Most Recent Opinions from June
If you are looking for sales tips, this is going to be a disappointing website.
These are opinion pieces about sales, customers, margins, and the strange ways business owners are encouraged to confuse activity with progress — useful whether you agree or disagree.
The goal is to show you how 50 Cats thinks, and if that thinking helps you see money, customers, or opportunities your business has been missing, then we should probably have a deeper conversation — and if that conversation creates value, 50 Cats expects treats.
You should not have to become fake, pushy, or mildly dead inside just because you need to sell something.
50 Cats helps business owners, employees, and job seekers make sense of sales, pricing, and capacity without hating the process.
That is where my “strategic clarity, no sugarcoating” work gets applied.
50Cats.com is mainly for business owners who need sales to make more sense before they chase more leads, raise prices, or accidentally build themselves a very expensive hamster wheel.
If you are an employee trying to sell ideas internally, or a job seeker trying to sell yourself without sounding like a motivational poster in business casual, there are separate pages for that. The services are complimentary.
Everyone wants more customers. Few can actually handle them.
That’s the part most sales advice skips — the actual math on what your business can really absorb before quality slips, weekends disappear, or that one client starts emailing at 11pm. Capacity planning for business growth sounds boring until you realize it’s the difference between healthy growth and just getting busier and broker. Before you push for more leads, raise prices, or rebuild your sales process, figure out how many customers you can actually handle. Sales help for business owners shouldn’t start with selling. It should start right here, with honest numbers.
Sales gets easier when the math stops lying.
Before you chase more leads, know what your business can actually absorb.
