    Is field sales still a thing?

    Always will be. I've been doing the WFH for 20 years in a Field Sales role.  I was always about 50/50 or 60/40 home office to customer facing. I probably tipped those scales to 65/35 once we had kids and moved out of NYC. I got very strategic with going to see clients/prospects face to face and really qualified my time spent. When Covid hit it wasn't much of a transition. Now I'm about to back out of a job I accepted as I don't really want to get back out there and break in a new product and category while Covid is still an issue and getting face time is still a risky prop and difficult as people are not in their offices. 

     

    Sure I'll probably have pissed this recruiter and this new company off but on the flip side I got a 15 % bump in comp and mayb issues I had with my employer are being resolved, party in effort to stave off my departure and the attrition of others. better to take a raise right now and the devil I know.

    I’ve got a question for you sales guys that are killing it:

     

    how much of your success do you attribute to you vs how much is the work you do?  IOW if I came into your job and did all the same things as you would I have 100% of your success?  90?  20?

    I’m recruiting a little bit right now and in telling people what’s available I can tell they just don’t believe me. I tell them (and honestly believe) if you just sit down and do the things I do (and I don’t work terribly hard to be honest) your results will be the same as mine. Nobody believes me. 
    I’m in an industry where 3 or 4 units a month is probably the standard but I’m doing 25 a month and I don’t think there’s anything that’s not replicable or special about me (at least not anything special about me that helps me succeed in the job). I think it’s 100% the work. 
    Anyway, looking for thoughts on this as sort of an existential question that I need to get the answer to correctly so it helps me in recruitment and managing expectations. 

    Sales is a lot science and a lot alchemy. Process and "at bats" lead to wins but some people just don't catch fire sometimes and at some places. WE just had a guy go back to Cisco, I explained the code here and what to do and it just didn't click for him. Every career 300 hitter has a 275 season

  3. It's pretty white: https://datausa.io/profile/geo/manhasset-ny

    Then again I live here: https://datausa.io/profile/geo/dix-hills-ny

     

    and the Whitest thing I can say is my neighbor across the street are black and that we are adjacent to here: https://datausa.io/profile/geo/wheatley-heights-ny and here: https://datausa.io/profile/geo/wyandanch-ny. My other two neighbors are Chinese and Greek and there are other ethnicities on our  street. Our little 22 some house nabe is pretty diverse all things being equal. Manhasset can be very white, very Persian, especially as you get closer to Great Neck. It's Jewish but not as Jappy as say Roslyn. I like it there and the proximity to the city is great. I get more bang for the buck in Dix Hills. I get great public/municipal  services, parks, and schools for the taxes I pay. The schools are great. 

    I'm just a kid from Austins 78731, good public school trash from McCallum HS.

     

    I'm 50 min in a car or the train to NYC, and the train stop while in Wyandanch is only six minutes away. I'm an hour and change to the Hamptons

    Raoul's has been booked solid.  I have been wanting to go.  It is incredibly popular.  

    You can order their Steak kits for cooking at home. I love it there and I really miss the old backroom through the kitchen.....the good old days

    I'll be 63 when my oldest graduates high school, and 65 when my youngest graduates. That's what happens when you start late.

    I'll be 64 when my twins graduate

  7. I had a Cardiac Score ( non contrast) done and the score was a 1,000. I had one done seven years ago and it was 90. that's not good. All in all my Cholesterol is fairly well in control so this is odd. Going to have a Nuclear Stress Test done next week. Oh year....they think there might be a murmur or valve issue. Fun stuff.

    The Mennonites and Christian Aid Ministries are far down the list of objectionable groups. They bring medicine and work on physical infrastructure work and do not tie it up with proselytizing or conversion efforts. 
     

    Even if you think the adults  were stupid to go there and their religion is dumb, there’s an eight month old with them that some gang leader is threatening to shoot in the head. 

    they brought an eight month old to Haiti, I'd shoot the parents

    yall use this Owlet smartsock shit?

    100% unnecessary. As are the sleeping pads that do all those measurements as well. Another poster hit the nail with the Lizard Brain comment.

    PJs: your kid will live in them and spend half their day in them up through almost age 5. If you wife washes laundry as much as mine, they will shrink, but extra. 

    Little boys live in Athletic shorts, sweats, joggers. I cannot ge tmine to wear jeans anymore. Shirts with buttons? nope.
