What do I do? I'm getting yelled at by my boss because of this stuff

Bro the world is a fucked up place now. Making a business work is nearly impossible. You basically have to be a scam in order to get money.

I used to be a vendor rep making 200k+ commissions yearly on well over 10 million per year.

The trick that I used was to always talk about upcoming technology, as well as family and sports.

I was in the USA, but my pitch was that this "new" thing is better than "old" thing and you should buy this new thing because xyz reason that will make the old thing obsolete in their product because of xyz reason.

Always talk about the newness and the improvements.

Family and Sports come second. It shows your an actual person. Make up the fact that you have a girlfriend. Find a fav team in baseball, football, and have a fav player in golf. Get in shape. No one respects a fat lard trying to sell them product.

This is what happens when you retire meritocracy and advance inclusion. Fear not, we are a short time from a massive implosion from systemic degradation at every level of corporate, academic and government organization.

You just have to keep at people.
Eventually they get their arses into gear.
Use multiple methods of contact - if no response by email, phone them. Depending on the industry, in-person visits are acceptable too.
Your customers and the businesses you deal with need to get the idea that you are fucking driven, and won't give up until you get what you are aiming for, be it a sale or a deal or an answer.

agreed, and then those of us with drive and capital will be able to snap up business opportunities for pennies on the dollar.

Actually you are right anon, were about to turn it all around in the correct direction.

It's been like this before any such memes. Most of the population is dumb and incompetent, therefore most of the people at businesses are dumb and incompetent. Every day I wonder how the business world as a whole continues to function, and it's basically the work of maybe 10% of people. Clever young startups and such might be full of only people in that top % at first, though as they turn into big companies they fill up with normans just like everything else. It's just how the world works.

Well no, that’s literally the point, there won’t be an “implosion” or anything constituting actual change

because the system is inert and void of even the possibility of leadership

I've made literally tens of thousands of dollars from projects where the client just ghosts me one day and I never hear from them again

Ok i get what your saying. Let me adjust:
We are quickly approaching steepest part of the declining curve. Things wont go "pop" and be completely different the next day, but change will increase in pace, and be overwhelmingly negative for the quality of life for most people on planet earth. Not speculation, its literally happening right now.

This is why who you know is more important than what you know. If you know the right people, if you're known as the guy who can get to the right people, you will make as much money as you want.
