​Sending a followup email that says just checking in or just bumping this to the top of your inbox feels incredibly lazy, but sometimes your brain is too fried to think of a better hook. What’s your go to phrase when a project or thread has gone completely cold?

I know the last time we spoke our solution would fix x y and z problems for you. I’m looking forward to chatting to discuss next steps and implementation.

How does “this date and time” work for you? I’ll set a tentative meeting to block the time out for us. If it does not fit your schedule, please let me know, and I will reschedule to a time that works for everyone.

Straight to the point and not pushy

I usually try to add something new rather than just checking in. Even a useful article, insight, or relevant update gives people a better reason to reply.

I ignored the negative comments and we moved the conversation along. Not talking about that anymore!

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.

Lately, I've been hearing a lot from my peers about how sales isn't a real profession.
I work at a tech startup and it mostly comprises developers. They can't stop emphasizing their importance in the food chain and I can't figure if I'm too humble or they're too arrogant.
This yapping comes from people I've known since college. I have successfully blocked all such negativity but wanted to know if anyone here has faced such scenarios.
P.S: I've already accepted an offer above my expectations

I prepared a presentation for an interview with a sales leader, it went well and I was offered a final interview with regional manager. The sales leader I interviewed with gave me a bunch of feedback, but said to find out information about tech stack, which I for some reason, didn’t consider. I come to find out that deep, hidden within the website of the hypothetical client, they use the service already. Do I roll into the final interview and play dumb or do i present and then come clean?
