I see, whole other game than outbound sales, which is what I'm used to. So much to learn about the field of sales haha

6mo so I had to be on hold for 2 hours just to get one company letter faxed to me (they don't email). I used a free fax service online to receive it

What's the funnel look like at a high level?

Don't sleep on LinkedIn outreach for validating ideas. I've gotten about a 15% response rate on 1000 connection requests in the past 2 months. It's amazing. You guys have to try it. Use the trial or borrow a friend's account

Where does the rest run on, and how did you separate it exactly

Do you prefer take-homes over live interviews?

Where did you find these people?

Reading webtoons and slothing around all day is oddly enjoyable. Wish I was productive, but I'm having more fun than I thought being on constant vacation mode

Interesting story. My first ever user was a kind lawyer who was making 0 profit for 2.5 years (his wife was the breadwinner).

He caught a few bugs for us too which must've been embarrassing for him. Early users are by nature peculiar, haha. I love em

This history geek approves 👍

My teammate was onboarding a new customer to the HR platform. But then all the screens showed no data. Quite embarrassing, had to end the call early. The issue was because there was two accounts for the same company. The latter was mistakenly made. Woopsies

You will start based on just one customer request? Doesn't sound time efficient

Why exactly?

The closest I've come across are lightning bolt programmers

Very talented but inconsistent and unreliable

I'm guessing a co-working space

Where did you find this video?

I love this but where are these people from

I lead a team of three other devs. We just left our previous startup idea, and are searching for our next one. We are 120h/week of total dev capacity. All decent peeps. Dm if anyone has something we could join.

Having all the free time in the world, but no project that you are excited and focused on, makes the world seem like a boring place. It's hard to find the thing that gets you excited to wake up every morning...

The team is more active on twitter I believe

The life has times of action and times of lull

Rn I am in the latter

What did you use

How to you find gigs

Windsurf does this by searching for related files

What company is it?

Do you prefer working in a team? I do

Must be bittersweet to leave

How so?

I was thinking how I woke up so late haha

Right. I wonder if there are any examples of an underdog dethroning the market leader.

Netflix vs blockbuster comes to mind. The former was a radically different approach, because they only mailed movies

If they have total market dominance, then it's quite intimidating to face them. Even if they have an ancient UI.

Saw this in the legal market with WealthCounsel. They have scammy business practices too, one lawyer I demoed to told me they forced him to buy two licenses when he is one guy.
