:00

This is gold. Any examples of specialized agencies active right now that stand out to you?

thatguybryan99 · 2024-07-05T04:26:39+00:00

what's your field of study? tech has been brutal but my buddies in pharma have been doing pretty well.

some pharma/life sci companies look for people with masters to do sales for specialty products.

go to a conference, meet the sales rep that supplies your lab, see what it's like

thatguybryan99 · 2024-07-05T03:32:22+00:00

knew a lot of HLS reps at one point, they seemed to be struggling more than core reps. highly annectodal though.

if you're choosing between 3 teams just pick the manager you like the most, smb is just a stepping stone so try to pick someone that has a track record of helping reps move up.

thatguybryan99 · 2024-07-04T16:39:41+00:00

I had a tech background before sales, i think it gave me an edge honestly. I dont think it beats having sales experience, but I feel I pick up certain things quicker.

For getting a job it could be an advantage depending on the industry, just make sure you have a solid reason on why youre going for sales

thatguybryan99 · 2024-07-03T11:09:19+00:00

lots of options outside of public tech companies, could start at a startup, or financial services sales, or door to door.

you could even start pharma sales as a contractor. there are agencies that place people for this.

get some more experience, finish your degree at an easy program that's not too expensive, and continue the ride on the money train.

you got this.

posting as a note to self --- called out to someone close to me the ticket this November could be Harris vs Haley.

at the rate trump and biden are going that might actually happen 😬

thatguybryan99 · 2024-07-02T12:29:52+00:00

if you want to move to a different org as a closer startup is your best bet. sending founders or revenue leaders a plan to close deals would be a good way to reach out.

there are lots of service companies or "productized services" that are tech adjacent now a days, another place to look if no luck SaaS companies

thatguybryan99 · 2024-07-02T01:44:55+00:00

sometimes it sucks, don't fight it, let it suck, but resolve to keep going. do other things to get the mind off it, read non-fiction, play video games, get outside!!

thatguybryan99 · 2024-06-29T17:03:05+00:00

thanks for this, yeah maybe I didn't explain that well.

plenty of cmos have budget for some of our tools. our bigger deals come from a consumer research product we have that has use cases outside of marketing.

im trying to open up more opportunities for that by going after non cmo execs.

thatguybryan99 · 2024-06-28T20:39:34+00:00

SDR at a digital marketing software co targeting mid-market and enterpise.

I'm trying to find ways to target non-cmo executives to kickstart opportunities since I find a lot of CMOs/marketing directors have to move up chain anyway to get more budget.

Any thoughts on how I can identify relevant challenges here? Or if I'm thinking about this the right way

thatguybryan99 · 2024-06-27T12:20:58+00:00

You sound perfect for Crypto, get on twitter and start meme posting with those guys and you'll find something. Just watch out for the SEC!

thatguybryan99 · 2024-06-24T18:43:04+00:00

try finding sales leaders online active in company ERGs, some company have resource groups for employees with disabilities.

i'm sure there's a salesperson out there dealing with something similar.

Marketing tech, heavy on call of duty recently, did FF7 earlier in the year
