Closing in NYC

Hey all, wanted to get your experience in NYC on going out and closing birds. I feel like I'm closing less these days post pandemic than before. I'm class of 2018 so I feel like 2018 and 2019 I saw greater success rate but seeing less now that NYC is back open. To preface, there is nothing I can think of that is making me and my game worse (obvi would be blind to it) but was wondering if anyone else has been having similar experience. If not, just tell me I'm an incel loser and I'll be on my way.


Best regards.

 

The British call them birds, in the US we call them chicks.

Haha no - as I said, class of 2018 so still 25/26. And worked at a CRA for my first job so the last thing it was was stressful (25-30 hours of work a week) and was able to prioritize lifting/training.

 

Getting chicks in NYC is like fishing with dynamite. Chicks everywhere. Just go sit at a pub and have a few beers and you’re bound to meet someone.
