Off to the Races For Monday

My end of year goal is a big blurry beast to me right now.
My goal is simply to generate 3 sales this month, but with the end of year looming, even the numbers game (that should theoretically work) is intimidating. It's been my experience that hiring is slow in these last few weeks, and for a venture intended to the role of a direct hire that could mean a rough batch of cold calls.

But, I'm encouraged. I've been contacting some cold calling and recruiting folks under the assumption that contacting folks that are doing the HR work would be the best contacts to make for Developer Select to make at this stage.

We are after all basically asking them if they would hire someone who checks every point on their job posting, but at the end of the day has an unexpected name and comes with project management to boot. At least it's an interesting problem to solve.

EoY: 3 paying customers
Yesterday: finished the long drive home from a funeral
Today: talk to at least one potential lead generator/sales resource and reach out to 5 more companies that are hiring developers.
