Why is it always the IT Security people? lmao


Forgive me if this post breaks the rules, I'll delete if that's the case. But My GOD, what is wrong with people like this? This dude would absolutely NOT have a job, profession, or career without the existence of salespeople.


So you're going to threaten my company and "call me out"? Call me out to who? The very people that employ me to do the very thing you think you "got me" on? hahahahahahahahahah...


What a loser, there's just no other word to describe folks like this. LOSERS.

They always are senior titles, often have no idea how their own company sells, and act like we've committed high treason by accessing their data. Oh, and their info was likely scraped into ZoomInfo, Apollo, etc., by their own team via his signature.

The wild part to me is the fact that any cold outreach isn't even to try to sell something right off the bat. It's to find out if the prospects organization is facing any of the issues that the sellers product helps solve. Dude is out here saying that any type of outreach is a Geneva Code violation, when it is as simple as

"Hey Steve, I'm Mothy from Blah Blah. We work with a lot of IT Security professionals, and the common issues I hear from them are x,y,z. Any of those on your radar?"

"No."

"Ok, no worries, If any of these come up, feel free to give me a call."

This reminds me of those bad dating profiles that are like, "If you're a fugly fatty and a feminist b*^*#, I'm not interested"

It's like, "Bro, your profile is supposed to be about you. Is your entire identity hating salespeople?"

To be fair, at least you know he’s not worth your time or energy to reach out to and you can cross him off the list to pursue other people within the company.

Security people are always standoffish. I think they’re so scared to be the one to leak any data that causes an issue it turns them into ass holes. This guy is a whole new extreme though.

Sales Savages United. What if we all unite and start prospecting this guy hard for the following couple of weeks?

Two calls, VM, and two emails per day. I don’t think he’d mind.

Listen, Stephen.

If you only wanted to make a LI profile to attach your name to a glorified DNC list request, you’re wasting your time.

As a network security pro, you should know that no footprint is a safer bet. All you’ve done here is make yourself a target.

Buckle up.

1) They count themselves among the engineers at their company, but they’re not. Because the know this to be true on the inside, their very being is propped up by resentment and self-loathing.
2) They are sequestered away from others in dark cold rooms to babysit machines that are constantly under attack (depending on the company) with no ability to fight back because the 15 year old hacker in Russia or China is infinitely more talented than they are. Again with the resentment and self-loathing, but add on some paranoia.
