The Re-Train Blue to Cold Call Thread

[Mama Blue]

It'd be a 1099 but I assume you don't want records, that costs me money btw.

Uh yeah.

Only gonna be putting in 2 hrs per day.
As per my health plus 3/4 doc apps per week.
Can't kill my social security 800$ per month income.

Anyone else hired someone so hostile to having an opportunity? Maybe it's not that good . At least Filipinas pretend that want to work for me.

Wow. I'm being "hostile" because I can only work 2 hours per day?

How many hours per day of work does your wife work?...? ill wait...

I told you this last time.

There is a reason that I'm on disability, on palliative care. I have congestive heart failure, lupus, diabetes, pulmonary fibrosis.

Have you ever thought
She might need to nap.
She has house cleaning responsibilities.
She doesn't feel well.
Shes in the hospital.
She has up to 4 doctors appointments per week and with travel can take entire afternoons.

That's right. I forgot. Your wife can't work.

I don't want your fucking job.
Go shove it up your ass.
Don't ever speak to me again.

Ok. I just typed an entire response which got accidentally deleted...

This is exactly what I meant by not doing this on a message board...
You're asking everyone here if they'd ever dealt with someone who wasn't jumping up and down for an opportunity given to them? Really?

But I can give you a taste of your own medicine...
When was the last time your wife worked?

Formulate your response, I'll wait.

Oh that's right, she has IC, so she has to stay at home and be a sick wifey...

I also have cysts in my bladder, along with a catheter stabbing into them, along with a UTI every other week bc of the catheter.

I have congestive heart failure, lupus (and I'm in a flare up), fibromyalgia, myofascial pain syndrome, diabetes, pulmonary fibrosis etc...

You don't think I need to rest?
I've been told that im in the final 5 years of my life, if not the final 2.

I have 3-4 doc appts per week.
Plus atleast 1 emergency doc appt per week.
Plus travel time, I often have zero afternoons left in my days.
So I was going to try cold calling
Mid-late morning...

I'm also dealing with pressure sores
From sitting in my wheelchair

But you didn't think of that when you wanted to insult my work ethic.

So you can stick your opportunity where the sun don't shine.

We're done here.

[Mama Blue]

Shit.

2 responses.

Fuck it, it's 5am.

Ok so fill in the blanks Jonesy.
What does Jira have to do with AI automated sales?

No idea

I am developing a self-paced course to prepare teens and young adults prior to a rewarding career in the food service industry. I will also be running this program exclusively on Jolt Country, so I hope it's cool I linked here from my LinkedIn account and put this thread on my business v-cards.

The first thing we will be covering is the importance of a clean uniform. Shirts should be tucked in, a belt should be worn, and a name tag must be displayed at all times. Tennis shoes with a non-skid sole are best, as prep areas can occasionally be slippery. Personal hygiene is also important -- we'll be going into specifics later, but as a representative of any food-related business, you represent the company and are often the first thing a customer sees when entering a restaurant, so things like neatly trimmed facial hair and a clean haircut are important. Before you leave for work, take a look at yourself in a full length mirror and ask, is this the type of person I want to buy a McRib from?

[Mama Blue]

This is from last week. This is normal for me. I am sick 90% of the time , that's why I was only going to be working 2 hours per day. I explained it to you last time. You said "no problem."

[Mama Blue]

So yeah, I have fluid in my lungs and between my left lung and the chest cavity.
It hurts to breathe. Takes weeks to go away.

[Ice Cream Jonsey]

Well, I think your visualized osseous structures are VERY remarkable, friend!!!

I worked in restaurants for a decade so can absolutely contribute. The very most important thing is ABH, always be high.

You mean that wasn't sarcasm?

Thanks for the Jira intro Jonsey! I'll follow up with Salesforce.

Blue, one of the first questions you asked me when we first started talking about the possibility of working together again was "what's a CRM" which is a great question.

Salesforce is the biggest and oldest CRM on the market. We used it a bit at the party office (celebrating a beautiful bubble pop and a startup burning like a meteor to the ground).

Salesforce, like all CRMs is just a user interface on top of a database. Salesforce is still pretty much the same interface as when we used it 20 years ago except they re-skinned it using the REACT framework which allows drag and drop and auto page updates.

It's a tool where salespeople including sales engineers (are supposed to) update all their leads, contacts, opportunities, and Proof of Concepts (next post). You can import leads, contacts, and record activities and set future tasks. It's just as cumbersome now as it was back then except more complicated to set up and automate.

Almost every company of any size has Salesforce and you only need to know two things about it: salesfolk hate the work to update and companies pay lots of money to integrate and automate it.

Enter a whole ecosystem of solutions that integrated with Salesforce (which was the plan 10 years ago when Salesforce decided to "become a platform") to make it easier to work with Salesforce. Provarity is one of those. It uses Syncari to integrate and automate Salesforce, very advanced.

Other types include Sequencers/Cadencers like apollo, outreach, Salesloft, etc.

Salesforce's problem, why their stock is tanking, is their partner layer is able to replace them for a lot of use cases, including running a proof of concept and SDRing which is what we're talking about.

True sarcasm

Also in these sensitive times, they are thinking of pivoting to SalesConsent

Speaking of CRMs, one piece of machinery you will need to familiarize yourself with is the Chip Reheating Machine. The Chip Reheating Machine, or CRM, may look like nothing more than a metal bin underneath multiple heat lamps, but learning how the CRM works is imperative not only to maintain quality tortilla chips for customers, but to maintain safety as well. Because the bin is made of metal, its surfaces can get hot enough to burn skin and cause injuries. Chips should always be served from the bin from the right hand side. The bin itself contains three sections: freshly prepared chips should be added to the left. Uneaten chips from tables should be added to the right, to ensure they are recycled as quickly as possible. Regularly salting the chips in the bin will ensure high sales of soft drinks, one of the company's more profitable products.

For Proof of Concepts description, I just used ChatGPT:

Describe what a proof of concept is in software sales

In software sales, a proof of concept (POC) refers to a demonstration of a software product or solution that is provided to potential customers or clients to showcase its capabilities and to validate that it can meet their specific needs and requirements.

The proof of concept typically involves a trial version of the software that is customized to meet the specific needs of the customer or client. The POC is designed to provide a real-world example of how the software can be used, and how it can solve the client's problems or challenges.

The POC can help the software sales team to demonstrate the value of the software and convince potential customers to invest in the product or solution. It can also help to identify any potential issues or challenges that may arise during implementation, allowing the software vendor to address these concerns before a full-scale implementation is undertaken.

In summary, a proof of concept is an important part of the software sales process that allows potential customers to evaluate the software and determine whether it meets their needs and requirements.


how does a proof of concept work
A proof of concept (POC) typically involves a small-scale implementation of a software solution or product. The process usually includes the following steps:

Identify the customer's needs and requirements: The software sales team works with the potential customer to understand their specific needs and requirements. This step is crucial in identifying the features and functionalities that need to be demonstrated in the POC.

Develop a customized solution: Based on the customer's needs and requirements, the software sales team will develop a customized solution using the trial version of the software. This step involves configuring the software to meet the specific requirements of the customer.

Install the solution: The software solution is installed on the customer's environment or a demo environment provided by the software vendor. This step allows the customer to test and evaluate the software in a real-world environment.

Demonstrate the solution: The software sales team will provide a demonstration of the software solution to the customer. This step may involve showing how the software can solve specific business problems or how it can streamline existing workflows.

Evaluate the results: After the demonstration, the customer evaluates the results and provides feedback on the solution's effectiveness. This feedback may include identifying any areas for improvement or additional features that may be required.

Determine the next steps: Based on the results of the POC, the customer will decide whether to move forward with the full-scale implementation of the software solution or not. If the customer decides to proceed, the software sales team will work with them to plan and execute the implementation.

Overall, a proof of concept is an effective way for software vendors to demonstrate the value of their product to potential customers and validate that it can meet their specific needs and requirements.Eric Farnham
