Some of the biggest lunatics on LinkedIn are the retired folks
The true LinkedIn lunatics are the retired people on the platform. Nothing to gain, just posting out of pure love for the game

How does an “9-9-6” company work for sales?
There are a bunch of 996 AI startups popping up all over the place these days, many of which are 996 companies. How does this work for their salespeople? Customers don’t want to talk after 4pm and definitely not on Saturdays. Do 996’s exist for sales even within these types of companies?

Fun personas to sell to
Currently selling a tool used by developers and realized that I really dislike selling to engineers. I’ve sold to customer service and IT, but by far developers are the least fun persona I’ve sold to so far.
What are some fun personas to sell to that are livelier and friendlier? I’d imagine maybe marketing? Anyone have positive experiences?

I swear 90% of my recruiter messages say the same thing
Who is responding to these recruiters? Their emails and LI messages all say the same dam thing everytime:
“Hi Firstname, I’m working with a company that I won’t list and the comp is insane, 100% of reps made over $1M+ and it’s the best company ever. Take a call with me even though I’m giving you no valuable information”
Does anyone actually respond to these?

How do you protect your wealth from hackers/scams etc
Passed $1M NW a while ago and feels like I’ve got a lot more to lose these days. I’m always feeling paranoid as if a hacker or someone can just find my social security number and take on debt or hack into my accounts.
How do you all protect your wealth?

Rubrik or MongoDB?
I have an offer from Rubrik and MongoDB. Does anyone know about their cultures? Both seem a bit like grind shops, but there seems to be money to be made from both. Both have stock with upsides.
Wondering which one would be less of a grind shops. Anyone here have an educated opinion?

What the heck are these Deel reps yapping about?
As a professional salesperson, it would be embarrassing for me to yap and complain about my SDR when my customers are in HR.
I somewhat get why Gong reps do it (though pubescent, their customers are generally sales), but pretty lame for Deel reps

Lazy sales makes people lose business or
Crazy how lazy some sales people can be. This guy is clearly a hot buyer with a company that is growing super fast (went from 2 —> 3 employees in just a year).
It’s probably a Salesforce rep who could’ve made a lot of money from this deal….Salespeople should be doing deep and thorough research for every conversation, especially when talking to a FOUNDER of a 2–>3 person business. This is where they should spend their time.

Beware, you will lose business if you do this
If you cold call people, you will lose business. Datadog just lost the business of this 26-person business by cold calling.
Glad this person is telling salespeople what works and what doesn’t. He is clearly a genius at sales.

Currently work for a playbook company that tracks all metrics with a focus on calls and meetings. The problem is that times where I’m focused on closing a deal, I’ll neglect cold calling or meeting up with people just for the sake of meeting in order to get a deal done. This leads to a conversation about why I didn’t meet my metrics that week, which i hate.
How do you care less about these dumb arbitrary metrics when your company is focused on them?
