though after 6pm I do it much much much more sporadically

2018-10-02 19:53:37 UTC

2018-10-02 19:53:59 UTC  

when I became a BDM I started checking my emails at about 8pm at home. funnily customers love that

2018-10-02 19:54:55 UTC  

15% extra effort and hours leads to about 50% more commission

2018-10-02 19:54:57 UTC  

lets move to DM's. We're shitting up the fake-new channel

2018-10-02 19:55:01 UTC  

😄

@Jes foreign customers would like it because that would mean you are more likely to be aligning to their time zone, local customers like it because it sucks having to wait until business hours to solve a problem that needs to be solved asap.

2018-10-02 20:04:32 UTC  

totally, that little bit more effort. just exceed expectations to make money

2018-10-02 20:06:11 UTC  

There was an uncle of mine who had 3 rules for anyone who wanted to be a contractor:
-show up on time
-finish when you say when you were going to
-clean up after yourself

2018-10-02 20:08:59 UTC  

Most contractors take a job and disappear once they get paid

2018-10-02 20:09:12 UTC  

Theyll only do small amounts of work each month
