What is the best PC for independent contractors? I’m considering making this move but haven’t owned a non-company PC in a decade. I’m not a fan of my current work PC so I want to make sure what I buy is durable and efficient. TIA!

Used to like Lenovo, but had some really bad experience with their customer service and 2 in 1s, Asus has been really good recently as well as HP.

Any of surface from Microsoft are very good. Probably Mac level quality wise and price wise

Thanks everyone! And recs on best place to purchase? I feel like Best Buy’s return policy is trash so I want to make sure where I purchase from has a good return policy and offers a solid warranty / support.

Check your EY discount directory, you may be able to get a deal directly from the manufacturer. Otherwise I'd suggest talking to someone at a Microcenter.

I have over 12 years in B2B sales/sales management experience along with a graduate degree. I am wanting to shift gears and I am at a point where I can invest time in myself to learn through practical experience. The new industry I am wanting to pursue is real estate investment. I have read all the books but want some hands on experience on the property management side. How could I best leverage my skills for a role in this, and what should my expectations be for negotiation in compensation?

Anxiety before your sales demos?

Do these 2 things I used to do to get over it:

1. Know the product inside out - it will take time for you to gain confidence in your sales abilities but if you know the product will you’ll be more confident in that domain.

2. Do more demos - the more calls and presentations you do the more comfortable you’ll get. My advice is to try to get on a lot of presentations, even with leads that aren’t so good.
