24 00:03:02.000 ⇒ 00:03:05.100 Ryan Brosas: Or just, like, a new function on….

34 00:13:33.010 ⇒ 00:13:33.919 Raymund Verzosa: Yeah, same.
35 00:13:45.260 ⇒ 00:13:46.130 Rico Rejoso: Okay.
36 00:13:46.310 ⇒ 00:13:56.449 Rico Rejoso: So, let’s move on to our discussion regarding to the notes you put in here, but before we get to any of those, let’s just go through our checklist from…
37 00:13:57.180 ⇒ 00:14:06.580 Rico Rejoso: Last, retro, and this was supposed to be our next step for this, ret… for this cycle.
38 00:14:08.370 ⇒ 00:14:13.080 Rico Rejoso: Now, let’s see, were we able to, …
39 00:14:13.460 ⇒ 00:14:16.910 Rico Rejoso: maintain the collaboration for the GTM team.
40 00:14:18.730 ⇒ 00:14:25.260 Ryan Brosas: Yeah, we tried, … yeah, I tried, like, I, like.
41 00:14:26.160 ⇒ 00:14:31.370 Ryan Brosas: I touched base with Steve to make sure that we are
42 00:14:31.810 ⇒ 00:14:40.889 Ryan Brosas: They… well, you are aligned on the follow-ups, the stuff that’s needed for… for the sales side?
43 00:14:41.730 ⇒ 00:14:43.489 Ryan Brosas: And yeah, I think, that’s…
44 00:14:43.730 ⇒ 00:14:48.940 Ryan Brosas: good, or I… Otam reached out to me to, to, like.
45 00:14:49.860 ⇒ 00:15:02.109 Ryan Brosas: teach Sid to be more proactive, but… yeah, I’m not sure. So, yeah, I think it’s really good, but, you know, Hannah is not here for, like, a week.
46 00:15:02.510 ⇒ 00:15:11.740 Ryan Brosas: Yeah, I think it’s good, still good. There’s some stuff that has been, you know, slipped… almost slipped through, but it’s… it’s good.
47 00:15:11.740 ⇒ 00:15:17.339 Rico Rejoso: You manage, okay. Well, you mentioned you try, so were there, like, any, …
48 00:15:17.710 ⇒ 00:15:27.920 Rico Rejoso: problem or issues encountered, during or with the collaboration with the GTMs, GTM team? Were there any issues that you.
49 00:15:27.920 ⇒ 00:15:29.370 Ryan Brosas: The, ….
50 00:15:29.370 ⇒ 00:15:30.110 Rico Rejoso: with us?
51 00:15:30.440 ⇒ 00:15:37.230 Ryan Brosas: Yeah, he is… she was agreeing with what I’m saying, but she’s not executing it.
52 00:15:37.570 ⇒ 00:15:41.879 Ryan Brosas: like, I said, to follow up, like,
53 00:15:42.210 ⇒ 00:15:51.529 Ryan Brosas: Like, early morning, then if there’s no reply, follow up with 2 hours, and end of shift.
54 00:15:52.000 ⇒ 00:15:58.300 Ryan Brosas: So, that hasn’t been applied, and he missed most of these.
55 00:15:58.750 ⇒ 00:16:09.320 Ryan Brosas: And… I’m not sure what happened to her, but, … I think there’s no commitment.
56 00:16:09.590 ⇒ 00:16:12.389 Ryan Brosas: On… her part, I guess.
57 00:16:12.790 ⇒ 00:16:20.400 Rico Rejoso: Alright, thank you for that feedback. So, you mentioned that the communication, the planning, is there, but the execution was a bit off.
58 00:16:20.780 ⇒ 00:16:21.490 Rico Rejoso: Truck.
59 00:16:21.660 ⇒ 00:16:33.880 Rico Rejoso: So that was the issue, why you mentioned that though you were, like, being proactive to helping her, you tried, but somehow or some point, there were some issues encountered, right?
60 00:16:34.550 ⇒ 00:16:35.230 Ryan Brosas: Yeah.
61 00:16:35.460 ⇒ 00:16:47.359 Rico Rejoso: Okay, no worries. Another one for Ryan, you mentioned put 1-2 days for content, then focus on GTM sales for 3 days. Has this been effective for you so far?
62 00:16:47.790 ⇒ 00:17:03.310 Ryan Brosas: Well, sometimes, on the two, like, paydays for GTM, I am all… I’m doing content also, like, some… sometimes I also do content because there’s some content that has been…
63 00:17:03.530 ⇒ 00:17:13.729 Ryan Brosas: needed provision, like the one that we have, I revised, like, one, I needed to revise another
64 00:17:13.839 ⇒ 00:17:18.890 Ryan Brosas: too, but yeah. I think it’s really, …
65 00:17:19.599 ⇒ 00:17:25.829 Ryan Brosas: It’s really effective for me, because I can focus on content on the first two days.
66 00:17:25.930 ⇒ 00:17:30.310 Ryan Brosas: And I can just, you know, nail down that.
67 00:17:30.440 ⇒ 00:17:45.900 Ryan Brosas: And, well, well, the, the routine is I was doing content, then, I was, well, collaborating with, with Ray, with that, with the video stuff.
68 00:17:46.320 ⇒ 00:17:50.549 Ryan Brosas: With the… what do you call this? Script writing or something?
69 00:17:50.980 ⇒ 00:18:04.310 Ryan Brosas: And… yeah, I think it’s good. I can… I can spend, like, one day to collab with him, and one day to write, the whole week content for Robert and Utam.
70 00:18:04.610 ⇒ 00:18:06.040 Rico Rejoso: Okay, got it.
71 00:18:06.440 ⇒ 00:18:21.619 Rico Rejoso: It’s good to hear that you were able to at least manage some of your time, and make sure that you can fulfill your duties, both on GTM sales and the content stuff, okay? Foray, you mentioned start pitching video concepts.
72 00:18:22.260 ⇒ 00:18:29.600 Raymund Verzosa: Yeah, … yeah, we actually… me and Ryan yesterday added, some tasks in linear.
73 00:18:29.600 ⇒ 00:18:31.950 Rico Rejoso: Video, video ideas, so, yeah.
74 00:18:32.800 ⇒ 00:18:52.679 Rico Rejoso: Okay, wonderful. So I think all… I mean, we were able to follow up with all the checklists or next steps that we had from our previous retro. Let’s move on to this current retro. So, let’s have a few discussions on what went well. So, I saw 3 stuff, or 3 toads here coming from Ryan. Can you give us a bit of an overview of all these notes?
75 00:18:53.600 ⇒ 00:19:02.050 Ryan Brosas: Yeah, … well, that’s… Stuck here on… I feel like the second.
76 00:19:03.550 ⇒ 00:19:05.540 Ryan Brosas: Yeah, as…
77 00:19:05.900 ⇒ 00:19:24.479 Ryan Brosas: on Otam’s profile, like, there’s, like, a missed day of, like, content, but we are still doing great. Also, like, he posted another content, which is, like, two a day, and in almost, like.
78 00:19:24.600 ⇒ 00:19:33.060 Ryan Brosas: Well… almost rip off the announcement, for Propel.
79 00:19:33.560 ⇒ 00:19:37.840 Ryan Brosas: So, but it still did a good performance.
80 00:19:38.190 ⇒ 00:19:52.360 Ryan Brosas: We did, like, 628 impressions, and, like, 19 engagement for that post, and I’m not, like, one comment on that. I’m not sure how is the…
81 00:19:54.450 ⇒ 00:19:57.100 Ryan Brosas: How many this is…
82 00:19:58.630 ⇒ 00:20:16.070 Ryan Brosas: Yeah, so we almost got, like, 100 attendees for the event, and I think that’s really good, as we just advertised something, and Otam posted something, like, technical, and that is not really good on…
83 00:20:16.510 ⇒ 00:20:24.620 Ryan Brosas: posting on LinkedIn, so… yeah, I think it’s a win-win for me, but, we could definitely, like.
84 00:20:24.790 ⇒ 00:20:28.560 Ryan Brosas: … Like, what do you call this?
85 00:20:28.720 ⇒ 00:20:37.619 Ryan Brosas: Take advantage of these thoughts, like this… this content, to post it by today, or… you know, …
86 00:20:38.330 ⇒ 00:20:40.959 Ryan Brosas: Tomorrow by, after the, …
87 00:20:41.190 ⇒ 00:20:44.869 Ryan Brosas: Promo, or the announcement of the event.
88 00:20:45.270 ⇒ 00:20:51.970 Ryan Brosas: Yeah, I think that’s… it’s still good, we still have, like, a good amount of engagement, and…
89 00:20:51.980 ⇒ 00:21:07.140 Ryan Brosas: Yeah, I think, Chris, well, not satisfied to the fullest, but, well, I’m pretty happy about… about the… the… the result that we are getting from Utam, and we want to also, like, well.
90 00:21:08.520 ⇒ 00:21:13.099 Ryan Brosas: replicate this, result to Robert’s account.
91 00:21:16.970 ⇒ 00:21:21.739 Rico Rejoso: That’s great, as long as, you know, it’s being effective on your end, so…
92 00:21:23.240 ⇒ 00:21:30.320 Rico Rejoso: For UTM, the content side went well, and you finished most of the GM initiative of this cycle.
93 00:21:31.690 ⇒ 00:21:39.259 Ryan Brosas: Yeah, … I said almost because they are… I’m just waiting for Robert. I think he’s…
94 00:21:39.560 ⇒ 00:21:52.419 Ryan Brosas: busy at this moment, so, it’s almost so… but most of the GTM campaign is in needs review, and I think that if I just got, like, …
95 00:21:52.540 ⇒ 00:21:55.320 Ryan Brosas: a response from him, I will…
96 00:21:55.570 ⇒ 00:22:04.600 Ryan Brosas: It… this… this, most of this, com… this, what do you call this, this task will be mostly, completed or done.
97 00:22:04.600 ⇒ 00:22:08.960 Rico Rejoso: Okay. So you just need to go signal to have everything finalized and pushed through, right?
98 00:22:09.340 ⇒ 00:22:09.950 Ryan Brosas: Yeah.
99 00:22:10.400 ⇒ 00:22:11.570 Ryan Brosas: Alright, wonderful.
100 00:22:12.400 ⇒ 00:22:15.960 Rico Rejoso: Okay, next up, you…
101 00:22:16.080 ⇒ 00:22:27.570 Rico Rejoso: How about Ray? You mentioned collaboration with Ryan. I think you mentioned the same thing last retro. Can you further elaborate on, you know, how this went well for the cycle? What were the changes?
102 00:22:27.570 ⇒ 00:22:34.480 Raymund Verzosa: … yeah, yeah, I think I included this… I have put this in what needs improvement last….
103 00:22:34.480 ⇒ 00:22:35.410 Rico Rejoso: Oh, yeah, what new.
104 00:22:35.410 ⇒ 00:22:39.710 Raymund Verzosa: Yeah, yeah, so, yeah. So, collaboration with Ryan went well, we…
105 00:22:40.120 ⇒ 00:22:46.860 Raymund Verzosa: He also provided me a tool for scriptwriting, so… Yeah, that’s…
106 00:22:47.020 ⇒ 00:22:52.320 Raymund Verzosa: That’s, good, good stuff, so, yeah. And… in terms of…
107 00:22:52.460 ⇒ 00:22:59.800 Raymund Verzosa: Video editing, I think everything went well, like… like the… TNT highlights and stuff, and…
108 00:23:00.520 ⇒ 00:23:05.030 Raymund Verzosa: And making the videos for the other stuff, yeah.
109 00:23:05.030 ⇒ 00:23:05.630 Rico Rejoso: Yeah.
110 00:23:06.010 ⇒ 00:23:09.409 Rico Rejoso: Those… you mentioned the TNT, those… downward and new…
111 00:23:09.840 ⇒ 00:23:16.999 Rico Rejoso: task given this week. Were you able to make any progress for it, or, like, at least finish 70%?
112 00:23:17.000 ⇒ 00:23:25.640 Raymund Verzosa: Oh, yeah, I’m almost done with it right now, the long-form one, but the… what I was saying was the… the highlight one.
113 00:23:25.640 ⇒ 00:23:26.720 Rico Rejoso: Oh, good.
114 00:23:27.070 ⇒ 00:23:27.680 Raymund Verzosa: Yeah.
115 00:23:28.020 ⇒ 00:23:33.629 Rico Rejoso: Alright, wonderful. So, okay. So, on my list, I have here two notes.
116 00:23:35.780 ⇒ 00:23:40.320 Rico Rejoso: Made it through the week despite Hannah being out of office.
117 00:23:40.560 ⇒ 00:23:44.820 Rico Rejoso: So, I know you all, like, feel what it’s like to…
118 00:23:45.060 ⇒ 00:23:56.290 Rico Rejoso: don’t have Hanung on… on the other side as well, finalizing some decision, like, guiding us through some of the, what Robert and Utong
119 00:23:56.300 ⇒ 00:24:09.729 Rico Rejoso: Once. That goes for both the marketing and content, if I believe. So, what went well, we were able to, like, cover the 50% of the cycle, even though Hannah was out. Great job on that one.
120 00:24:09.830 ⇒ 00:24:11.460 Rico Rejoso: Another thing is that
121 00:24:13.980 ⇒ 00:24:33.230 Rico Rejoso: although it’s not… it’s not something new for us, we still had completed more than 50% of the cycle tickets, okay? It’s better than, you know, having less than 50%, although we’re, like, a bit lower than we were than, this last cycle, but there’s a reason for it, and we will discuss it later on, okay?
122 00:24:33.470 ⇒ 00:24:42.259 Rico Rejoso: How about, let’s move on to what needs improvement. Ryan, I see that you have 3 tickets as well, 3 notes as well. Can you, explain it to us?
123 00:24:43.870 ⇒ 00:24:57.120 Ryan Brosas: Yeah, so topic, transcription and thoughts from Robert, as he said something that, he, his content, requirement is different.
124 00:24:57.550 ⇒ 00:25:04.089 Ryan Brosas: So, … this will be, like, a challenge for me, because…
125 00:25:04.620 ⇒ 00:25:10.249 Ryan Brosas: Thought leadership, thought, like, personal, like.
126 00:25:10.700 ⇒ 00:25:19.440 Ryan Brosas: what do you call this? … See what he said… … Sorry.
127 00:25:21.030 ⇒ 00:25:26.379 Ryan Brosas: Alright, here, 50% authentic personal stories.
128 00:25:26.860 ⇒ 00:25:27.880 Rico Rejoso: which….
129 00:25:28.080 ⇒ 00:25:43.269 Ryan Brosas: It’s not really great, because most of their time, they are talking, or, like, in the sales, or doing business. And this will really block off the content creations.
130 00:25:43.410 ⇒ 00:25:55.770 Ryan Brosas: on ding… yeah. So, within this, I will be, well, following up with him constantly, so… yeah.
131 00:25:56.260 ⇒ 00:25:58.990 Ryan Brosas: That will be my go-to…
132 00:25:59.220 ⇒ 00:26:06.139 Ryan Brosas: Strategy for this, or my action for this, is to get most of, like, stories from him.
133 00:26:06.660 ⇒ 00:26:12.070 Ryan Brosas: And… yeah, I hope that he won’t be annoyed, because I will be annoying as hell.
134 00:26:12.470 ⇒ 00:26:13.550 Rico Rejoso: Okay.
135 00:26:14.310 ⇒ 00:26:15.429 Rico Rejoso: Understand that.
136 00:26:15.720 ⇒ 00:26:17.060 Rico Rejoso: About the handoff?
137 00:26:18.070 ⇒ 00:26:27.599 Ryan Brosas: Yeah, we almost missed that, because I’m not sure if… if that is… well, I’m not sure if it’s anyone’s fault or something, but…
138 00:26:28.200 ⇒ 00:26:39.289 Ryan Brosas: As on the propuls side, I got ignored, like, what to do, so that almost slipped out, and, …
139 00:26:39.580 ⇒ 00:26:50.129 Ryan Brosas: I just… I did, like, a quick, wrap for that, event, the announcement for… from, for Utam’s side.
140 00:26:50.570 ⇒ 00:26:57.599 Ryan Brosas: And… I think, a hands-off, like, a good process of hands-off for, for, like.
141 00:26:57.780 ⇒ 00:27:03.029 Ryan Brosas: Because it’s just a… for me, it’s like a shotgun or something, but yeah, I think that…
142 00:27:03.160 ⇒ 00:27:13.960 Ryan Brosas: it’s still fine, we did manage to do it well, but yeah, I’m not sure if it’s Prophole’s fault, because I tried to ask them what
143 00:27:15.280 ⇒ 00:27:18.220 Ryan Brosas: What can I help them to do?
144 00:27:19.200 ⇒ 00:27:21.820 Ryan Brosas: And that’s… that’s Tuesday.
145 00:27:22.360 ⇒ 00:27:29.979 Ryan Brosas: And they asked for, like, Wednesday, they posted, like, the first promotional
146 00:27:30.140 ⇒ 00:27:33.589 Ryan Brosas: Polls, or the announcement for the event.
147 00:27:34.020 ⇒ 00:27:36.830 Ryan Brosas: … Yeah.
148 00:27:37.110 ⇒ 00:27:45.679 Ryan Brosas: I think… it’s also my fault that I’m not… I didn’t really read the whole conversation, but, …
149 00:27:46.090 ⇒ 00:27:51.039 Ryan Brosas: Yeah, well, I don’t really have time to read all of the threads.
150 00:27:51.140 ⇒ 00:27:59.419 Ryan Brosas: But, yeah, I think that’s pretty much it. It’s either, like, a good, like, handoff or something would be great.
151 00:27:59.640 ⇒ 00:28:09.110 Ryan Brosas: Or, like, a ticket or something, so we can’t really miss… Think out, or…
152 00:28:09.220 ⇒ 00:28:17.200 Ryan Brosas: I’m not sure, because, I just… I just… I just replied to… to the proposed slide.
153 00:28:17.420 ⇒ 00:28:29.440 Ryan Brosas: And… yeah, I didn’t really have, like, a gut… got a response from them, so… I think that’s one, and it’s also my fault also, not reading the whole thread.
154 00:28:30.090 ⇒ 00:28:37.369 Rico Rejoso: That’s fine, I understand. Okay. Well, let’s put an action in it later, as we proceed to the next step, okay?
155 00:28:37.850 ⇒ 00:28:43.920 Rico Rejoso: All right, so also, Ray, you mentioned here prioritization. Can you further elaborate this?
156 00:28:44.670 ⇒ 00:28:53.400 Raymund Verzosa: Yeah, … when new tasks get added that needs to be prioritized, like…
157 00:28:53.870 ⇒ 00:28:59.929 Raymund Verzosa: I… I tend to get, reshuffled on what I’m working on, so, like.
158 00:29:00.130 ⇒ 00:29:06.260 Raymund Verzosa: If something gets blocked, I switch focus again. So, it’s like a back-and-forth stuff, so…
159 00:29:06.740 ⇒ 00:29:10.139 Raymund Verzosa: Yeah, so, yeah, what my next step on that was, like.
160 00:29:10.530 ⇒ 00:29:13.529 Raymund Verzosa: Create tickets so things don’t slip out.
161 00:29:14.100 ⇒ 00:29:21.989 Raymund Verzosa: Just like the, … Just like the long-form one, because, yeah, I was switching prioritization left and right.
162 00:29:23.330 ⇒ 00:29:32.519 Rico Rejoso: I got it, no worries. And actually, it’s part of our next step, our action towards some of what needs improvement, okay? Well, on my end.
163 00:29:32.520 ⇒ 00:29:32.840 Raymund Verzosa: Yeah.
164 00:29:32.840 ⇒ 00:29:37.919 Rico Rejoso: two tickets as well. We have… the total cycle tickets is around 75.
165 00:29:38.110 ⇒ 00:29:51.220 Rico Rejoso: For that cycle, which is 47% higher than the previous cycle, so we need to work on prioritizing what needs to be prioritized, and moving the non-prio to the next cycle.
166 00:29:51.370 ⇒ 00:29:56.859 Rico Rejoso: As well. Also, we need to work on accomplishing ad hoc tasks.
167 00:29:57.340 ⇒ 00:30:09.409 Rico Rejoso: Well, for me, we had, like, a lot of ad hoc stuff this cycle, so I think that’s one issue. And I don’t know if, Hannah being out of office affected
168 00:30:09.590 ⇒ 00:30:11.980 Rico Rejoso: Handling those stuff, but…
169 00:30:12.190 ⇒ 00:30:24.980 Rico Rejoso: Yeah, definitely there’s, like, a factor why we weren’t able to, like, you know, make it, like, more than 70-80% of the cycle’s tickets, okay? But we’ll take a look at it later on, right? Now, for the next step.
170 00:30:25.420 ⇒ 00:30:26.270 Rico Rejoso: gate?
171 00:30:27.060 ⇒ 00:30:28.100 Rico Rejoso: Alright.
172 00:30:29.050 ⇒ 00:30:29.750 Ryan Brosas: I’m sorry?
173 00:30:30.110 ⇒ 00:30:31.080 Rico Rejoso: Or the next step?
174 00:30:32.660 ⇒ 00:30:35.150 Ryan Brosas: Next up… ….
175 00:30:35.150 ⇒ 00:30:40.209 Rico Rejoso: You mentioned add more hours for documentation. It’s like, what do you mean by add more hours?
176 00:30:41.130 ⇒ 00:30:59.840 Ryan Brosas: Yeah, so most of my hours is going to, like, collaborating with Ray, what do you call this? Writing content for, for both CEO and, well, GTM, and our, well, sales side, and I haven’t got, like.
177 00:30:59.940 ⇒ 00:31:05.920 Ryan Brosas: time to do some of the… well, the boring stuff, which is the campaign riff.
178 00:31:06.150 ⇒ 00:31:17.020 Ryan Brosas: Which is needed on the Marketing Hub, so I need to put, like, separate hours to do that, because I have a ton of…
179 00:31:17.130 ⇒ 00:31:22.820 Ryan Brosas: a campaign that I’ve been starting, and, I’m way, way…
180 00:31:23.490 ⇒ 00:31:32.320 Ryan Brosas: long to… to add them, because I think this is, like, our requirements and, like, a process that we want to implement on…
181 00:31:32.560 ⇒ 00:31:34.860 Ryan Brosas: campaigns, or GTN.
182 00:31:36.060 ⇒ 00:31:40.750 Rico Rejoso: So you mentioned 8 hours, is this, like, something, or something outside your 8-hour shift?
183 00:31:41.810 ⇒ 00:31:54.679 Ryan Brosas: It might, but I’m not really sure, because there’s some, some tasks that it, you know, just sprouted out of some… somewhere, and… and if…
184 00:31:54.680 ⇒ 00:32:02.210 Ryan Brosas: So, instead of just, you know, doing this, I’m… my focus is directed to that.
185 00:32:03.060 ⇒ 00:32:05.620 Rico Rejoso: Okay, I got it, no worries.
186 00:32:06.530 ⇒ 00:32:09.880 Rico Rejoso: Alright, for Ray, you mentioned he’ll create tickets?
187 00:32:10.650 ⇒ 00:32:12.839 Raymund Verzosa: Yeah, I think that’s, …
188 00:32:13.370 ⇒ 00:32:23.060 Raymund Verzosa: That’s in connection with what I said earlier, which is, yeah, great, Marti, as to… Improve my prioritization.
189 00:32:23.500 ⇒ 00:32:33.149 Rico Rejoso: Okay, got it. Well, I have two things on our next… our next step, or action items. That is, first, workload management, okay?
190 00:32:33.720 ⇒ 00:32:39.270 Rico Rejoso: as I mentioned a while ago, there’s, like, a 47% increase.
191 00:32:39.570 ⇒ 00:32:48.490 Rico Rejoso: from the previous cycle tickets to this cycle tickets, so I think that’s one thing why, one reason why we,
192 00:32:49.060 ⇒ 00:32:53.150 Rico Rejoso: Staggered on finishing all those tickets this week.
193 00:32:53.430 ⇒ 00:33:04.859 Rico Rejoso: I think it’s not just overwhelming for you guys, but that kind of increase, 47%, is really a lot compared to what we have. So, it means that your pacing has been affected.
194 00:33:05.030 ⇒ 00:33:16.849 Rico Rejoso: And it also resulted to a lot of tickets being left out. And also, we need to, as Ray mentioned, we need to create tickets and have all tasks in linear, okay? Not because…
195 00:33:17.040 ⇒ 00:33:26.689 Rico Rejoso: We just want you guys to, or not only for documentation purposes, but basically the task of linear is to, make sure that
196 00:33:26.820 ⇒ 00:33:36.389 Rico Rejoso: You don’t miss out anything from your task, or from your, you know, from work, and make sure that you can have everything accomplished with that time.
197 00:33:36.600 ⇒ 00:33:48.800 Rico Rejoso: with a deadline, and also with the priorities, okay? That’s why we set up those deadlines, that’s why we set up those, priority from low to high and urgent.
198 00:33:48.900 ⇒ 00:34:05.910 Rico Rejoso: to make sure we know what to tackle, and also for us to manage or see if this is something that is low priority, we can move it to the next cycle if it’s not that urgent. And make sure you guys focus on the urgent stuff or high priority stuff, especially if you guys have a lot of tickets on your linear board, okay?
199 00:34:09.260 ⇒ 00:34:24.759 Rico Rejoso: So let’s just make sure we can have that followed, and I think that’s our preceding, next step or checklist for next cycle, okay? Now, while we’re at it also, do you guys have any questions? I mean, first, do you guys have any questions?
200 00:34:26.310 ⇒ 00:34:27.290 Ryan Brosas: Oh, no.
201 00:34:28.510 ⇒ 00:34:29.610 Raymund Verzosa: Yeah, I’m good.
202 00:34:29.860 ⇒ 00:34:44.580 Rico Rejoso: Alrighty. While we’re here, let’s also do the stand-up and look at the tickets. I wasn’t… I mean, I’m not a… I mean, I’m absent yesterday, so I don’t know if there’s any promise or anything, but let’s take a look at it, okay?
203 00:34:48.350 ⇒ 00:34:51.140 Rico Rejoso: One second. Let’s proceed to stand up now.
204 00:34:56.639 ⇒ 00:34:59.139 Rico Rejoso: Alrighty, you guys can see my screen?
205 00:35:00.130 ⇒ 00:35:00.780 Ryan Brosas: Yeah.
206 00:35:00.940 ⇒ 00:35:01.580 Rico Rejoso: Okay.
207 00:35:01.800 ⇒ 00:35:06.510 Rico Rejoso: So you mentioned you guys… Created some tickets yesterday, right?
208 00:35:07.180 ⇒ 00:35:08.349 Rico Rejoso: Yeah, I can see here.
209 00:35:08.580 ⇒ 00:35:11.160 Rico Rejoso: Some of them are not yet labeled, that’s fine.
210 00:35:12.030 ⇒ 00:35:12.790 Rico Rejoso: See?
211 00:35:13.050 ⇒ 00:35:16.179 Rico Rejoso: Those flashy red deadlines to the…
212 00:35:17.080 ⇒ 00:35:21.919 Rico Rejoso: It’s really nothing out for you guys. So yeah, let’s proceed to first labeling all of this stuff.
213 00:35:22.820 ⇒ 00:35:24.690 Rico Rejoso: But before we get to that one.
214 00:35:25.720 ⇒ 00:35:28.019 Rico Rejoso: We all know that this will be moved.
215 00:35:28.300 ⇒ 00:35:30.040 Rico Rejoso: To the next cycle.
216 00:35:31.430 ⇒ 00:35:34.320 Rico Rejoso: Let’s put in the project for this one, add blue.
217 00:35:34.600 ⇒ 00:35:35.420 Rico Rejoso: We’ll event.
218 00:35:35.420 ⇒ 00:35:45.019 Ryan Brosas: that… I’m not sure what project is that, but I think that is documentation for sales, ….
219 00:35:52.040 ⇒ 00:35:54.749 Ryan Brosas: Yeah, I think, content for sales is good.
220 00:35:55.910 ⇒ 00:35:57.600 Rico Rejoso: content for sales.
221 00:35:57.960 ⇒ 00:36:00.660 Ryan Brosas: Because, this is going to be, like…
222 00:36:01.020 ⇒ 00:36:19.249 Ryan Brosas: I will be putting the, earlier engagement, or UTAM’s engagement, to the… to a Notion, and we will be sending that to some of the organizee, so we can, you know, we can promote Utam or Robert.
223 00:36:19.300 ⇒ 00:36:26.840 Ryan Brosas: To do some talk, and that will, like, increase their, you know, authority and, you know, get some leads.
224 00:36:26.910 ⇒ 00:36:28.099 Ryan Brosas: the same way.
225 00:36:28.230 ⇒ 00:36:28.940 Ryan Brosas: Understood.
226 00:36:29.890 ⇒ 00:36:30.490 Rico Rejoso: Okay.
227 00:36:32.920 ⇒ 00:36:36.090 Rico Rejoso: Let me just seed here… Okay.
228 00:36:37.460 ⇒ 00:36:41.120 Rico Rejoso: Never mind 75, we’re up to 80 tickets.
229 00:36:41.300 ⇒ 00:36:42.410 Rico Rejoso: the cycle.
230 00:36:43.050 ⇒ 00:36:47.450 Rico Rejoso: Wherein the completed one is only 36, so we went down.
231 00:36:48.670 ⇒ 00:36:54.369 Rico Rejoso: From supposedly more than 50% to having 36 seconds compared to 45%.
232 00:36:55.300 ⇒ 00:37:11.120 Rico Rejoso: No worries, it’s all said and done. We still have today to accomplish some of this stuff. And I see here that most of the stuff are on needs review, so what you guys need to focus are on the needs revision and in-progress stuff. This one is blocked, so we can probably move it to next cycle now, right?
233 00:37:11.330 ⇒ 00:37:12.090 Rico Rejoso: Great.
234 00:37:12.490 ⇒ 00:37:13.729 Raymund Verzosa: Yes.
235 00:37:14.210 ⇒ 00:37:17.880 Rico Rejoso: Okay, let me show you the feedback and move it to the next cycle.
236 00:37:20.450 ⇒ 00:37:26.979 Rico Rejoso: Okay, anything that you guys won’t be doing today, like, for Ray, tutorial for GTM or AI?
237 00:37:27.210 ⇒ 00:37:29.170 Rico Rejoso: We can move it to the next cycle now.
238 00:37:29.170 ⇒ 00:37:31.260 Raymund Verzosa: Yeah, next cycle.
239 00:37:33.130 ⇒ 00:37:34.929 Rico Rejoso: Okay, so you can just check for today.
240 00:37:35.060 ⇒ 00:37:39.410 Rico Rejoso: focus on things that you need to do. How about this one, Ryan? 55.
241 00:37:40.140 ⇒ 00:37:46.730 Ryan Brosas: on… Degeneration, no, I haven’t touched that.
242 00:37:47.090 ⇒ 00:37:48.130 Ryan Brosas: And….
243 00:37:48.130 ⇒ 00:37:49.329 Rico Rejoso: Get to the next cycle now.
244 00:37:50.540 ⇒ 00:37:51.460 Rico Rejoso: What do you think?
245 00:37:53.060 ⇒ 00:37:55.430 Ryan Brosas: Yeah, we can move it to the next cycle.
246 00:37:55.660 ⇒ 00:37:56.290 Rico Rejoso: Okay.
247 00:37:57.220 ⇒ 00:38:05.020 Rico Rejoso: Oh, you see, guys, I think, what I meant by workload management was because not… I mean…
248 00:38:05.780 ⇒ 00:38:11.219 Rico Rejoso: we tend to, like, think that we can get everything done. Well, I know you guys are hard workers.
249 00:38:11.420 ⇒ 00:38:13.710 Rico Rejoso: But… Peace.
250 00:38:13.850 ⇒ 00:38:31.000 Rico Rejoso: don’t overwork yourself, like, for this one, you have, like, a lot of pending stuff for today. If you know yourself that there’s, like, a lot of things on your plate, and you can handle some of the stuff, if it’s, like, medium or low cryo, let’s move it to the next, cycle, or no.
251 00:38:31.140 ⇒ 00:38:36.159 Rico Rejoso: move the due date as well, okay? So you can lessen the pressure on your shoulder.
252 00:38:36.340 ⇒ 00:38:37.110 Rico Rejoso: Okay?
253 00:38:39.840 ⇒ 00:38:40.370 Raymund Verzosa: Okay.
254 00:38:40.980 ⇒ 00:38:43.020 Rico Rejoso: I mean, I just don’t want you guys to, like, you know…
255 00:38:43.310 ⇒ 00:38:50.109 Rico Rejoso: Oh my god, you have, like, a lot of web bumps today and everything, and you guys were, like, panicking something like that, because you haven’t done most of the stuff.
256 00:38:50.770 ⇒ 00:38:56.810 Rico Rejoso: So we just want to lessen that part. And also, this one’s urgent file…
257 00:38:57.110 ⇒ 00:38:59.380 Rico Rejoso: How about this one, Ryan? This one that needs.
258 00:38:59.380 ⇒ 00:39:00.070 Ryan Brosas: Sure.
259 00:39:00.070 ⇒ 00:39:01.220 Rico Rejoso: Any update on this?
260 00:39:01.700 ⇒ 00:39:07.890 Ryan Brosas: Nate revision, yeah, I’m currently tackling one by one, and, I got…
261 00:39:08.730 ⇒ 00:39:17.009 Ryan Brosas: I only did the case study one, but we’ll be doing that next week, I guess, or this weekend.
262 00:39:17.160 ⇒ 00:39:30.449 Ryan Brosas: if, I think, yeah, this weekend, because, I will be studying and, starting to do some content for myself also, like, yeah, this weekend also, I can…
263 00:39:30.640 ⇒ 00:39:35.020 Ryan Brosas: Like, spend, like, an hour or, like, 30 minutes for that.
264 00:39:35.590 ⇒ 00:39:42.770 Rico Rejoso: Okay, you mentioned this weekend, so probably it’s not covered within this cycle, so I probably is gonna move it to the next cycle, okay?
265 00:39:44.320 ⇒ 00:39:45.120 Ryan Brosas: That’s fine.
266 00:39:45.650 ⇒ 00:39:47.909 Rico Rejoso: But this one is medium priority as well.
267 00:39:48.870 ⇒ 00:39:55.699 Rico Rejoso: Okay, so that brings us down to, like, in-progress stuff, which you guys will be focusing on today.
268 00:39:57.570 ⇒ 00:40:00.190 Rico Rejoso: Okay, let me just take a look at it.
269 00:40:00.550 ⇒ 00:40:05.420 Rico Rejoso: You mentioned, Ray, you’re almost… Done with the long-form video for the.
270 00:40:05.420 ⇒ 00:40:11.360 Raymund Verzosa: Yeah, I’ll be sending the… For a review later.
271 00:40:11.670 ⇒ 00:40:13.240 Rico Rejoso: Okay, stand with you.
272 00:40:14.130 ⇒ 00:40:21.650 Rico Rejoso: Let’s see… the GTM… How about this one, Ryan, for in progress? Out of 100%.
273 00:40:22.210 ⇒ 00:40:25.020 Rico Rejoso: Can you tell me the progress for the 209?
274 00:40:26.240 ⇒ 00:40:34.540 Ryan Brosas: 2019, I already put the… well, the structure of that. I just need to get the…
275 00:40:34.820 ⇒ 00:40:38.929 Ryan Brosas: Metrics of the total of our promotion.
276 00:40:39.170 ⇒ 00:40:44.530 Ryan Brosas: Yeah, I think that’s… that’s the only thing that is missing there.
277 00:40:45.360 ⇒ 00:40:50.769 Ryan Brosas: And… yeah, and I was also, like, I think you can move this to the next, because…
278 00:40:51.000 ⇒ 00:40:55.260 Ryan Brosas: This is be… this is something Hannah is.
279 00:40:55.510 ⇒ 00:41:01.340 Ryan Brosas: is covering, so I will be consulting her on that also.
280 00:41:01.530 ⇒ 00:41:03.550 Rico Rejoso: And you mentioned moving to the next cycle, right?
281 00:41:03.860 ⇒ 00:41:04.690 Ryan Brosas: Yeah.
282 00:41:04.690 ⇒ 00:41:05.790 Rico Rejoso: Okay, that’s fine.
283 00:41:06.020 ⇒ 00:41:13.780 Ryan Brosas: Because, she will be rewriting most of my stuff there, so, I don’t really want to, like.
284 00:41:14.990 ⇒ 00:41:15.740 Rico Rejoso: No, very sleepy.
285 00:41:15.740 ⇒ 00:41:17.410 Ryan Brosas: Done that right away.
286 00:41:17.850 ⇒ 00:41:21.090 Rico Rejoso: I like that. How about for the GTM lookalike ABC Home?
287 00:41:21.360 ⇒ 00:41:35.309 Ryan Brosas: Yeah, I will be doing that today, well, I will be spending additional hours today, so yeah, I think, I will be doing that and, start the campaign as per Utam.
288 00:41:36.090 ⇒ 00:41:40.380 Rico Rejoso: Like, I mean, you mentioned you started this one, right? And somewhere.
289 00:41:40.380 ⇒ 00:41:41.139 Ryan Brosas: Yeah, we’ll be….
290 00:41:41.140 ⇒ 00:41:42.140 Rico Rejoso: 50%.
291 00:41:42.780 ⇒ 00:41:43.970 Rico Rejoso: In progress?
292 00:41:45.110 ⇒ 00:41:46.350 Ryan Brosas: Not that…
293 00:41:48.040 ⇒ 00:42:03.829 Ryan Brosas: UTM lookalike is, I just started that, or, well, I didn’t… haven’t started that, it’s just… just, you know, sprouted out of some, nowhere, and that is something that Sid’s supposed to do.
294 00:42:03.960 ⇒ 00:42:08.049 Rico Rejoso: So I will be the one who’s going to do that.
295 00:42:08.330 ⇒ 00:42:10.920 Ryan Brosas: Today, because, …
296 00:42:11.550 ⇒ 00:42:25.279 Ryan Brosas: As I said to, Otem that I’m almost done with the GTM stuff, well, almost done, because I just need some responses to… to, Robert, and I can…
297 00:42:25.520 ⇒ 00:42:29.899 Ryan Brosas: Finish those all, all, finish those, those campaigns also.
298 00:42:29.940 ⇒ 00:42:33.859 Ryan Brosas: And, yeah, I can… that I can work on.
299 00:42:33.870 ⇒ 00:42:51.140 Ryan Brosas: this, on this, what do you call this new campaign, which is a lookalike, so it’s pretty simple, but needed, a bit of time to, yeah, to check, if it’s fit to our ICP and fit to the requirements of, OTAMSAT.
300 00:42:51.740 ⇒ 00:42:52.990 Rico Rejoso: Okay, great.
301 00:42:53.370 ⇒ 00:42:56.000 Rico Rejoso: And for the blog post or recap for event?
302 00:42:56.590 ⇒ 00:43:13.020 Ryan Brosas: Yeah, that… that got missed, on… that… that got slipped on my mind, so, I needed… I think I can do that over the weekend. Yeah, because I got, like, left and right here.
303 00:43:14.740 ⇒ 00:43:18.880 Rico Rejoso: You mentioned the weekend, so we can probably move within the next cycle, right?
304 00:43:19.890 ⇒ 00:43:21.139 Ryan Brosas: Yeah, but…
305 00:43:21.390 ⇒ 00:43:31.019 Ryan Brosas: Yeah, we can move it, and I can just, publish the, like, follow up with Otam over the weekend, and publish that, and done with that.
306 00:43:31.320 ⇒ 00:43:32.610 Rico Rejoso: Okay, gotcha.
307 00:43:33.800 ⇒ 00:43:34.630 Rico Rejoso: Alrighty.
308 00:43:34.760 ⇒ 00:43:42.270 Rico Rejoso: So, for now, what we can do, how about, I mean, for, you guys need to focus on the in-progress stuff. Basically, you got
309 00:43:42.440 ⇒ 00:43:44.710 Rico Rejoso: One ticket each?
310 00:43:44.990 ⇒ 00:43:55.030 Rico Rejoso: And the same thing is follow up on the needs review, okay? So, last, last time I recall, you mentioned that the needs review stuff are, like, all done, and you’re just….
311 00:43:55.030 ⇒ 00:43:55.350 Ryan Brosas: He ain.
312 00:43:55.350 ⇒ 00:44:02.289 Rico Rejoso: waiting feedback if it’s good to go, or if it needs revision, right? So far, how are we on the follow-ups?
313 00:44:03.050 ⇒ 00:44:06.830 Ryan Brosas: Yeah, I followed up, …
314 00:44:08.470 ⇒ 00:44:17.519 Ryan Brosas: what do you call this? Who is this? Robert earlier, so I will be following again later. I can’t really, like…
315 00:44:18.440 ⇒ 00:44:22.950 Ryan Brosas: Yeah, I think later, around 4, so it’s not…
316 00:44:23.230 ⇒ 00:44:32.879 Ryan Brosas: That’s spammy, because I already followed up again, like, yesterday, and yeah, he might be annoyed by now.
317 00:44:33.490 ⇒ 00:44:35.359 Rico Rejoso: I gotcha, I gotcha, no worries.
318 00:44:35.850 ⇒ 00:44:43.990 Rico Rejoso: Well, yeah, no worries if he’s, like, annoyed or something, you’re just losing your job, okay? Again, it’s better to be proactive than to miss some of the stuff.
319 00:44:43.990 ⇒ 00:44:44.800 Ryan Brosas: Yeah.
320 00:44:44.800 ⇒ 00:44:46.950 Rico Rejoso: At least the blame is not on your end.
321 00:44:49.620 ⇒ 00:45:04.570 Rico Rejoso: So I guess that’s it for now. Focus on the in-progress stuff for today. Make sure you follow up by end of today. It’s the weekend tomorrow, so I know we, are, like, visiting some of the stuff during the weekend at night.
322 00:45:04.570 ⇒ 00:45:11.069 Rico Rejoso: So, if you need follow-up from Mutam, you can, you know, go directly, you can message him or, you know, mention him.
323 00:45:11.070 ⇒ 00:45:23.269 Rico Rejoso: As well for Robert, I’m not sure, but might as well do a follow-up by end of day, instead, because I’m not sure if he’s gonna reply during the weekend, or it will bother him, something like that, okay? But just post it by end of day.
324 00:45:23.550 ⇒ 00:45:24.240 Rico Rejoso: Alright?
325 00:45:25.020 ⇒ 00:45:26.640 Ryan Brosas: Yeah, that’s fine.
326 00:45:26.640 ⇒ 00:45:28.720 Rico Rejoso: Alrighty, you guys have any questions?
327 00:45:29.320 ⇒ 00:45:32.050 Ryan Brosas: Yeah, … No.
328 00:45:32.440 ⇒ 00:45:34.190 Raymund Verzosa: Yeah, I’m good, also.
329 00:45:34.190 ⇒ 00:45:35.950 Ryan Brosas: Wonderful.

331 00:45:46.200 ⇒ 00:45:59.129 Rico Rejoso: When we mention create tickets, I know you guys, like, have a lot of stuff that you need to file, and the reason you guys are not creating those tickets is because you just simply can’t spend a minute or two in creating those tickets, okay?
332 00:45:59.130 ⇒ 00:46:02.620 Rico Rejoso: Because you could either lose focus, Or, you know…
333 00:46:02.830 ⇒ 00:46:13.049 Rico Rejoso: get off track with what you’re doing. So, what I recommend is, if you guys have or need to create some tickets, and you simply can’t do that one, you can just mention me.
334 00:46:13.120 ⇒ 00:46:23.229 Rico Rejoso: Okay, like, for Adrico, need ticket creation, and I can definitely help you out on that, alright? Just to make sure that we won’t miss a thing moving forward.
335 00:46:23.720 ⇒ 00:46:24.470 Rico Rejoso: Alright?
336 00:46:25.270 ⇒ 00:46:26.050 Raymund Verzosa: Okay.
337 00:46:26.590 ⇒ 00:46:41.039 Rico Rejoso: Guys, don’t ever think that it will bother me something. It’s part of my duty as, you know, managing or helping you guys out as much as possible, okay? Even after my working hours, I can look at it to just make sure you have everything noted, alright?
338 00:46:42.070 ⇒ 00:46:43.080 Raymund Verzosa: Yes, sir.
