Post is slop but I was on a call this morning with our go-getter sales guy (he’s calling himself a gtm engineer now) where he talked about alternately buying Reddit comments and going and placing flyers on car windshields himself at offices of potential customers. Our CEO was enthusiastic.

  Even my local dispensaries and strip clubs have the good manners to put business cards or postcards on the driver's side window. Some people just don't see wiper flyers until they start driving and get surprised by the flapping paper. Tell your sales guy to learn the etiquette first.
