I grew up in a small city. Weird feeling to realize that my parents, uncles and aunts went to the same grade and high school where I went. Now my nephews and nieces are there. 3 generations educated by the same school.

I can throw one of my grandparents into this as well.

My mom teaches there and in 36 years is has taught parents and now is teaching their children. These are the grandchildren of her classmates.

This is what human communities historically are and how they generally behave and in many places still work.

I worked for State Farm in Bloomington, IL. I saw 3 generations working there at the same time at different levels. Many couples were also working together (albeit for different divisions). It’s a different world there. People work for State Farm till 3pm and later they go work on their own farms. Not sure how things will change with arrival of new innovative companies like Lemonade.

I agree about insurance but working in healthcare which is seeing e-Pharmacy entrants like Roman, I have a different take.

The tech itself is great but I’m generally finding that the people in these companies don’t actually understand their product, customer or the full lifecycle.

At some point I’m going to need to file a claim and work with municipalities. I won’t be surprised if these companies can’t execute a full customer lifecycle.

Isn’t it a great feeling? So much to talk about the school and teachers in the family gathering? I would love it!

I do get the same. It’s always good to keep your roots so you can go back at least for short visits.

That’s crazy, I ended up going to 7 different schools in 3 different countries - so did my mum, and grandparents. We are a family of diplomats and expats - as a result we have fragmented childhood across different schools and regions

I have always wanted to know what it’s like to have roots like yours OP. You’re fortunate in that sense

Yes! Go solve bigger global problems! Not to give $ to MDs and Partners to ensure their retirement pot money

I spent time in Louisville growing up and one of my friends was a 5th generation Male student, with his parents and grandparents all having attended and taught there, too.

Similar stories with a number of friends who went to Manual there, too.

HELP! B2G and now adding B2B accounts!

I've worked for my company since August and I've mainly been prospecting in behavioral health centers.

However, the other two AEs want me to support them (only BDR) and they handle corporate employee accounts/non-healthcare.

Anyone have any tips for the B2B space and who I should prospect? They didn't give many pointers lol.

I have been at my company for a little less than 4 years now. I’ve had the third highest sales last year out of a team of 50 and consistently the highest outbound calls per week. They told me I can start WFH once I hit $1mil in profit, but then rescinded right before I hit the goal. They have also denied simpler request like time off, when I know they have approved this before for others. I feel super unappreciated, but the money is great. I’m not sure if I should look elsewhere and start over?
