Into The thank you economy right now, It's solid.

Now, a interesting development just came up! A new method i just tested out by targeting a specific people within a specific organization then contacting them outside of it, I have more access to people that are looking to improve their service.

Right now I have a issue, I'm about to close on a big sale I think, We haven't spoken about budget or anything but there's been about 10-12 emails back and forth and all generally positive.

NOW! What's the problem you ask? Well, I kinda can't listen to anything on the phone and they asked to set up a time and day to speak on the phone. (already scheduled it, waiting to hear back)

I'm really hoping the relay service I rely on will be fine, but sometimes it's shoddy so I'm going to go to a nearby university, Get that insane bandwidth. Also I have no salesmen which is what I would've done, so I'm still figuring it out and pivoting. Anyone have any advice or suggestions to look into?
