Two questions? Are you in the USA? Are you getting a true commission, as in a percentage of the sale or contract value or are you just getting a bonus / referral / finder's fee? Commissions are not normal for consultants at c

In many instances I would argue relationships in the B2B sale are more important than price. I have both lost and won many deals because of only the relationship. Just recently a fairly large one we lost had a fantastic ROI, about a 10% ram

It always has potholes. Have been there several times and you can tell they patch it but the heavy excavation vehicles and the temperature probably play a big part. City folk underestimate what true darkness really is, and each time I have

All the comments and the story seem to be coming from people that have been around sales or briefly touched it but never been full in a sales position. It's definitely true that "enterprise" sales has a different sales cycle

"A gallon of milk costs a farmer approximately $1.90 to produce, but in the last year, farmers have been receiving as little as $1.35 per gallon." If it cost more to make it than they are getting, why are milk prices not higher?

I've had this same conversation but concerning ages when normal things happen. Look at when people got married and had children in 1860 vs 1960 vs 2018. In this short amount of time people went from having children being normal from 12

Where do you live to have 25% loss to taxes from the state + City? Your marginal is 25% to fed... Is this those weird PA taxes? 50% is lol material or you are getting scammed by your accountant.

For sure, my area doesn't allow glass or paper and there's some weird thing about cardboard, has to be brown or white only or something like that. So we recycle plastics (you can do numbers 1-5 now!) and brown cardboard in the pro

Skylake cpu? Which model? Assuming using 32GB dimms to use all six lanes (if Skylake)? This is something that has bit me a few times - most Skylake cpus have 6 lanes, so balanced is 192, 384, etc. Not 4 lanes like we are used to! Would also

Congrats on the release. VLC, or "the cone", as some non-technical people call it is a household name. We have not been able to use it as a verb yet but when you can answer so many questions with "just use VLC" you know

Not in reality in the corporate space. Maybe AMD has a chance in commercial unless this destroys Intel but probably won't. Intel is the only x86 cpu I've seen my customers not have issues with. People are moving off power and spar

I disagree with their suggestion to comment out or remove old PHP code. People need to have a date and timestamp at their top of the articles AND state what version of PHP they are coding for. Information on older version should not be prun
