I'm a marketer and I'm having a hard time getting my clients to listen to me.

I have been in marketing for 10 years now. I've worked with hundreds of clients and have been able to increase their sales by over $1 million each year.

But every time I go into a meeting with a new client, they ignore everything I say. They just want to talk about their product. They don't seem interested in learning how to market it better.

What's your favorite example of a product that you don't understand how they even pitched it to the CEO? My current favorite is this bottle of water that says "lo cal." Hahaha

Been a coach at the collegiate level for 6 years. Make a $65k salary. Want to leave coaching and break into sales/marketing/recruiting/consulting. I have ample leadership and recruiting experience with a strong work ethic.

I’m assuming I’m going to have to take a pay cut and start toward bottom of totem pole. Any recommendations/advice on roles to apply for since I’m new to the field? Would like to be in tech if possible in Charlotte, NC or remote.

New to this job. Cant tell if I’m doing well or just okay. How do you know when you’re doing well at work?

Anyone have experience working in sales for a startup? What are things to consider? Got a recruiter contacting me about an open position very similar to what I do now, at a startup.

My company covers in depth results each week, including meetings set/attended, wins, revenue, retention etc. I feel as if evaluating in such depth is detrimental to the psyche, as you never get to “ride the high.” In addition, some weeks are simply slower than others, and it’s not always representative of what the results at the end of the period or quarter will be. Is this not a big deal, and I’m I placing too much importance on it? Or is it beneficial to review results less frequently?

Any designers wanna help me out with my portfolio? Everything is done, I just need some feedback to know how to improve it. I'd be very happy if you could help out!

Hi all. First message here but hoping someone for some guidance from the community. Looking to land my first AM role. I have 8 years in Sales (New Home Developer/Builder) experience. But no direct AM experience. I live in Phoenix, AZ. If anyone has any company recommendations, or pointers, it would be MUCH APPRECIATED!

How long is too long to be an intern? I've been interning for about a 1 year and half now at 4 different agencies. All extended me until I'd leave for another agency. I was told bad timing/layoffs

Thoughts on Code and Theory? What’s the creative strategy team like?

Question for Sales leaders who’ve said “I did an analysis and concluded we just need more at bats”.

Does it feel like you’re saying something useful? Or are you also writing a book titled “In order to get rich you just need more money”?

I was recently hired by my dream agency. I get creative freedom, flexible hours, and I can work from home if I feel like it. Always keep looking for better opportunities, you never know when one might show up!

What would you do?
My company contracts a web developer, we have a set amount of hours for the quarter and pay over if more work is needed.
He never gets anything done. Doesn’t answer emails half the time. The one thing he’s done was take out a blurb that threatened our eligibility for patent renewal.
We have another company taking over in January, but I still have some pretty important dev needs until then and I can’t get him to do a thing. I truly try to give him all he needs.

Tech startup or big tech company? And why?

I got into marketing because I thought it would be an opportunity to make good money in a field where I could still exercise my creativity, but I’ve found it to be extremely stifling and bogged down by bureaucracy. Does it ever get better?

Good morning all I hope all is well. Just wanted to pick your brains with a question. Cloud Engineer Bootcamp vs Self Study for Certifications vs Getting a Masters in Cloud Computing. Say the person is currently a Help Desk Support staff.

I'm asking for a friend that posed the question to me so I wanted to get others perspectives.

Say the focus is AWS and the individual has a Bachelor's in Computer Science. Which do you recommend that they go into now?

I wish normal people thought what we do for a living is as cool as we think it is

How do you handle a class who refuses to do homework? It is a lower level class (I.e. not honors) but they are capable, but so apathetic. On a good day 40-50% of kids will do it .. I’m at a loss.

Anyone have any advice on who to contact for merch/apparel related gigs? Preferably in the music or sports industry. Recommendations for agencies that focus on this are also greatly appreciated!

Y'all wanna do a happy hour soon?

How much should a senior email designer/developer make? I make 77k USD and feel like I’m underpaid. 😕

“They aren’t getting it.” Well, duh! If you would take a moment and actually help with the activity instead of watching them struggle they might get it! Small groups is to practice new skills!!!

Hello Fishes,

I currently hold offers from below:
IBM - 15.5 LPA
CTS - 18.5 LPA
PWC India - 16 LPA
Oracle Financial Services Software(OFSS) - 21 LPA

Planning to join OFSS as I will work in product development team and can work in any shift timings with WFH.

Today I had my 2nd round interview with EY GDS and got rejected.
Do I need to worry about this and feel low?
Could EY GDS would have been better instead of OFSS?

Please provide your valuable inputs.
