    As someone who works in marketing. We are not ignorant to how people operate and how to get in front of them. Go to the sentence that “Management makes most of the decisions”. We’ll be aiming for the people who actually buy things. Unfortunately in B2B sales that is usually the CEO/CFO/VP who has very little time to read and learn and would rather someone call and explain everything to make a problem go away. Typically they are of an older generation and hate digital media and wouldn’t be caught dead on Reddit.

    That said, I always say honestly sells itself. Embellishing the truth or straight up lies will only get you so far and it’s typically short term gains.

    Agency’s love scummy marketing tactics. This because it’s good numbers to them and they could give a fuck what it does to the client. They just want them to see that the graph goes up sharply for the first month and than silently bleed them dry as it flattens out and they can push more tricks or services to make graph go up again.

    Inhouse teams (like me) can’t shit where they eat, so have a more genuine strategy for the long term. We are vested in the well-being of our company.

    I’m not sure if I should be labeled as an introvert or not. I just hate small talk and don’t really care to get to know people unless they interest me. Not many people interest me, because I find people just bitch about the same things or the only thing they have to talk about is sports team, weather, or TV thing.

    People who say I’m quiet, just don’t know I hate talking to them. I won’t shut up around the 2-3 people I actually like. I never had a problem throwing myself into social settings or just conversing with strangers. I’m typically the one coordinating people to get together.

    I’m either the less introvert of the introvert group or maybe I’m a sociopath?

    Anyhow I shut down conversations like OP all the damn time, just because I don’t want to talk to that person in particular or I’m in a hurry.

    Lifts-Her-Tail
    Certainly not, kind sir! I am here but to clean your chambers.

    Crantius Colto
    Is that all you have come here for, little one? My chambers?

    Lifts-Her-Tail
    I have no idea what it is you imply, master. I am but a poor Argonian maid.

    Crantius Colto
    So you are, my dumpling. And a good one at that. Such strong legs and shapely tail.

    Lifts-Her-Tail
    You embarrass me, sir!

    Crantius Colto
    Fear not. You are safe here with me.

    Lifts-Her-Tail
    I must finish my cleaning, sir. The mistress will have my head if I do not!

    Crantius Colto
    Cleaning, eh? I have something for you. Here, polish my spear.

    Lifts-Her-Tail
    But it is huge! It could take me all night!

    Crantius Colto
    Plenty of time, my sweet. Plenty of time.


    Lifts-Her-Tail
    My goodness, that’s quite a loaf! But how ever shall it fit my oven?

    Crantius Colto
    This loaf isn’t ready for baking, my sweet. It has yet to rise.

    Lifts-Her-Tail
    If only we could hurry that along. How would I accomplish such a task?

    Crantius Colto
    Oh, my foolish little Argonian maid, you must use your hands.

    Lifts-Her-Tail
    You wish me to kneed the loaf? Here?

    Crantius Colto
    Of course.

    Lifts-Her-Tail
    But what if the mistress catches me? Your loaf was meant to satisfy her appetite.

    Crantius Colto
    Don’t fret, my delicate flower. I’ll satisfy the mistress’s cravings later.

    Lifts-Her-Tail
    Very well, but I’m afraid my oven isn’t hot enough. It could take hours!

    Crantius Colto
    Plenty of time, my sweet. Plenty of time.



  • For those of who worked at certain restaurants, you might have experienced a dedicated group of 75+ friends and yes they do meet at the same place everyday. In fact when we were closed they’d camp outside in the parking lot in lawn chairs.

    The exact same group of geriatrics… every single day. Honestly it was sad to see one missing and not come back because you knew why.
