Sometimes, letting the engineering team speak to the real problems can motivate the client towards real solutions. This whole notion of sales teams and engineering teams not being on the same page is a problem that I continually have to solve for companies, when brought in to handle "system issues". Sales teams provide feedback for engineers on the customer experience, and defines the fiscal opportunity/risk. Engineering teams provide insights to sales on design decisions, scheduling, known solutions, and should be the metric for a businesses productivity levels. It's very common for sales and engineering teams to not be on the same page, and the worst part of it is the number of companies who are okay keeping these skeletons in the closet - because who wants to take responsibility for the problem when it's you? #engineeringproblems #technicaldebt #brokencode #spaghetti #cicd #mismanagement #guidelines #regulations #procedures #mobileapp #softwaredeveloper

Unfortunately, those middle-of-the-night “I should really write that down” moments happen 𝘢 𝘭𝘰𝘵. 🌙✍️ And it’s happening more: we are constantly bombarded with 𝗧𝗶𝗸𝗧𝗼𝗸𝘀 featuring business book recommendations, 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗲𝗱𝗜𝗻 articles to read, and 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝘁𝘀 to catch up on.

Now take those 26,437 containers and add 10% to 20% to the landed costs of the food you purchase. That’s the cost of proposed tariff hikes. Those costs are not absorbed by the sellers but by the importers who in turn pass as much of those costs as they can to the consumer. #tariffs

Imagine using the same search for records management. That's most "In-Place" products. They use the native search that's on your Outlook, Teams etc. I call them piggy-backers. If you hear connectors or APIs in their pitch, you are getting a 🐷-backer. Pro Tip: Go to teams and try running a search. See how much of a horror story that is.

A well-known truism. The best customer is a happy customer… It goes to say that the best leads are referrals from happy customers.
