When it comes to hiring, it’s easier to tame a reckless hustler than it is to instill that dawg in someone

I was clearly wrong about Anthropic. They are obviously currently the leader in AI. No company has released a model as good as Mythos/Fable and they will undoubtedly have Mythos 2 ready soon. And I would never cut them off in a way that hurt them badly, even as a competitor. That’s not my style. Tesla open sourced its patents and we made the Supercharger network available to all competitors, even though we could have made it a walled garden. SpaceX launches competing satellite systems with no increase in price or use of unfair terms. Even my worst enemies can attack me on this platform. …

I've analyzed over 245,000 sales calls for Medicare sales teams Here's the key things that lead to more closed deals 👇 Believe it or not, when agents properly lay out the scope of appointment (SOA) agents close rate sits around 41%. Yet when they don't do this, it's closer to a 16% close rate. Compliance is obviously a big deal in the medicare space yet normally if you're OVERLY compliant in most industries you lose sales effectiveness... Not only is it illegal to not review, it ACTUALLY leads to more closed deals. This is really just sales 101. When you reference what was filled out prior to the call to set the agenda based on their wants/needs you close more deals. The next point here is shocking (yet obvious with data). You're selling to older people above the age of 65. Confusion is a real thing. Medicare agents that stop prior to the pitch to clarify if ALL questions are answered & confirm there is zero confusion before pitching Close FOUR times higher than agents that don't. We found all of these insights from my software Objectionly It integrates with your call recording software, watches sales calls like a sales manager & delivers insights like your sales manager did call review himself.

Alex Becker @ZssBecker to his private FB Group in 2020. He sold Hyros for $110M+ this year. "What's that, 5 hours of work? You have 195 more to go!" With a mindset & focus like that, one simply can NOT lose.. h/t: @Dropshipceo

Anthropic (Claude) CEO rejects $200M deal from the US Government Because they won't meet two terms: 1. Don’t use AI to spy on Americans 2. Don’t let AI decide who to kill with autonomous weapons Trump Administration & Department of War has classified Anthropic as a security threat Now the US Gov gave the contract to Sam Altman of OpenAI (Chat GPT) Chat GPT will now be used to spy on Americans & kill people in other countries with AI making decisions with zero humans What's your take? Do we boycott OpenAI?

Spoke with a sales leader of a $50M/yr lending company recently Here's the $3.7M/mo problem he was unaware of 👇🏼

"so you're doing around $4M a month and you'd be at $8M a month if your team was at KPI... does that feel a tad off or like a pretty large issue?" He nearly spit out his coffee. When you're looking at metrics on a dashboard, a few % off doesn't look like much...

but when you quantify it - it shows you where you're bleeding cash. This call was such a game changer for him, I decided to make a free saas that does this Input your metrics & see what your team is costing you Comment the word "CALC" & I'll DM you the link to it

In 2025, the em dash was the giveaway that something was written by AI In 2026, it's saying "flying blind" Who the fuck says this in a normal sentence

Our competitor raised $15M A lot of their "existing" features are on our roadmap My CTO hopped on sales call w/ them & tried uploading a call The most basic & vital part of an AI sales call analysis software. & it didn't work. Loaded for 9 min. We're destroying them rn
building a SaaS be like: > find a problem > validate the idea > think "no one is doing this" > design the full architecture > finally check competitors one startup has already shipped your entire feature list...and raised a seed im cooked 💀

Congrats to @pedroh96 and the Brex team on the acquisition. Major testament to what you and the team have built, and we have a lot of love for the leadership team at Capital One If you need any restaurant recommendations in McLean, I have many fond memories here

How I went from software idea to $10M valuation in 7 months (I don't know how to code, never raised $, and never worked at a saas company) Let's get into it 👇🏼 When I first had the idea for Objectionly, I was running a sales recruiting/training business. I'd place great reps with companies, but their performance was truly dependent on how well the sales leadership was managing them. I interviewed 100 founders & sales leaders to find out how they managed reps, and found the problem. Call Review. Everyone hates doing it, but the best teams did 20+ hours a week of it and was desperate for solutions to cut back on time spent. The low performing sales teams were barely doing it, because businesses under $5M a year are wearing too many hats to stay on top of this. I asked all of them how much they'd pay for a solution to their problem, and this dictated my pricing. From there, I went to a dev agency to get me a prototype (Shoutout @j_starte ). Once that got finished, I recruited my now technical cofounder & CTO to finish the final touches of an MVP to bring the product to life so we can get it in customers hands. In June, we got our first user before we really went to market. 18 sales reps managed by 1 head of sales. Impossible to manage by himself. I gave him a crazy discount just to see if it would help him. ...they went from $1.4M in June to $2.9M in July after using Objectionly "Holy sh*t... this works" I thought, time to really go get customers. Keep in mind, I threw $5k in the business bank account to get this alive, but we bootstrapped and we had virtually no money so I had to get scrappy. We started signing on marketing agencies & sales agencies as affiliates, and that got us our first 10-20 users. We used that cash to start running ads which rapidly accelerated growth, and used that momentum to raise our first round, which we're almost done raising. As of today, we have a world class product, team, adding 3-5 paying users a day, and have the vision of becoming the default sales intelligence layer for SMB to mid market companies.
