Things nobody tells you when you start doing BD in crypto:
• The first call is mostly them checking if you're a sane normal person that they can ever considering working with. Ask about their project; don't pitch yet
• Half your leads go quiet after one DM? They're not uninterested; they're busy. Follow up again, or they might be uninterested too lol(less chance)
• The person you talk to is usually not the one who says yes. Ask early who else needs to see the proposal/list
• A Telegram group with 8 people in it means nothing is getting decided fast, so gg on that part
• "Let's circle back next week" means send them something useful next week, not a "just checking in"
• Being easy to work with wins more deals than having the best offer(Source: Trust me brah)
Took me way too long to figure out most of this.

People think 1 year dedicated to yourself is a long time
Until they realise the year passes anyway
whether you do it or not.
I've closed $1M+ as a BD in Revenue, and here is how I did it:
• Cold DMs at 3 am
• GM threads that go nowhere
• Screenshot of a Canva pitch deck
• Calling every intro a "pipeline"
Now that I've got your attention, and if you're falling for posts like that, be careful
I've met people who say this on TL or something like how I made $10K/Day, and once you ask them one real question about how a deal actually closes, they go quiet
I believe in the power of larping, but broo????
Always take these CT posts with a pinch of salt, even mine.

French bank got drained for $133M
Hackers pulled it through CEX accounts as stables then hopped chains, so it will be hard to track.
Now every exchange that touched those withdrawals is scrambling to freeze wallets.
ZachXBT flagged it on TG. Bank confirmed an attack, but that says clients' funds are fine
Even after a TradFi attack, crypto gets dragged through the mud lol
CEXs rn:
WTFF! Sat down at 2 after gym and lunch and it’s 10 PM now.
I was locked in the whole time but don’t know exactly what I did lol(Typical Monday) and the day just disappeared.
Am I broken chat? 😭
Woke up to see Polymarket drained. Binance looking at the biggest hack in crypto history, all in a same day.
At this point the only SAFU thing left is a cold wallet you actually control.…ohh sorry I forgot about Ledger.
Here's what nobody tells you about half the “Grok Bot made me rich” posts on your timeline.
A lot of them aren't creator tips.
They're ads.
My biggest mistake was showing my friends my X account. Now they keep telling me crypto is not a serious industry.
Yesterday, I was on a call with two friends who are in the UK right now, building a startup. They have raised thousands of dollars through friends and family and investors.
They used to trade NFTs with me back then. They asked, 'How's the crypto world right now? Show me your profile and how much you've grown.' I showed them, and they saw my feed. It was all about who should pay on a date 😭.
They dropped dead laughing and said crypto is not a serious industry anymore.
