The majority of human sheep do not ever arbitrage. To them, it is extra work with vague returns. To them, the “cognitive misers”, they’re too lazy to read in depth. These lazy sheep, at best, will sell in a liquidation situation.* Lazy sheep<\/span> will, at-best, sell services by gaining employment where the arbitrage algorithm value proposition is hazy at best** {No offense to Shawn the Sheep whom I am currently shepherding into a huge DVD release party} <\/span><\/div>\n

This post is about popping three cherry’s. This post sets as an intention starting up “You Inc.” via 3 distinct ‘procedures’. It is best if you’re an undergrad in CS because protocols, googling protocols and copy-pasting protocols will seem second nature to you. <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
*Yes, people sell for cents on-the-dollar all the time. Selling a portfolio of parking tickets and bridge tolls (charged off) originally worth $100,000 for 3,000’s not arbitrage. That’s death.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
** At nearly any company, you can fire half the people in management and the revenue will not change. <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
CHERRY NUMBER ONE:<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Arbitrage one small thing where first you sell the customer. Then you buy the thing the customer bought. <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Let me repeat that. <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
First you sell it. <\/span><\/div>\n
Then you buy it. <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
This is the most counterintuitive procedure.<\/i> This is a very counterintuitive thesis. First you sell it. Then you make it. First you sell it. Then you go code the product up. Sheep that attempt arbitrage buy inventory. And then it sits. Never to get sold. Let me repeat. 1st you sell it. Then you buy and augment existing product to fulfill that purchase order.

What they don’t teach you at YC about sales is what my mentor taught me<\/span><\/div>\n
– Internal Escrow<\/span><\/div>\n
– OneWayLetterOfIntent (both googleable “signature business protocols”<\/span><\/div>\n

#InternalEscrow<\/span><\/div>\n
