To all people new to this forum

There's a pretty good chance you're gonna get corrected if you come in with your edges all polished up from FB and LI. It's unavoidable. That social environment lends likes to puffed up people parroting platitudes. The beauty of the WR, and the reason I return daily, like an obsessed child, is that this is the only place where you'll get the truth.


I got the correction on post #1 and I'm grateful for it. It's likely you will too if you come in here on your standard social soapbox. This is not a place to beat your chest or plagiarize "influencers." Come in. Speak your mind. Take the shit if you get it. Grow up. Keep it real. Learn something. There are hundreds of years of experience in here. Use it.


You may not get the advice you wanted... or the social support group you lust for. But you'll get the truth. If you can't handle it, see ya.

When I first joined the community, I found a lot of people correcting what I said - and turned out that those thoughts needed correction as well. This forum has quite a lot of experienced sales folks who have the right stuff to share with the rest of the sales folks.

Even when there would be correction, I think having an open mind helps a lot!

Definitely give and take, and absolutely not all posters are created equal. Not everyone is experienced in every field, and some people have no experience whatsoever. There is a bit of caveat emptor with some of the suggestions. The beauty of it is that you will get a range of opinions instead of an overwhelmingly superficial praise cycle.

That's right,as many new fellas we appreciate are getting nearly the same feedback on their new posts.
For whom already liked how things work here took things further and continued to post again based on that understanding,for those who didn't,I believe we barely see em posting again!
