Re:Ask HN: How to practice sales without making it a career on Tuesday February 05, 2019 @11:30AM (#19086829)
I think there's nothing better than practice :)

And in case you want to get familiar with the profession, I could offer to try Talk to Ri app in about one week) (it's the product I'm working on, it hasn't launched yet though and its content isn't updated for now). https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/talk-to-ri-business-english/...

It's actually more for learning English for tech, but we will have a conversations trainer, including tech sales manager program)

Ask HN: How does your company care about your professional development?

I know big companies often have professional development plans for their employees. They offer courses and cover some educational expenses. Small companies and startups are following this trend as well. I am interested in how it happens in your company. And what would you suggest a good option on your current/previous job to help you enhance your career and be more motivated to stay and grow...

Re:Ask HN: Discipline but no focus, how to fix? on Thursday January 31, 2019 @08:43AM (#19044613)
Meditations. You learn to focus on something for as long as you wish. Fewer distractions. It helped me a lot because I'm the one who's extra multitasking, which wasn't productive enough. I've started meditating, and it changed my workflow completely.

Thinking about Calm - I've started meditating, and this changed everything in my life :)
What I usually did, before starting own company, - is exploring LinkedIn/FB profiles of my future teammates:) Maybe it's weird, but I felt more confident and it was easier to integrate knowing the whole picture.
Re:Ask HN: How do you keep track of your creative thoughts? on Wednesday January 09, 2019 @08:56AM (#18864670)
I use two things: physical notebook with unlined pages - I draw ideas pretty often, and iPhone notes (I group them by topics).
Have you tried looking for a job at UX agencies? They usually have a focus and are pretty small.
