    Where did I go wrong?? Lost a huge sale

    HOT! 
    So, I find out today that this restaurant DID NOT go with that other company. Or any other company for that matter! I got my friend the gig there (after me pitching my gig and friend shooting over there later) for doing their PoS systems. He asked the manager why he didn't want to consider my...

    @IrishSpring600 @RHL great analogies! I revised my pricing and sales pack completely. Going to hit the field and see how that plays out. @Get Right No I did not... Was a cold sales drop-in. Maybe I should use my truck for cold drop-ins

    HOT! 
    @Get Right I've read a few of your posts on sales, you have some great insight. This has not happened before. I'm learning as I go. Lesson learned? Ask if they have been shopping the market? If what numbers have they come up with and from who? Have a proposal sheet so you can write the proposal...

    Will reevaluate what my competitors are up to. @jason91 i meant +-500 to the customer. I would be making around 150% on the deal, after the cost of the equipment. And 50% of that would go to buy new equipment for the next customer, so that would leave me with a 100% profit from the cost of the...

    Hey guys. Seems like everything was going well. Both parties seemed to understand what was needed. I think I know where I went wrong, but is that the only factor? I dropped in to this new restaurant going up and told them about how we install cameras. The owner was very cool and down to earth...

    The music to listen to to calm your thoughts

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I have a tendency to overwhelm my brain with soooo many thoughts on sooo many different topics that I cannot focus. Which, in turn, leaves me with little work actually ever getting done. Lets call this the chill pill. Aside from stepping away (Which I like to call just run away for a little...

    I'd say 7 months ago when I lost my source of income (not my job, cant work in the field due to restrictions) but then I would be lying to myself. I've stepped my game up ever since I found out that my fiance is pregnant and when I recently found out that I did not qualify to work at this new...

    How does an app like Next Issue obtain magazine licensing?

    You CAN find anything you are looking for if you look hard enough. Research paid off ;) "Next Issue allocates payments to publishers based on how long subscribers spend consuming each magazine" http://venturebeat.com/2014/12/02/next-issue-raises-50m-to-become-a-netflix-for-digital-magazines/

    @Vigilante I'm not trying to lash out on everybody, that is not my intention. As for empathy, somebody stepped up that can relate to this issue and I appreciated that. It truly validated that I am not alone here. I am seeking help. I am taking all of this information in, learning from every...
