@brianbeers Can I ask how that structure is set up? How many employees target store rev and what the OTE is?

[Russ Hadlock @RussHadlock]

@patrickdichter Just how much the previous owner did and handled. He was supposed to hire for his replacement before acquisition. Terrible hire and frankly impossible. The man was a machine but down played it very well.

@rockylalvani @brianbeers I had the same thought. The cost of the truck and driver isn’t low. Impound lot cost? 🤷🏻

[Russ Hadlock @RussHadlock]

I don’t know how we get there yet but localized LLM can mitigate brain drain within companies. It can protect against key person risk. I don’t know enough about how this could function but the idea that I can go to a ChatGPT (local) and query a company scenario would be amazing.

@Dave__Gilbert We need that full story

[Russ Hadlock @RussHadlock]

@brianbeers Because there’s a chance you buy that business and fuck up your life.

@Molson_Hart @marcuslemonis There should be a crowd fund option similar to kickstarter but for existing SMBs. I thought that was a good direction for NFTS but it hasn’t happened yet. No debt, residual income based on some arbitrary return calculation. Works for artists/entertainers too. Xspaces for pitches

@Molson_Hart @RussellLowery10 Maybe it’s the “hire fast fire faster” method..he doesn’t seem to care about the optics of cabinet turnover or what anyone has to say after. It will most definitely be an interesting watch over the next year.

@stephenolmon @kelceylehrich Just the words card processor give me anxiety. Relentless cold calls… it’s 5-10x more inbound than any other solicitor.

@hoytcrouch That next step is really difficult. Not enough revenue to pay for a true #1. Often you end up with someone not quite strong enough from within or a discount wannabe and both could end up causing more grief.

@sohamshah__ @ShaanVP This should be overlayed with the happiness chart. By decade, the happiness scale doesn’t align.

@bethanyjbabcock #5 is profound. It’s is where most owner/operators get stuck. Optimal efficiency feels right but is a choke point.

[Russ Hadlock @RussHadlock]

@brianbeers This has been by far my most challenging problem to solve.

[Russ Hadlock @RussHadlock]

@SMB_Attorney @blueprintsmb22 I’m here. Regret however can be a dangerous mindset and could cause self fulfilling prophecy. There is no failure option. There are degrees of survival. Often overlooked is the ripple this decision has on others. Family and employees have futures that get changed overnight too.

[Russ Hadlock @RussHadlock]

@blueprintsmb22 I agree, I’m afraid the bigger story just might be the fleecing of small biz through artificial engagement. I would like to see some real proof that my money spent actually went to real eyeballs. Was I (and many other small biz) a victim of fraud?

[Russ Hadlock @RussHadlock]

I firmly believe that Yelp uses Bot engagement to encourage small biz to spend on advertising. I’ve tested the theory multiple times. I’m curious if the window washing Yelp story was perhaps funded by Yelp as a marketing campaign. 🤔

[Russ Hadlock @RussHadlock]

I often go to google for some important search for information, click the bar and then end up clicking random trending items and forget why I went to google to begin with. On a side note, Boeing can’t stay out of the news.
