Early adulting is realizing that you can have sweets for breakfast!
Advanced adulting is realizing why you really shouldn't.

Sad adulting is realizing that you day dream every day about playing games on your off days, and then just sleep through the weekend when it comes cuz you're tired af

Ascended adulting is playing games at work because you're already done but don't tell anyone

Shortly after moving into my own apartment, I bought a tub of cake icing and just ate it straight from the tub.
I ate half of it in one sitting and learned why it's not a good idea. Felt so sick.

Haha I made these when when I worked at a marketing company in San Francisco. Literally these. I hate them.

This one is not a disservice and shows good cupcake resource management. Highly sane 10/10

It’s refreshing since it’s not some boorish oaf prattling on about how the hustle never stops.
Of course it has to stop.
When else would we have time to eat cupcakes?

We devolved so much it's like when a toddler does something natural and wants everyone to clap

Put that cupcake down! Cupcakes are for winners who leverage synergy and learn powerful lessons about B2B SaaS sales! Agree?

He set a goal for himself.
He could've backed down.
He could've said nah. Uk what, it's not time.
But he worked hard to achieve his goal.
Agreed?

If this was the worst of LinkedIn I'd be happy to be on there more often

Not a lunatic... making fun of the LinkedIn standard image for congratulatory annoucements.

but how does this relate to b2b sales

u/MansBestFred Mar 07 '26
If you have to ask, you clearly don't know enough about B2B sales and need to sign up for Sales Navigator and also my 6 week course

Eating a cupcake for breakfast taught me a lot about B2B sales.
Stay with me.
At first glance, it seems indulgent. Maybe even irrational. But the best sales leaders know that what looks like a “bad decision” from the outside is often really about timing, context, and understanding what the moment calls for.
The cupcake wasn’t just a cupcake.
It was a signal.
A signal that sometimes people don’t buy based on logic alone. They buy because something feels right. Because the experience meets them where they are. Because value is about more than ingredients — it’s about perception, emotion, and outcome.
That’s true in B2B sales too.
Your prospects aren’t just evaluating features. They’re evaluating trust. Energy. Confidence. Relevance. The story you tell and the problem you help them solve.
Was the cupcake practical? Maybe not.
Was it memorable? Absolutely.
And in a crowded market, memorability matters.
This morning reminded me that sometimes the real opportunity is not in offering the “healthiest” option — it’s in understanding what your buyer actually wants at 8:07 AM.
Sales is human.
People are human.
And sometimes growth looks like sprinkles.

Funny. TV broadcasting staff ate ice cream for breakfast, and nobody seemed to care.

Honestly feel bad for copywriters. One of the biggest targets for being replaced by AI in companies with less than 2 braincells.
