I don’t see enough people talking about this, but basic business etiquette is very important.

I see a lot of young guys get into business and try to use some weird ass tactics to get what they want, like being overly aggressive, flat out lying, or acting like the person they’re speaking to isn’t even an actual person.

I have a decent following on my more public facing social medias, and the DMs I get from young people trying to sell me stuff is straight up abysmal. My request folders are essentially masterclasses on what NOT to do.

I hear you this is often what we see in the real estate world

I think the manosphere grind set people are a big part of the problem. If you’re always trying to be some sigma male that’s always in charge and calling shots when you actually need to be getting help and building relationships, you’re gonna have a bad time.

that's a pretty harsh generalisation about the entire lot of "young" ppl trying to make it

[–] Icarusfactor@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's not a generalization. That's an anecdote.

Well said, but also maybe with a splash of hyperbole. Literally everyone is hyperbolic these days.
