19 00:04:58.450 ⇒ 00:05:01.109 Uttam Kumaran: and we have our weekly meetings now. So.
20 00:05:02.980 ⇒ 00:05:04.440 Patrick Trainer: Yeah, I’ve been making
21 00:05:04.520 ⇒ 00:05:06.619 Patrick Trainer: that shift into
22 00:05:07.400 ⇒ 00:05:10.069 Patrick Trainer: waking up at 6 Am. Again.
23 00:05:11.450 ⇒ 00:05:13.290 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, it’s tough.
24 00:05:15.595 ⇒ 00:05:19.449 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, maybe we get started. I’ll see if other folks
25 00:05:20.060 ⇒ 00:05:22.589 Uttam Kumaran: filter in. I think just probably like a quick
26 00:05:23.550 ⇒ 00:05:29.279 Uttam Kumaran: quicker one today. So I think big things for this week. So we just kicked off like our
27 00:05:29.380 ⇒ 00:05:29.913 Uttam Kumaran: or
28 00:05:31.140 ⇒ 00:05:37.819 Uttam Kumaran: 1st like outbound email series. So we have, you know, probably like
29 00:05:38.600 ⇒ 00:05:47.150 Uttam Kumaran: a thousand, maybe emails that will go out sometime, probably this week. Across e-commerce and manufacturing.
30 00:05:47.220 ⇒ 00:05:49.760 Uttam Kumaran: So I’m really excited for that
31 00:05:51.740 ⇒ 00:05:54.980 Uttam Kumaran: Erickson and his team kind of set all those up. So
32 00:05:55.100 ⇒ 00:05:57.699 Uttam Kumaran: I’m really happy that that’s all kicking off
33 00:05:58.035 ⇒ 00:06:07.389 Uttam Kumaran: so that’s on the sales side. On the client side. We had some urgent asks from pool parts today that Ryan and Nico are working on. It’s probably what they’re working on now.
34 00:06:08.300 ⇒ 00:06:10.580 Uttam Kumaran: So they’re handling that
35 00:06:11.150 ⇒ 00:06:11.740 Patrick Trainer: To ask.
36 00:06:11.740 ⇒ 00:06:12.320 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
37 00:06:13.103 ⇒ 00:06:19.866 Uttam Kumaran: they they are. They’re engaging with some potential like strategic investors. So they need
38 00:06:20.840 ⇒ 00:06:39.009 Uttam Kumaran: they wanted a little bit of like an overview of one time. We did a little bit of like a pricing analysis based on one of their skews, like the performances down. So they basically want like a write up of that. That’s like a little bit beefy with, like everything that we’ve we’ve we’ve done and can do is like they can hand that over as like, what’s our process? Typically
39 00:06:39.020 ⇒ 00:06:44.190 Uttam Kumaran: for like understanding, like pricing changes or manufacture or marketing changes.
40 00:06:44.350 ⇒ 00:06:47.246 Uttam Kumaran: So we’re kind of working on like a write up document.
41 00:06:48.190 ⇒ 00:06:49.350 Uttam Kumaran: there.
42 00:06:51.120 ⇒ 00:07:04.440 Uttam Kumaran: Miguel is working on a week, so I’m meeting with we have one client by the cocoa on the automation side. We’re waiting for some like Ftp information for them to send some stuff over.
43 00:07:05.780 ⇒ 00:07:13.349 Uttam Kumaran: on jabby coffee. I need to. We’ll get an I’ll get an update today from Brian on like the latest there. But
44 00:07:13.660 ⇒ 00:07:22.720 Uttam Kumaran: that seems like so far so good. We’re preparing a pitch for Hpi, which is, as I mentioned last week this like commercial real estate company.
45 00:07:23.118 ⇒ 00:07:25.090 Uttam Kumaran: So I’m meeting with, like our
46 00:07:25.300 ⇒ 00:07:29.009 Uttam Kumaran: like sort of liaison like stakeholder there.
47 00:07:29.810 ⇒ 00:07:36.979 Uttam Kumaran: today to kind of like Demo, some of the stuff that Miguel has been developing, and we’ve been kind of developing for them.
48 00:07:37.050 ⇒ 00:07:41.870 Uttam Kumaran: So I’ll be sending. I’ll be sharing that I have a larger meeting with them on Wednesday.
49 00:07:44.150 ⇒ 00:07:46.880 Uttam Kumaran: we had a good meeting on like the medical side last week.
50 00:07:47.301 ⇒ 00:08:00.629 Uttam Kumaran: I have a couple of asks from Erickson on the outbound marketing side. So I’ll probably connect everybody in slack, so he can just answer and ask, probably Abigail and Chang directly, for, like what they need.
51 00:08:02.360 ⇒ 00:08:12.849 Uttam Kumaran: I think. And then the other thing. So we have like more content going out this week. Ryan, who’s on the calls, working on like content schedule. We had a really good set of post last week
52 00:08:12.880 ⇒ 00:08:15.829 Uttam Kumaran: that got a lot of great data on.
53 00:08:15.890 ⇒ 00:08:18.669 Uttam Kumaran: So we will be posting, probably something
54 00:08:18.740 ⇒ 00:08:24.709 Uttam Kumaran: within the next few days, and then something at the end of the week again, probably going for like that, like 2 post.
55 00:08:25.030 ⇒ 00:08:30.629 Uttam Kumaran: like sort of minimum. But it’s good. It’s I mean, I’m happy that it’s gonna start to compound a lot.
56 00:08:31.120 ⇒ 00:08:34.299 Uttam Kumaran: I can tell. I think our process so far of like.
57 00:08:34.700 ⇒ 00:08:45.920 Uttam Kumaran: basically what I do is like I’ve been recording like, kind of like fake interviews with Chat Gpt about topics. Like it asked me like 10 or 15 questions about a topic. I
58 00:08:46.000 ⇒ 00:09:07.859 Uttam Kumaran: answer those. And then Ryan turns that into a little bit of a post, and then I kind of edit for tone and voice. That process has been really, really great. So once, like, I’m able to do that pretty predictably, I’ll kind of probably scale it to other folks like Patrick, and otherwise we’ll plan some blog posts that I can get. You know your guys feedback on. But I would say, this process has been
59 00:09:07.950 ⇒ 00:09:18.309 Uttam Kumaran: so much nicer than having to stare at a blank page and like write it’s been really nice just to like speak. And then kind of like that gets like basically transcribed, which is really nice.
60 00:09:20.470 ⇒ 00:09:23.669 Uttam Kumaran: I think otherwise. Yeah, Pat, I think the only thing is
61 00:09:24.064 ⇒ 00:09:26.896 Uttam Kumaran: if you want to schedule a follow up
62 00:09:27.580 ⇒ 00:09:29.070 Uttam Kumaran: on your stuff.
63 00:09:30.290 ⇒ 00:09:40.119 Uttam Kumaran: That would be great. I don’t want to be the blocker there, because I’m just going to be busy today. But I want to kind of like map out like short term goals for
64 00:09:40.220 ⇒ 00:09:45.890 Uttam Kumaran: that roadmap. And then we have a recruiting meeting later today, like the 1st kind of like recruiting
65 00:09:46.151 ⇒ 00:09:48.229 Uttam Kumaran: sort of call. So I’ll kind of lay out.
66 00:09:48.430 ⇒ 00:09:50.819 Uttam Kumaran: But our basic process for like
67 00:09:50.970 ⇒ 00:09:53.409 Uttam Kumaran: who we’re starting to talk with.
68 00:09:53.470 ⇒ 00:09:59.459 Uttam Kumaran: And then that way, I think at the moment it’s mainly gonna be between me, Pat and Nico talking to potential candidates.
69 00:10:00.172 ⇒ 00:10:09.197 Uttam Kumaran: But I will be sort of scheduling those meetings and kind of like filtering out. We’ll we’ll start the list of folks that we want to kind of chat with. And
70 00:10:10.440 ⇒ 00:10:13.355 Uttam Kumaran: yeah, so kind of a big week this week.
71 00:10:14.490 ⇒ 00:10:20.520 Uttam Kumaran: but I think last week last week was really great. I’m really excited to see what the outcomes of our like sales emails are. So
72 00:10:21.380 ⇒ 00:10:23.210 Uttam Kumaran: that’s really what I’m looking forward to.
73 00:10:26.060 ⇒ 00:10:28.380 Uttam Kumaran: any questions.
74 00:10:33.090 ⇒ 00:10:38.059 Uttam Kumaran: Cool. Okay, quick meeting. Today, I think. If anything, we’ll chat slack.
75 00:10:40.610 ⇒ 00:10:43.000 Uttam Kumaran: But yeah, we should have a lot of stuff come out this week. So.
76 00:10:44.150 ⇒ 00:10:44.780 Patrick Trainer: Sweet.
77 00:10:44.990 ⇒ 00:10:45.790 Patrick Trainer: this one.
78 00:10:45.790 ⇒ 00:10:46.420 Uttam Kumaran: Cool.
79 00:10:46.830 ⇒ 00:10:50.010 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, guys, thank you. Thanks everyone. Bye, bye.
80 00:10:50.220 ⇒ 00:10:50.960 Uttam Kumaran: see it.
