Day 40 of two sales jobs - WHAT THE FUCK IS UP

Whatup savages,


Im in a particularly good mood for no explicit reason. but.


  • love my 2nd job
  • love my AE I report too
  • Having lot's of conversations on LinkedIn (Bookings soon hopefully with the likes of Exxon Mobil)
  • I have not only one Job, but two, when alot of people are out of a job all together
  • I finally got a dining table after nearly a year of putting it off (Finances) because yes I was eating off the top of my rubbermaid trashcan

It's just been a crazy year. This time last year I was homeless, living out of a tent on a soul search. I took a train across the country and started a new life, broke, in debt, and now I can actually afford to eat out. I have a flipping dining room table now, I can put some money away each month, I'm investing into myself, and I can actually plan for my future and pay off debts.


Feels great being away from J1, I didn't realize how much of a buzzkill it's been the last 6 months cuz I just needed it to survive but being around a better environment has been so much better on my soul.


Spent the day doing more linkedIn shit while my AE gets the hubspot accounts and outreach process dialed in with the director. Got a bunch of connects (like 15) from that automated weconnect thing(linkedIN automation) but nothing set in stone yet - just have it set to go after my 2nd and 3rd connects in my ICP Accounts and titles.


I have 36,000 people to hit in my target market. I want to find a way to email all of them without getting blacklisted, blocked, or domain locked.


I met with another WR member here who's business it is to set up a system where he essentially


A.Pulls those thousands of people in ICP from linkedin

B. Runs it through data enrichment to get emails

C. runs it through email validator to get valid emails only

D. Runs LinkedIn campaigns to those 36000

E. Runs email campaigns to those 36000

F. Has an AI program on the backend personalizing everything to each title


He told me he is at double the sales of the next best salesperson on his team and is just lazy so thats why he built out the program, and he spends his day just fielding discovery calls.


That his Linkedin Only thing is $900 to get setup - Linkedin + Email is 1k, and LI + Email + Personalization is $3600. One time fee. Apparently the AI thing is expensive.


I believe him, but can't afford that chunk of change rn unless in payments and already working with MChan and kinda stretched as is but considering it on a payment plan maybe in a couple weeks once things die down.


ANYWAYS


Thoughts? Concerns? Appreciations?


Y'all have been super kind and supportive recently and it's warmed my heart so I wanted to share more about myself to you.


Much love,

The kid

That's a heck of a ride.

BTW - quick tip on furniture (or about anything). Yes, I know Facebook is for older people and not cool BUT - there are free stuff groups out there and people literally post "come get this desk/chair/table" and you can go get whatever it is if you like it for nothing. And in my area, it tends to be pretty good stuff!

Yeah I just cannot get or use used things. Too much potential for negative energy to be attached to it or haunted. I’m sensitive empath

For me, it would be the opposite - all the history attached to things.

Also, I have a hard time believing that used IKEA desks or someone's old Target TV stand would be compelling enough to attract and keep any energy. ;)

I like the free exchanges - I am getting geared up to start offloading some unneeded items and can't wait to see them go get used.

Good stuff!

I now have a formal dining room (fancy, yes) so am buying a proper dining room set next week. Takes time to fill a 3 bedroom, 2-storey house after coming from a one bedroom apt. (and do it properly).

That system sounds intriguing but I'd worry about LI cracking down on the automation.

It took me 6 years to find my bedroom set and retire the temporary nightstands and mismatched dressers. Patience pays off, or you'll be stuck with something that isn't quite right for years.

Exactly what I've been thinking. I got a new light fixture for the dining room and we've picked out the table/chairs.

The family room is furnished, but we also have a proper living room so we've just closed off the French doors to keep the animals out and will furnish that slowly so we can do it right. Furniture got so expensive with COVID. The couch I want is now 1.5x what it was when I found it

You should have seen the ...horror...that was our dining room lighting fixture when I moved in. It would actually be perfect in a Victorian, but not my contemporary home. We found nice sconces and I found a fixture that worked with them, and asked for it as a birthday present, boom, done. (Put the other light on consignment and frankly I don't honestly care if I don't see a dime from a sale - it's out of my house and not in storage in my garage).

That said, keep your eyes open. Sometimes home consignment stores get something perfect, sometimes it's Costco (of all places).

Nothing wrong with mismatched/temp furniture until you're settled and/or find something perfect, or perfect for you.

You could use a paid version of Mailchimp and throw the leads in there? 1500 leads per month for $22/month. Just put a pacer on it so it sends out 1 email every X amount of seconds or minutes so you don't get flagged.

3600 to scale your business and take discovery calls all day no brainer. What takes the longest is prospecting. YOUR TIME. I would rather focus my attention on closing then prospecting. I would request the guy shows your his track record on sales. I would do it in a heart beat!!

I'd like to do this. I need to go back and research your posts. Where is the best place to start. Did you chronicle the lead up form one position to two? How have you managed your LinkedIn?

I actually think the personalization part with AI could be skipped if it’s expensive.

What is instead you wrote super short messages to seem less spammy?

Or broke it up into industry or some other segmentation and customized to that?

you inspire me to keep my SMS career alive even though I changed careers. I'm gonna find a 2nd job.

Let's touch base once this happens and have our own 2 job rant group vent and what not.

AI personalization sounds like a dream! Can you please refer me? LI + Email + Personalization is $3600.

Nice journey, congrats. I was thinking of outsourcing some SDR work. I talked to one vendor for about 3K a month they would standup a sub domain and hit about 10K ICP emails a week. It might be more if they needed to buy the contacts. At the end of the day they are blasting but write really kick ass copy. I haven’t pulled the trigger but thought I’d share.
