or is it only being built so they can launder money through it?

I think it's listening. Because then you can accurately assess and help solve whatever problem the potential customer has, rather than just going on a spiel.

(but I've seen some people make big numbers happen from just not shutting the f up until a lead caves in to whatever they're saying LOL)

Everyone has their own style of selling, so would love to hear your POVs 🤔

Been looking to buy a semi truck trailer from Arthur Sebastian, haven't been able to reach the business in forever. Anyone know if they changed the company name and number??

Since I kind of just invented my business and fee structure when I started out, I never knew what was THE way to charge for advice.

Sometimes I ask for flat fees and upfront retainers, but mostly I like charging a percentage of their monthly business.

(I also accept other resources, products, information, favors--depending on the situation)

How does everyone else do it?

Wondering if there are even better ways I haven't thought of 🤔

(as well as reverting back to normal human interaction)

highkey wish we could go back to 2004 lol

anyone else miss the good old days of minimal tech in our day to day?

Like the kind of thing that ONLY served to amuse/prove to yourself and others that damn, you really DO know things without proof

Longest for me was like 3-4 months

If it's a person and you say that, you'd be wrong anyway.

But if it's indeed a bot, you saying that won't "annoy" it. Lol

I'm curious what your objective is 🤔

Sometimes it's correlation, sometimes it's causation:

for me, I no longer pay for any online monthly subscriptions, and the only thing I have "automated" in my life is my free calendly booking page for my clients

I only doomscroll at home and a lot less than I used to by an avg of 6-10 hours less per week

I carry around a flip phone for regular life and work

This one isn't a change, but it's aberrant to people that I continue to write all my own correspondence and do my own writing and work like I always have 🤷🏻‍♂️

I've always loved research, studying, and investigation. Mostly I see sci or med research jobs, but what other kinds of opportunites are out there?

RE LinkedIn

It's crazy how if you try to help candidates with their applications and job search TOO much, all of a sudden companies reach out to tell you to take their PUBLIC information down, so that candidates don't dare get a leg up in their job hunting.

If any of you job seekers are applying, and looking for publicly available information to reach out to internal teams, message me privately, I have a TON of info to share.

Public business contacts, phone numbers, emails, etc. Or I can teach you which resources I use to acquire this information yourself, FOR FREE.

DMs open. I'm happy to help.

Mine were:

Julie Andrews

Lucille Ball

Meryl Streep

Johnny Depp

At the time I had a printout list of all their movies to check them off as I watched each lol

I use to think I had writer's block, until I realized my real problem was that I had SO many ideas, that the overwhelm of which to start first was keeping me from writing at all...

We get feelings about things for a reason.

But we’re told not to trust our own instincts. Instead, pay us a fee and absolve yourself of the responsibility of the results.

That goes for everything. Pretty much all fields of business, particularly the conceptual ones.

We don’t want to take the blame, or bear the brunt of consequences if we decide to trust our instincts. The most natural skill there is, and we would rather not have to be trusted with it.

And that’s why the entire world, particularly the working world, is made of scapegoating protocols and procedures, so that one one ever has to be held to their own words. That to me, seems like the real treason in the world. Betraying thyself.

If you can’t be trusted with honoring your own self, how could you ever be trustworthy with the confidence of others?
