Basically title, do you guys typically invite vendors for most of your purchases or do the reaching out on your own to most companies?

I’m trying to figure out where I’d like to be over the next few years, and I’d like to get into an industry that has strong long-term growth and a higher chance of staying stable.

The siteground renewal is $450 for the gogeek for 1 year. I do like siteground and only have 1 website but plan to have around 5. Any suggestions? Seems kind of expensive.

I was never at a top tech sales company, but I worked at a pretty decent one. I’ve been seeing how much the industry is changing with AI, especially when it comes to outbound sales. So much of tech sales relies on cold outreach, and with AI phone screeners and automated emails flooding inboxes, it seems a lot harder to reach people than it used to be.

I’m thinking about making the switch to insurance, preferably commercial insurance. Is it realistic to make $100K+ in your first year if you’re willing to work hard and put in the hours? Any advice for someone looking to break into the industry?

I know the game has changed ever since everyone started using ai for outreach and now so many prospects use phone screeners and ai to find what they need or compare competitors

Was in tech sales for a bit now wondering if I should become a LO. Would love to hear others experiences.

Edit: would love to hear what you sold in tech before and if it was easier or harder compared to what your doing now and compensation differences

I do diaphragm breathing for about 30 minutes to 1 hour a day and it has helped my digestion so much. I have been doing it for close to 2 months now. But I noticed it makes it feel like my nervous system is overwhelmed the rest of the day I will even wake up around 7am every day and can't go back to sleep for 1-2 hours. Even makes me feel like im having tremors sometimes.

Not sure if anyone else has felt this way. What to do?

I have been diaphragm breathing for about 1 hour a day usually 20 min split into 3 times.

Im 26M and have been dealing with this issue ever since late 2019, literally every single day. Symptoms: random anxiety, muscle loss, brain fog, bloating, constipation, slowed metabolism.

Now that I have been diaphragm breathing for about 2 months I can tolerate WAYYYY more foods that use to cause me anxiety, mainly heavy fiber stuff, vegetables, dried dates, corn, gums etc.. but now I can tolerate them 90% better. Even the brain fog and bloating/gas reaction from the foods

But still, my metabolism has not changed, and my brain fog and bloating baseline has not recovered.

Why?

Just for everyone who asks, sometimes i feel more anxious when diaphram breathing temporarily, just if you do it make sure you dont push out too hard otherwise your doing it wrong from i know, definitely learn from an expert and not from me.

Why?

Buyers are nonexistent these days, no responses, people not picking up the phone, every sales cycle seems to be delayed and delayed, I am not saying these things were not in sales before, because they always were, but feels like everything got 100x worse ever since ai started to really get big

I dont see anything medically wrong and have seen way too many doctors.

I feel like im in flight or flight, and unfortunately even though i know how to deal with being anxious, something is keeping my system stuck.

Has anyone experienced this or know anyone who has?

Its causing me to have digestive issues and muscle loss because now when I workout I dont get a pump since my body is already "stressed".

I have been box breathing for a few weeks now and only see minimal change, and if I do it too much my system goes more haywire.

My body is stuck in fight or flight, no matter how well I handle my random anxiety. I have lost muscle and went from 170lb to 120lb because I can't hold the muscle anymore, even though I can eat enough calories. The only thing that slows down the anxiety is staying away from certain foods, like dried dates, corn, vegetables, gums, gluten, dairy, mainly heavy fiber stuff and certain carbs. I do fine with meats and fats. Probiotics without prebiotics help too. Although this helps, it doesn't get rid of it and when I workout I can't get a pump like I used to.

All this started happening right before or after one day I was going up the stairs and fell and hit my head on the hard floor, but the problem is I don't remember if it happened right before or right after so I do not want to blame it on that. I do not feel any pain.

I have done GI map tests, food sensitivity and seen so many gi, primary and other specialists but unfortunately I cant figure this out.

I have gastroparesis but i truly believe that is cause I am always in fight or flight.

Please pray for me.

Magnesium glycinate — mild relaxation

Chamomile tea — calming effect

Red light therapy — nothing

Candibactin AR + BR — initial small improvement then plateau

Glutamine — minimal change

Digestive enzymes — no difference

Peppermint oil — no difference

Psyllium husk — severe bloating

Apple cider vinegar — burning sensation

Ginger — stomach burning without motility benefit

Methylated B vitamins — anxiety

Breathwork / vagus nerve exercises — maybe helps a bit?

Betaine HCL — burning

Also have done a lot of testing with primary cares and specialist and everything comes normal.

Did anyone work with any famous ones?

There are certain foods after I eat them, that will make me feel tired, depressed, anxious and give me brain fog. At first I thought it may be sibo, but the reactions are strongest 12-24 hours after. Why!?! Foods like dates, corn, vegetables, gums, usually heavy fiber stuff. Meats and fats usually do not this.

Can someone explain this science!?!

I would like to make the move from tech sales, and become a loan officer. The thing is, I prefer to cold call rather than meet a bunch of realtors and go to events. I can easily do 100 dials a day, would I be able to do well in this day and age?
