Advice a sales coach gave me was “sales is sorting, not convincing.”

I always found that put me in the right headspace to focus on listening first, then being clear. Whether they sort themselves into a yes or no is on them.

Thank you! Hoping for lots of good things.

Yes! Just commented saying that too. I loved Dopplr andn I loved that era of Web 2.0 apps.

It really made me think of Dopplr, which was one of the delighful and beautiful Web 2 apps that never quite broke out.

The thing that feels different between now and Web 2 is that the Internet is so much bigger. So you can build an app that has a niche and it can still be pretty big. I was on the early beta for this app and it's great, especially if networking and travel are a big part of your life. I honestly have no idea if it even needs to be bigger than that although I know it can be.

I’m not surprised. There had been some talks among various platforms to form a coalition and the reason we (Medium) thought they broke down was because people were trying to cut individual deals. I think this is overall bad for the internet because it cuts creators out of the decision and compensation.
