Twitter is selling at $45, a $10 move is 22%. That's insane pressure.

You should take a look at Acton. It’s Montessori-like but much more modern and with a focus on self-determination and entrepreneurship. Our five year old was playing at the park a week ago and chatted with another little girl about their re

Those accusations and rumors were paid for by the DNC [1] and ultimately found to be false [2]. Crimea was invaded under Obama. Russia made no expansionist moves under Trump. The current conflict was started under Biden. Hate Trump all you

Yes, a three-letter acronym is incapable of expressing every nuance of a complex interpersonal dance. ABC is about sales and marketing driving towards the close. It doesn't mean you turn a cold call into "Hi, my name is James, buy

It's a start. You start with 10 calls. You learn from them and build an email to send to 100 people. You book more calls and then take the feedback and put it into a social media post and get 1000 more. Then you take what you learn the

As in, what is "sales"? It's the presentation of that offer. That might be an offer for a product, for companionship, for an intimate coupling. All of those are a form of sales.

by sanedigital 5y ago
That's still sales. People focus on "bad" sales, but "good" sales is about being honest about the capabilities of your offering and finding people who honestly need it. It's a bad practice long-term (both in bu

You don't need to start with a $1M+ Super Bowl Ad. Find 10 people, call them, learn what they need, educate them about your offer, take their feedback back to your product. The earlier you can start that process the better, without exc

It's common everywhere, I think. There's just a general, pervasive myth around "discovery". Famous artists, great products, even people with enviable romantic situations—most folks think these things were just "disc

Like another poster said, Hotmail offered free email accounts. Google offered 1GB of storage. Both of those things are "marketing".

It's not. It's a reminder that all of your sales and marketing efforts are wasted if you're not actually pushing towards a sale. Calls to action, follow ups, using funnels—all of these are things that increase an individual&#

The inconvenient truth for the anti-advertising crowd is that modern digital advertising is one of the most democratizing forces in business history. I can develop an offer in minutes and spend less than $20 to get *thousands* of eyeballs o

> You are the one who needs to prove that without ads people won't get what they want. This is the default mode for startups. It results in failure. "If you build it, they will come," doesn't work in the marketplace.

Most successful startups provide products or services that address problems that lack solutions, where the solutions aren't sufficient, or where they cause additional problems. When these new, "disruptive" products emerge, th

Ads are extremely successful for high-ticket offers. If you'll selling a multi-thousand dollar product or service, you can afford a lot of impressions to get just the few clicks that convert for you.

There's a difference though between identifying variety from a random sample and knowing what you like. While non-experts often have trouble describing their preferences, they don't have trouble identifying them. A wine drinker

There are yeasts that can survive in ~20% alcohol solutions. Most red wines are in the 10-15% range, while there might be some residual sugar, the wine is considered “dry” and there won’t be much or any perceived sweetness. Sweet reds do

I’m a Certified Sommelier and I’m going to have to say agree to disagree. Yes, region is important. But varietal is by far the critical piece when predicting what a wine is going to taste like. Do some Merlots taste more like Cabs? Sure. Is

I’ll agree with you that Silver Oak rates dead last. But “cheap” wines with residual sugar often outperform other wines in taste tests because the sugar throws the test. It’s hard to compete against the brain’s response to glucose!

Sure, and Sancerre Rouge likewise has varietal requirements.

In most years it’s at least 40% of the blend. If you’re saving a wine that’s 40% Merlot and you hate Merlot, that’s on you.

I did say “pretty much any red wine you’d be drinking,” which rules out Barefoot (hopefully).
