Ask HN: How to avoid ghosting by potential customers?
5 by ajeet_dhaliwal | 0 comments on Hacker News.
If you are involved with sales in anyway you have probably encountered ghosting - it's when you've been having (what seems) like a fruitful conversation about their problems, their interest in what you are selling and helping them through perhaps a trial or getting started, you've exchanged anywhere from 5 to 75 emails and then suddenly they are gone, you never hear from them ever again, despite following up, no reasons, just gone. To be clear I am not talking about someone never having responded ever, I'm talking about a situation where the conversation has begun, you may have exchanged potentially dozens of emails, perhaps even spoken on the phone, perhaps even written custom code or helped with integration. It looks like the term originally comes from online dating but I am talking about the business variety. The specific question I have is, assuming this is going to happen and accepting that there will be a subset of potential prospects that do this, has anyone found any ways to avoid this from happening, seeing warning signs, or reducing the rate this happens? In particular interest, it seems clear they are no longer interested in the product or service, but were they ever interested? I'm reading about the psychology around why this happens too and from what I understand they were interested at some point, but then changed their mind, perhaps the product wasn't good enough, or didn't quite meet their needs, whatever the reason, you won't find out, but I am assuming they were interested at some point. Of course, the important thing is to quickly move on when you have realized this has happened but I think the rate of ghosting has crept up and hearing about other people's experience and thoughts on this might save me and others reading a lot of time.

Tell HN: Work at a Startup Expo will be at YC on Saturday, June 29
67 by ryankicks | 22 comments on Hacker News.
Last year, we revived the "Work at a Startup" event for YC companies and prospective hires to meet each other in person ( http://bit.ly/2QwWzk9 ). The format has proven to work well, so we're doing it again. The 2019 event will be on Saturday, June 29 at YC in Mountain View: http://bit.ly/2wqm7q4 Many engineers are interested in working at smaller companies. But there aren't many efficient ways to meet a bunch of them at once, and it's a ton of repetitive work to seek them out one by one. Meanwhile, hiring is the biggest challenge most YC startups are facing. That's an obvious matchmaking problem, and bringing everyone together in one big event is one thing YC can do to help address it. It's a fun and interesting day, too! This year, we're bringing together 40 YC companies in one place. Rapid-fire company presentations—like Demo Day, but for engineers instead of investors—will give you a way to quickly survey the companies. Following this, we'll have a casual open house for you to engage one-on-one with any founders and early engineers who you thought were interesting. New this time: We've heard from people who are interested in joining somewhat later-stage startups, because they think their skills may translate better to roles there than at the classic 2-to-10 person early stage. So this year we've included a number of larger startups, like Gusto and Sift Science. These companies have specialized needs across data, infrastructure, security and more. We hope this gives you more options to match your skill set, interests and risk appetite. Working at a startup is for sure not for everybody! Justin Kan covered this in his post here: http://bit.ly/2QumIQz , and HN users are never shy about pointing out the downsides. But I can tell you from personal experience that the upsides are powerful if you're in a position to go for it. For me, working at startups has been a unique opportunity to work closely with talented and experienced founders. (Many founders at this year's event learned to ship products at places like Square, Google, Linkedin and even Gusto.) The magic of working with a small, closely aligned team and the feeling of true ownership and impact is something many of us long for in our careers. The intense learning curves, the chance to personally grow rapidly along with a company—these are experiences which those of us lucky enough to have would never trade away. Of course, there are no guarantees: it's a classic risk/reward tradeoff. But if you're tired of feeling stuck and uncreative in a corporate situation, or no longer really believing in what you're doing, and part of you is longing for greater ferment, impact, and adventure, come and spend the day with us and check out the other side of the equation. I hope to see you there! http://bit.ly/2wqm7q4

Ask HN: How close together are your bus stops?
2 by superqwert | 0 comments on Hacker News.
In London UK, distances between bus stops are on average between 100 and 200m away from each other. I'm interested in finding out whether other cities in the world may have comparably short distances between bus stops and whether they have any datasets that could be used to calculate bus stop distance distributions.

I'm a project manager for a ~60 person software dev firm. One project I'm on is with a large American enterprise, and the product owner and his direct manager are absolute assholes. I've got 8 developers that I try to shield from accusatory questions and extremely aggressive and borderline abusive behaviour. In the beginning we we all agreed not to take anything personally and to let it just roll off the back. We agreed to tighten up our processes and try to avoid confrontations by being super proactive with all our work, but we're coming close to the launch date, and it's getting worse as more pressure mounts. Ordinarily, we would have dropped the client by now and refused to put up with the end-justifies-the-means tactics, but unfortunately our company could not survive without this and a handful of other projects we have with this client. My company is actively looking for new clients so we are not beholden to this one, and my manager is apologetic and tries to run interference when she can, but I'm largely left to my own devices. This is a very high profile project that stands to disrupt its market. It's exciting for them and us. I have to maintain this relationship somehow. How do you manage your clients who are completely unreasonable, rude, and treat you and your staff extremely poorly?
