I went to a dueling piano bar in Asheville, NC at the Grove Park Inn and I requested Baby by Styx, and the guy was like, "Well, no one ever asks for this song, so we're gonna do this one!" And they played Come Sail Away.

One one hand, I felt cheated because they didn't play the song I requested. On the other hand, Come Sail Away - and they killed it.

Hi Mr. John, I've been in sales for less than a year at a small company and I've been put in charge of launching a national product to compete with a product that has national acclaim. It's like I'm selling tissues and competing against Kleenex.

I can rattle off what makes our products superior and how we can provide better solutions; I've sent out samples to major distributors and tried to price competitively but I keep getting hit with the stall or potential customers ghosting on me.

What kind of advice can you give to overcome a purchasing agent's reluctance to buy?

At what point do you say, "Okay, we priced this aggressively, we need to cut back on price to make some sales,"?

Any and all help would be appreciated. Thanks!

In high school I was depressed and accurately diagnosed.

I went into a care facility and came out the other side with some tools to help me vocalize what I was feeling so that I can work towards being healthy.

The said I needed therapy so for like a few months after discharge I went and saw this dude and we talked about school and my friends and my family, but it was never more than surface level. He never asked how I felt about anything. It was never like it was when I was in the care facility.

So I talked to my dad about what we were talking about and how it was just chit chat, and my dad was furious. Apparently these sessions were like a lot of money ($150 each if I remember correctly), and neither of us had experience with therapy so we don't know what to expect - but it felt like we were just there to fill this guy's pockets.

So my dad tells the guy he's a fraud and to no longer schedule us and we leave. Next week I don't get out of school and it passes uneventfully.

Dad checks the mail the following week and the guy billed us for a no show! Double the rate!

Therapy is important and so necessary for so many people, but just be careful who you get in bed with. You might just get screwed.
