17 00:02:16.830 00:02:25.470 Nicolas Sucari: Some tennis. Yeah, it was nice. I played well yesterday. It was like a while since I finished playing golf and said

18 00:02:25.510 00:02:27.970 Nicolas Sucari: this was a good round, so.

19 00:02:27.970 00:02:28.560 Uttam: Nice.

20 00:02:28.560 00:02:30.350 Nicolas Sucari: It was. It was good. Yeah.

23 00:02:39.080 00:02:41.920 Uttam: Yeah. So I’m getting like confirmation on

24 00:02:42.070 00:02:46.259 Uttam: garage. Starting ideally tomorrow.

25 00:02:48.170 00:02:50.829 Uttam: and I don’t think like, I think

26 00:02:50.900 00:02:54.189 Uttam: the main thing is, I want to make sure that he can join

27 00:02:54.550 00:02:59.350 Uttam: like that. You can work with him during the week this week and kind of like

28 00:02:59.590 00:03:02.130 Uttam: basically try to onboard him onto

29 00:03:02.690 00:03:06.979 Uttam: cool parts. But also, I think we could take some time this week to work on some

30 00:03:07.720 00:03:09.620 Uttam: documentation. Basically.

31 00:03:09.950 00:03:10.910 Nicolas Sucari: Okay.

32 00:03:11.720 00:03:16.120 Uttam: Like documentation on onboarding for him. And also

33 00:03:16.230 00:03:19.559 Uttam: I wanna try to improve the onboarding like, just for

34 00:03:20.050 00:03:23.399 Uttam: just like the normal brain forge on boarding.

35 00:03:25.250 00:03:28.490 Uttam: Yeah. So I’m gonna work on some of those documents

36 00:03:29.016 00:03:34.659 Uttam: today. Because I’m doing a lot of like documentation stuff today, basically with the team

37 00:03:36.930 00:03:38.810 Uttam: but otherwise I think it’s

38 00:03:39.670 00:03:42.939 Uttam: from the end side it should be.

39 00:03:43.290 00:03:44.840 Uttam: I have a normal week.

40 00:03:46.970 00:03:50.979 Uttam: so I think the biggest things are I’m have. I’m kind of like

41 00:03:51.200 00:03:54.120 Uttam: gonna be starting a larger sprint with

42 00:03:55.810 00:04:01.180 Uttam: Patrick Ryan and the interns and Miguel, just like helping me

43 00:04:01.650 00:04:04.480 Uttam: basically do the sales automation stuff.

44 00:04:04.650 00:04:11.579 Uttam: Yeah, so that that I’m gonna kick off today. And then I’m going to probably just meet with everybody every day.

45 00:04:12.172 00:04:14.529 Uttam: Until we like make that happen?

46 00:04:16.360 00:04:18.249 Uttam: it’s not. I’m not gonna

47 00:04:18.810 00:04:27.920 Uttam: like, I’m basically running it like we’re the client. So you know, I’ll be tracking stuff in notion and things like that. But I would say again, the goal is to get

48 00:04:28.610 00:04:33.022 Uttam: the goal is to get Ryan and Patrick placed on a client.

49 00:04:33.700 00:04:34.360 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.

50 00:04:34.590 00:04:39.060 Uttam: So that’s what we’re gonna be, you know, really, really gunning for

51 00:04:40.430 00:04:45.179 Uttam: And so we have a couple of new campaigns to start a couple of automations to write

52 00:04:47.330 00:04:51.120 Uttam: And so that’s probably gonna be the status quo, maybe for

53 00:04:51.570 00:04:53.689 Uttam: like ideally, like

54 00:04:53.880 00:04:58.380 Uttam: 2 to 4 weeks. But hopefully, maybe just 2 weeks until we get some signal.

55 00:05:00.430 00:05:03.279 Uttam: So let’s see, I’m gonna kind of leave

56 00:05:03.540 00:05:09.589 Uttam: Siraj and and Nick to you. But I think you’re managing really. Well, I think the best thing that we can do is

57 00:05:11.140 00:05:19.169 Uttam: Just continue to. I ste. The Stella side of things, I think, is is going well. I think Nick, kind of made up for a bunch of stuff.

58 00:05:19.430 00:05:20.015 Uttam: Yeah,

59 00:05:21.200 00:05:23.831 Uttam: but I do know that there, there is

60 00:05:24.920 00:05:28.359 Uttam: like some organization issues and things like that. So

61 00:05:28.510 00:05:34.108 Uttam: as long as it’s all like documented, then I’ll be in the meeting tomorrow. I can talk to.

62 00:05:34.710 00:05:36.490 Uttam: I could talk to Nick about it.

63 00:05:37.370 00:05:49.079 Nicolas Sucari: Okay, yeah, yeah, no. That’s okay. I mean, Nick was a little bit off last week, and yeah, communication with him was a little bit difficult. But if he’s back this week, I think it’s okay. I mean.

64 00:05:49.080 00:05:51.060 Uttam: Yeah, he’s back. He just had some like.

65 00:05:51.940 00:05:52.310 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.

66 00:05:52.310 00:05:53.859 Uttam: Travel issues so.

67 00:05:54.710 00:05:55.770 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, okay.

68 00:05:55.780 00:06:09.339 Nicolas Sucari: yeah, don’t worry. I I need to talk to Robert tomorrow to see how everything is like, if we have like any other request, because Nick was working on all of those tickets we talked about last week.

69 00:06:09.774 00:06:15.035 Nicolas Sucari: So we need to gather like new requests, I think. And then

70 00:06:15.720 00:06:22.850 Nicolas Sucari: about pool parts I. I can’t ask Ryan anything on modeling. Probably

71 00:06:22.910 00:06:27.760 Nicolas Sucari: if we have to do some stuff, just a rush will be taking care of everything. What do you think.

72 00:06:27.760 00:06:32.510 Uttam: No, I would I would ask Ryan for whatever we need as well.

73 00:06:33.294 00:06:33.880 Uttam: Great.

74 00:06:34.640 00:06:37.880 Nicolas Sucari: I’d like this week to work on what Kim

75 00:06:38.659 00:06:39.069 Nicolas Sucari: well.

76 00:06:39.070 00:06:39.430 Uttam: Yeah.

77 00:06:39.430 00:06:47.979 Nicolas Sucari: Team. Last last meeting. We need to add some measures to some reports. It’s not a big deal, but we need to check some stuff and.

78 00:06:47.980 00:06:53.649 Uttam: Okay, as long as it’s all. That’s all. That’s all ticketed. And let’s talk to Ryan’s meeting about it.

79 00:06:54.049 00:06:57.439 Uttam: Yeah. And then, yeah, okay, yeah, that’s that’s totally fine.

80 00:06:58.110 00:07:02.869 Nicolas Sucari: Perfect. Yeah, I added 2 tasks there. one i i mean, I changed the

81 00:07:02.920 00:07:17.049 Nicolas Sucari: customer. Acquisition cost us that we have there and change for different things. That’s what we need to do. Like not focus on that measure, but change and add other measures. And then I added one to check everything about profit, too.

82 00:07:17.220 00:07:26.899 Nicolas Sucari: because Kim was asking about that, and to add some dimensions to the Daily Kpis Report because it has nothing for for now.

83 00:07:28.490 00:07:30.560 Nicolas Sucari: Oh, it’s not a big deal. It’s just.

85 00:07:31.550 00:07:36.810 Nicolas Sucari: Add some stuff and do some calculation. It won’t require a lot of time, I think.

86 00:07:37.390 00:07:38.020 Uttam: Okay.

87 00:07:39.510 00:07:40.130 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.

88 00:07:41.112 00:07:46.320 Nicolas Sucari: And then, probably with Siraj. If we can start the onboarding tomorrow, probably

89 00:07:46.380 00:07:49.829 Nicolas Sucari: by the end of the week, he can start working on some stuff for

90 00:07:50.252 00:07:55.610 Nicolas Sucari: the shipping process that we discussed with Jack. Try to create some new dashboard

91 00:07:55.650 00:08:02.660 Nicolas Sucari: with, yeah, more complex information about different warehouses, and that kind of stuff probably.

127 00:10:30.800 00:10:33.849 Uttam: there for focusing on sirage onboarding.

128 00:10:33.870 00:10:41.379 Uttam: I’m just looking at the week. Yeah, I I just was gonna see whether we can consolidate those meetings on Thursday that way. I can join if they’re all like

129 00:10:41.680 00:10:43.499 Uttam: basically back to back. And then.

130 00:10:43.500 00:10:44.230 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.

131 00:10:46.490 00:10:49.729 Nicolas Sucari: okay, yeah. I’m gonna ask him if he if she can

132 00:10:50.520 00:10:56.650 Nicolas Sucari: have the meeting earlier, because that time with Jack is perfect because he’s not yeah. Working on

133 00:10:57.060 00:11:00.090 Nicolas Sucari: anything at the warehouse at the time

134 00:11:00.100 00:11:06.709 Nicolas Sucari: later was a little bit problematic for him. But yeah, I’m gonna ask him if he, if we can do it after the checkbox.

135 00:11:07.340 00:11:16.150 Uttam: Okay. Okay, yeah. As long as if as long as they can. If there could be back to back, that’d be ideal and then ideally in the morning or afternoon, because

136 00:11:16.200 00:11:20.470 Uttam: just taking the time in the middle of the day to try to get some work done.

137 00:11:21.080 00:11:23.170 Nicolas Sucari: Okay, yeah.

138 00:11:23.870 00:11:24.850 Nicolas Sucari: perfect.

139 00:11:25.180 00:11:27.510 Uttam: And then I I don’t.

140 00:11:27.990 00:11:30.648 Uttam: I think confirm with

141 00:11:31.810 00:11:39.229 Uttam: with Robert. I think he may be out of town this week. He I think he’s traveling to La to go meet his team. He mentioned that to me.

142 00:11:40.630 00:11:41.340 Nicolas Sucari: Bye.

143 00:11:41.700 00:11:42.550 Uttam: But

144 00:11:43.140 00:11:44.670 Uttam: I would just double check.

145 00:11:47.850 00:11:50.470 Nicolas Sucari: Okay for over the horizon. Okay, great

146 00:11:51.420 00:12:01.320 Nicolas Sucari: and I would ask you, do you have like any new? Or have you talked to Ben or Dan, for Paul parts update requires request something

147 00:12:01.910 00:12:03.430 Nicolas Sucari: or nothing. Yet.

148 00:12:04.250 00:12:06.500 Uttam: I haven’t talked to them

149 00:12:06.960 00:12:10.209 Uttam: yet. I want to.

150 00:12:10.700 00:12:17.519 Uttam: I want to get this stuff. I want to get the Eunice, the warehouse stuff done, and then send an email to both of them.

151 00:12:17.740 00:12:19.230 Uttam: And then.

152 00:12:19.820 00:12:39.330 Uttam: once that’s done, and once Siraj feels good, I’ll I’ll start working with Siraj again, like, I don’t think there’s any need any more requirements for them. But the feedback we got, which is like from the real dashboards like, I just want him to basically like, create documentation, create any sort of videos for that. And like kind of own.

153 00:12:39.600 00:12:41.559 Uttam: the delivery of that. So.

154 00:12:41.560 00:12:42.090 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.

155 00:12:44.250 00:12:50.029 Uttam: yeah, let’s see, like when I when I talk to him I’ll I’ll get a sense of like what’s possible and timeline stuff. So.

156 00:12:50.670 00:12:52.020 Nicolas Sucari: Perfect. Yeah. Okay.

157 00:12:54.370 00:12:55.360 Nicolas Sucari: Great.

158 00:12:57.920 00:12:59.010 Uttam: Oh.

159 00:13:06.870 00:13:08.980 Uttam: cool anything else

160 00:13:10.470 00:13:12.160 Uttam: this week.

161 00:13:13.625 00:13:18.489 Nicolas Sucari: I don’t think so. I’m following up with the emails that I

162 00:13:19.696 00:13:28.830 Nicolas Sucari: that I have with Jane from from Post Pilot. I just asked her there was any news. I’m gonna talk to Justin from Unix to see how we

163 00:13:28.930 00:13:31.330 Nicolas Sucari: skills pairing is looking.

164 00:13:31.620 00:13:32.380 Uttam: Okay. Yeah.

165 00:13:32.380 00:13:37.610 Nicolas Sucari: And anything else that I have there. I will just be asking how we are doing on anything.

166 00:13:38.240 00:13:44.450 Uttam: I think. So for our schedule. Let’s let me just look at the schedule. So I also want to spend

167 00:13:44.820 00:13:48.150 Uttam: maybe an hour sometime this week, just like

168 00:13:48.770 00:13:52.730 Uttam: on improving notion. And I think me and you could probably do this.

169 00:13:52.940 00:13:53.670 Uttam: Yeah.

170 00:13:54.305 00:14:07.309 Uttam: but I I had read that article, and I thought it was really good, but I I realized that you know he he had something there which is like you need someone dedicated to kind of like keep making improvements, and so I think it would be good for us to

171 00:14:07.400 00:14:11.210 Uttam: to do that. I don’t know if I don’t think Friday.

172 00:14:11.930 00:14:15.604 Uttam: I think. Let’s leave Friday morning. Open.

173 00:14:18.210 00:14:19.429 Uttam: let’s see.

174 00:14:32.810 00:14:34.850 Uttam: I wonder if we should do.

175 00:14:36.900 00:14:40.960 Uttam: maybe sometime on Friday or yeah, maybe like sometime

180 00:14:51.230 00:14:59.569 Uttam: I think it’s good to do. I did a lot of that last week, but I think it’ll just be good, because, as we add stuff. I I just wanna it’s almost like a basically a code base.

181 00:14:59.730 00:15:05.960 Uttam: you know. So I just want to continue to improve. I added a bunch of stuff on sales side. But I think what we can do is

182 00:15:06.240 00:15:10.514 Uttam: we can take a look at how they also had it structured. And then

183 00:15:11.250 00:15:21.409 Uttam: I do like how they have like a bunch of stuff for onboarding and kind of move everything from Google Docs in there. So we’ll just spend an hour and kind of like groom everything in notion, and then go from there.

184 00:15:22.150 00:15:23.980 Nicolas Sucari: Okay, perfect.

185 00:15:26.940 00:15:27.670 Uttam: Okay.
