  > My challenge is seeking good resources for the business skills. I'm doing sales for a passion project for the first time, and it's teaching me a lot. I'm just confused still on why it feels so hard and why I can't find an easier way. Sales are going to be drowned by AI soon enough. The low end is already getting yeeted by webshops, dropshippers and AI powered bots and a lot of B2C and B2B sales are shifting off of the classic representative sales model as well (towards self-service) because everyone that does not is cheaper. Basically if I have the choice between a SaaS that says "contact for a quote" and "X users => Y $/month", I'll always go with the latter option. And on top of that comes offshoring, that has gotten surprisingly good with ever increasing voice call quality.

    Ah. My strategy has been going in to in-person shops, as I'm targeting service businesses with my project. I don't think you can ever beat that in person trust and chemistry. Though, also, I think it helps still when I am comparing products as you said "X users => Y $/month" and I have a vibe that I trust one product more than the other I'd go for the one I trust more. And that level of proximity, humanity, empathy maybe? That isn't being approached very well by these AI or offshore services and probably never will. Thoughts?
