The first rule in enterprise sales is that the first human reaction will always be “No.” The former CEO of Routeware before he sold it to Vista Equity Partners said that he required his sales team to secure three clear “No’s” for each buyer

Whoa buddy. That’s a hell of an assumption. 1. Manufacturing does not happen in America anymore. 2. The proliferation of counterfeiters does not allow dropshippers to scale to a meaningful size. Everyone is game to Alibaba. Within our indus

This is awful. The fact that they wouldn’t at least offer some nominal fee is immoral and beyond the pale. I hope they’re able to raise funds to litigate a settlement.

White collar workers on HN feign moral outrage at executive pay all while… ..collecting their 401k and equity grants as shareholders. You see we all “want change” as long as we get to keep our houses, 401k profits and position in society.

I too am concerned with the bear problem in America. They flout our laws and they’re always illegally crossing our borders! We need stronger politicians who would construct a wall to keep the bears out.
