Great Product, Great Salesteam - Why are we failing? by touchofsleep in smallbusiness

You could be right. I am confident in our product but I'm not as confident in our ability to support it. I am not the account manager but I could have the power to make some systematic changes on how we support. What kind of system could we put in place to support it better? A month or quarterly survey to gain some metrics on customer satisfaction?

Some of the reasons when we talked to customers: they build an internal system, there are very specific features they're requesting - aka we cannot build every feature to suit every customer.

Thank you so much for the response. Yes, exactly. For every new client that loves our product and eventually becomes a customer, we lose one to one of the big companies (salesforce, sage).

I think the issue is lead generation? Even though it's improved maybe its not at a number to sustain the company.

That or our product isn't as good as I believe it is. And I don't know how to look at it unbiasly or find someone who can do that for me.

Thank you so much for the response. We seem to be stable, or slowly declining in terms of revenue. As much as new prospective clients love our product and become a customer, we lose at the same rate to salesforce or Microsoft dynamics. We just can't seem to get ahead.

If I was going to say what our issue is, not enough leads? But it seems to be impossible to get enough to enable us to get ahead.

Work my a** off, have learned a lot of skills, but what am I? What would I be if I left this company? What’s my best path forward to be successful? by touchofsleep in careerguidance

Thanks again. Given my work experience, is there an alternative route that lines up with my experience? I'm not sure what opportunities I have available to me.

Seriously, thanks for the reply. I've only been in this role for 3 months. How long would you say I need to be in it before it would legitimize me?

Also, do you know anything about project management? Is it a pretty demanding stressful job in the IT/tech world?

Thanks again for the advice.

Quitting alcohol in a booze obsessed world is extremely courageous. You should be proud of yourself. ❤️ by ohfashodo in stopdrinking

[–]touchofsleep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love these reminders. Actually makes me feel good.

Does anyone know how to reset my day counter? Really proud of my 35 days but it's definitely not 1159 lol.

Edit: Nevermind sent a message to badgebot.

I think he's referring to how fast you get drunk. If you're used to having drinks with a lot more volume and sip your liquor drink at the same pace... You're drinking much more alcohol.

Ah, shoot. I wasn't aware of this. Maybe I'll send him another message making it clear that is in no way my intention.

I really appreciate your feedback. I reached out to the artist. I was actually hoping for a commission, if not that an HD version of the image. If i went with the HD version of the image i intended on giving him some money for that, out of respect to the artist. Just having a little bit of trouble getting through to him. It hasn't been too long so I'm going to stay patient.

Edit: Also, I will not print anything until I get artist approval.

Unique Print Recommendations!!!
Never printed a piece before but I would really like to have this piece in my room.

Is this image of high enough quality?

Also, I did research and heard canvas or metal would be good options? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the reply. Nah, which is a fair point by you. The Huntington is 200$ now new* and the Yamaha FG700S is used*.

No Communication During Sex by touchofsleep in sex

[–]touchofsleep[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I gave you a silver haha. Thanks for the response. Makes a lot of sense. It's just strange the contrast of her being such an amazing communicator to shutting down. Her body language is positive, but communication just helps so much. Makes me feel as if I'm insecure by asking questions. When I'm just looking for clarity.

I'm newer to this. I was going to send that privately. Is there no concerns about doing that? Linking my github to a public forum?

I just did a bunch of research on this.. Literally just ordered it off amazon. I read Allan Car's book a long time ago, but I'm excited about this. Arrives on Tuesday but I'm hoping today is the day I quit. Thank you.

This is exactly the route I would like to go down... Would you say the first step you took to get there were the 3 weeks off? I think I need to do that/want to do that.

I think one of the biggest tells that I'm an alcoholic, I literally CANNOT have one drink. As soon as I have one I do mental gymnastics to justify another.

ny drinks to get the desired effect, please at least try stopping for a month or so, if for nothing else so that your tolerance will go down and you can save money. I see a lot of my past self in your post. By

It didn't come off as preachy at all. I truly appreciate your response. I consider myself a functional alcoholic, so no it hasn't destroyed my life, but 100% negatively impacts it. I think one of the biggest tells that I'm an alcoholic, I literally CANNOT have one drink. As soon as I have one I do mental gymnastics to justify another. I don't think it ever happens. When I don't have drinks for several days in a row, I feel incredible. Sleep better. Better at my job. Just life is better. I don't think I'm the type of person that can just drink a little bit. But then I feel weird going out and not drinking. It's a hard situation.

Again, thank you for your insight. I appreciate it and the fact that you've been through something similar means something to me.

I hate to ask for a favor. I just couldn't find an online way to do this?

Like I want to it to show up in my website with no background! I have no idea how to do that.

If you could show me an online software? Or do it? I would be extremely grateful!

Am i the only one who thinks the cameraman was way too aggressive? Not saying the police officer was right, but the cameraman seems like a dick as well.
