10 00:00:58.310 00:01:03.449 Uttam Kumaran: I opted for the jasmine tea instead of coffee. Today, it was like 50% effective.

11 00:01:04.164 00:01:09.509 Hannah Wang: Are you like dependent on coffee? One of those people.

16 00:01:26.340 00:01:30.450 Uttam Kumaran: oh, if I’m not motivated, I can just drink a coffee and like, get motivated.

17 00:01:30.770 00:01:31.870 Hannah Wang: So I’m.

18 00:01:32.060 00:01:36.899 Uttam Kumaran: There’s times where I need it, because I have to.

19 00:01:39.550 00:01:42.600 Uttam Kumaran: I mean, I just have to like, get something done.

20 00:01:42.600 00:01:43.104 Hannah Wang: Yeah.

21 00:01:48.700 00:01:49.283 Uttam Kumaran: but

22 00:01:50.900 00:01:54.840 Uttam Kumaran: I would rather drink coffee for pleasure, you know, not as a drink.

23 00:01:54.840 00:01:56.720 Hannah Wang: It tastes good. Yeah.

24 00:01:56.720 00:01:58.030 Uttam Kumaran: Yes, tastes very good.

25 00:01:58.030 00:01:58.750 Hannah Wang: Yeah.

26 00:02:39.100 00:02:43.989 Uttam Kumaran: I actually think this campaign thing is like good way of doing this.

27 00:02:45.250 00:02:51.929 Hannah Wang: Yeah, I like that. We’re gonna start tracking things. I think that’s good. And having.

28 00:02:51.930 00:02:52.420 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah. I’m just.

29 00:02:52.420 00:02:53.010 Hannah Wang: Helpful.

30 00:02:53.600 00:02:58.409 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, having said is really helpful. I’m hopeful that, like as she ramps up.

31 00:02:58.900 00:03:01.709 Uttam Kumaran: you may consider wanting to work for us full time. So.

32 00:03:02.530 00:03:04.880 Hannah Wang: Is she? Currently part time I’m assuming.

33 00:03:04.880 00:03:06.749 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, just part, time. Yeah.

34 00:03:06.750 00:03:07.300 Hannah Wang: Okay.

35 00:03:40.310 00:03:46.060 Uttam Kumaran: It’s also good cause. I can just put my idea somewhere versus in slack. And then we can actually like talk about them.

36 00:03:46.460 00:03:47.010 Hannah Wang: Yeah.

37 00:03:47.010 00:03:47.490 Uttam Kumaran: You know.

38 00:03:47.830 00:03:48.620 Hannah Wang: Yeah.

39 00:04:26.670 00:04:33.580 Uttam Kumaran: I guess maybe we should just. I should have like a a campaign with me. That’s just attending events campaign, you know.

40 00:04:34.940 00:04:35.890 Hannah Wang: Hmm.

41 00:04:36.440 00:04:36.900 Uttam Kumaran: Like.

42 00:04:36.900 00:04:37.800 Hannah Wang: Yeah.

43 00:04:39.280 00:04:45.163 Hannah Wang: Because last week I mentioned like wanting to track how many meetings booked and leads and stuff.

44 00:04:45.490 00:04:46.320 Uttam Kumaran: Exactly.

45 00:04:47.300 00:04:52.810 Hannah Wang: Yeah, I guess my question is, I just I mean, I I guess we’re doing everything manually now. But

46 00:04:53.290 00:04:55.980 Hannah Wang: I don’t know. I feel like that’s such a hassle to like.

47 00:04:56.140 00:04:57.390 Hannah Wang: Have you.

48 00:04:57.640 00:05:02.920 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, what what we’re gonna do eventually is

49 00:05:03.320 00:05:11.209 Uttam Kumaran: like tracking is never going to be 100. But ideally, we want to be able to say like, whenever a new lead comes in, we have to have a source.

50 00:05:11.460 00:05:16.720 Uttam Kumaran: right? So that’s gonna be the the impetus and then, second is

51 00:05:18.290 00:05:31.739 Uttam Kumaran: We just need motions. For example, if I go to an event, and I’m like, Hey, Ryan, go tag everybody at the event and send them an email. He can do that. But it’s actually up to me to go do that. And I need to put that as a campaign right.

52 00:05:32.740 00:05:36.720 Uttam Kumaran: Follow up like follow up campaign for events.

53 00:05:38.340 00:05:39.160 Uttam Kumaran: Right?

54 00:05:39.300 00:05:47.670 Uttam Kumaran: But so like when I go to an event, though, like right now, the pictures and stuff that’s just purely awareness. Right? So for those we want to just measure impressions, likes

55 00:05:47.910 00:05:49.030 Uttam Kumaran: stuff like that.

56 00:05:50.410 00:05:57.930 Hannah Wang: How would that be different than Q. 3. Linkedin content

57 00:05:58.620 00:06:01.149 Hannah Wang: cause I thought, like, I think right now, that’s.

58 00:06:01.320 00:06:07.550 Hannah Wang: I think, being grouped into that campaign. I’m not really sure, actually, but.

59 00:06:12.520 00:06:13.620 Uttam Kumaran: Wait, which one.

60 00:06:14.853 00:06:16.869 Hannah Wang: Call it a row 8

61 00:06:17.170 00:06:20.539 Hannah Wang: like for events and stuff like if we’re posting things.

62 00:06:21.326 00:06:25.490 Hannah Wang: I don’t know if that’s grouped under row 8 in the sheet.

63 00:06:25.490 00:06:26.530 Uttam Kumaran: Oh,

64 00:06:29.330 00:06:32.689 Hannah Wang: Or is this this be like thought, leadership? More goes.

65 00:06:32.690 00:06:36.670 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, that’s, I guess, like ideally.

66 00:06:37.820 00:06:43.099 Uttam Kumaran: what we want to do is start to break out Linkedin, content by like the type.

67 00:06:43.100 00:06:44.419 Hannah Wang: Category. Yeah.

68 00:06:44.420 00:06:49.460 Uttam Kumaran: Right? So like thought, leadership versus technical posting versus like.

69 00:06:49.460 00:06:50.470 Hannah Wang: And then.

70 00:06:50.470 00:06:53.060 Uttam Kumaran: Team. And then that way, we can sort of measure.

71 00:06:53.300 00:06:57.919 Uttam Kumaran: But maybe we can plan that for. Yeah, we can put that in the proposed.

72 00:08:51.400 00:08:52.840 Hannah Wang: Hi, Sid, we’re just

73 00:08:52.980 00:08:58.999 Hannah Wang: well. I think Tom’s just taking care of a couple of things right now and then. We’ll get started on talking about partnerships.

74 00:08:59.465 00:09:04.115 Elissa Mae Cid: Alright. I thought I was late. My laptop suddenly restarted.

75 00:09:04.580 00:09:06.530 Hannah Wang: Oh, no worries, no worries.

170 00:22:21.630 00:22:22.340 Uttam Kumaran: Oops.

171 00:22:34.740 00:22:48.539 Robert Tseng: So I know this call is just for the partnership contacts. But I did go through the accounts and or just accounts, and leads as well. The leads views kinda get me where I want. I think some statuses and stuff need to be updated, but

172 00:22:48.740 00:22:53.530 Robert Tseng: but more or less replicates the notion workflow, which is

173 00:22:54.810 00:23:01.120 Robert Tseng: I’ve had. Yeah. The numbers are kind of crazy, like, I don’t know this in terms of like.

174 00:23:02.480 00:23:04.929 Uttam Kumaran: Meetings, book attribution.

175 00:23:04.930 00:23:05.490 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.

176 00:23:06.870 00:23:19.270 Robert Tseng: Not like I, the the dashboards and stuff make any sense. So I I don’t know what I saw that Sid had created like a Google sheet to like request changes. I think that’s a little bit

177 00:23:20.550 00:23:29.419 Robert Tseng: too much like I. If I’m gonna take the time to fill that Google sheet out. I might as well just change it in Hubspot myself. So

178 00:23:31.740 00:23:53.270 Robert Tseng: yeah. Cause I think she’s basically requesting, like anytime we want to make any change to a contact contact to just put it in that Google sheet. And I guess she would handle it afterwards. But I don’t know. It just seems like it’s redundant. It’s like doing the same thing just in Google sheet form instead of Hubspot. So I don’t know if I buy into that workflow suggestion.

179 00:23:56.830 00:24:14.130 Robert Tseng: But yeah, I mean, I guess as as you guys are setting up these integrations hopefully, like any chatter about particular accounts from slack or emails, all gonna get synced to Hubspot, so that level of like tracking would be great because we don’t. We haven’t seen that before yet.

180 00:24:15.637 00:24:18.310 Robert Tseng: And then I looked at, like some of the

181 00:24:18.940 00:24:30.630 Robert Tseng: I don’t know how much of these features we actually can use. But you know, Hubspot has, like AI summarization. And and like some, basically, some context building stuff within the

182 00:24:30.820 00:24:35.099 Robert Tseng: record itself. That’s probably better than what we have in notion. Currently.

183 00:24:35.908 00:24:40.050 Robert Tseng: So yeah, I guess hopefully, that’s

184 00:24:40.550 00:24:42.670 Robert Tseng: that to me is like when

185 00:24:43.740 00:24:51.459 Robert Tseng: the next time I want to go and open like an account like I just I’m driving back from meeting with nit

186 00:24:52.820 00:24:59.489 Robert Tseng: I could have clicked into the knit contact and seen everything that we had talked about with them.

187 00:24:59.650 00:25:02.570 Robert Tseng: Yeah, I guess that’s that’s what we’re working towards. Right? So.

188 00:25:04.220 00:25:17.829 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I think one thing we’re one is, I agree. I think they just set that up as a in case people need to use it because everybody else is like training Hubspot. I’m I’m sort of going back to make things well.

189 00:25:18.480 00:25:18.870 Robert Tseng: Yeah.

190 00:25:18.870 00:25:35.840 Uttam Kumaran: So I think that’s fine. I think on the yeah, I mean Hannah. And Rico, like everybody we want to try to tie in everybody’s emails and stuff. But I think that’s on Sid’s plate to figure out like, Okay, how do we get everybody else’s emails? But ideally, we should be able to see like

191 00:25:36.190 00:25:39.409 Uttam Kumaran: everything, get linked into there. Additionally.

192 00:25:39.410 00:25:41.420 Robert Tseng: Thing is Utam’s email currently is basically.

193 00:25:41.420 00:25:46.550 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, yeah. Additionally, I think we’ll start to do stuff manually, like.

194 00:25:47.030 00:25:52.319 Uttam Kumaran: one thing I’m doing on the AI team is the platform clients will be linked.

195 00:25:52.430 00:25:53.660 Uttam Kumaran: Do.

196 00:25:55.480 00:26:03.070 Uttam Kumaran: On Hubspot like company and additionally, we’re gonna be adding leads into the

197 00:26:03.440 00:26:09.280 Uttam Kumaran: platform as well. So meetings and, like the zooms and stuff will automatically get double synced.

198 00:26:10.027 00:26:12.260 Uttam Kumaran: So that’s like that’ll be like our

199 00:26:13.060 00:26:25.519 Uttam Kumaran: like, our magic on our side. I don’t know. I don’t think that like it comes out of the box. But then, yeah, ideally like, we want to be able to have instead of Hannah, sort of going directly to or anybody going directly to

200 00:26:27.160 00:26:32.100 Uttam Kumaran: like taking a transcript was sort of like. If you want to learn about an account like start at the Hubspot account.

201 00:26:32.100 00:26:32.610 Robert Tseng: Yeah.

202 00:26:32.610 00:26:37.349 Uttam Kumaran: Thing you know, and everything associated with it will be there. So yeah.

203 00:26:41.110 00:26:46.150 Hannah Wang: Also, I don’t see the next activity date on on my.

204 00:26:46.150 00:26:46.660 Uttam Kumaran: Oh, really.

205 00:26:46.660 00:26:50.250 Hannah Wang: So I feel like you have to set it as default for everyone.

206 00:26:50.420 00:26:53.389 Hannah Wang: I think there was like a button boy. Do you.

207 00:26:53.390 00:26:55.269 Uttam Kumaran: Are you in active purchase, purchase.

208 00:26:57.700 00:27:02.320 Hannah Wang: I am in. Well, I’m like looking at. Oh, wait. Okay.

209 00:27:02.540 00:27:05.089 Hannah Wang: I’m confused. How do I get there?

210 00:27:05.990 00:27:08.309 Uttam Kumaran: Click, add a view.

211 00:27:08.710 00:27:09.970 Hannah Wang: Oh, active.

212 00:27:10.560 00:27:16.890 Hannah Wang: Oh, I see it. Okay, that? Oh, okay, never mind. I see it.

213 00:27:17.270 00:27:18.200 Uttam Kumaran: No problem.

214 00:27:18.550 00:27:25.349 Robert Tseng: Yeah. And I think it’s kind of we, we can start having things like, well, every everything needs to have a next activity date, or

215 00:27:25.760 00:27:28.400 Robert Tseng: just a dead leap, like we should just cut it so

216 00:27:28.876 00:27:33.029 Robert Tseng: yeah, that that hopefully will make it less noisy. And whatever. So.

217 00:27:42.590 00:27:49.069 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, I think otherwise on partnership stuff. So it looks like the Mcaw contract got signed today.

218 00:27:49.540 00:27:53.049 Uttam Kumaran: I think. Let me let me actually just like

219 00:27:53.590 00:27:59.270 Uttam Kumaran: I just got an email from them from Document. So but let me just double check, because then I’m gonna send a follow up.

220 00:28:00.980 00:28:05.100 Uttam Kumaran: to push that forward.

221 00:28:05.728 00:28:10.989 Robert Tseng: Yeah, I’m gonna meet the ox. My my friend at Ox insights in 30 min.

222 00:28:10.990 00:28:11.710 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.

223 00:28:11.710 00:28:26.630 Robert Tseng: Yeah. So I’m gonna just kinda obviously pick his brain on kind of outcome based pricing and some of those projects. Then I also want to get on their preferred like partner list as well. So I’m gonna try to push him to kind of get us towards a contract with them would be cool.

224 00:28:28.230 00:28:31.529 Robert Tseng: Yeah, I think that’s that. And then

225 00:28:32.980 00:28:35.806 Robert Tseng: we never heard anything back from blueprint right? And

226 00:28:36.120 00:28:36.890 Uttam Kumaran: No.

227 00:28:37.060 00:28:37.680 Robert Tseng: Okay.

228 00:28:40.170 00:28:46.329 Hannah Wang: Are you still in Colorado? Did you meet up with amplitude, or did you hear from them.

229 00:28:46.330 00:28:50.929 Robert Tseng: Nope, they never responded. But yeah, I do want to follow up on that. I have.

230 00:28:50.930 00:28:52.750 Uttam Kumaran: I’m gonna hit him on linkedin today.

231 00:28:53.000 00:28:54.919 Robert Tseng: Yeah, like, I talked to like

232 00:28:59.850 00:29:06.229 Robert Tseng: that. He’s going to rebook the interview. He will. He’ll do it with us. And then I basically pitched him on like.

233 00:29:06.550 00:29:17.229 Robert Tseng: Hey, cause amplitude reached out to him directly to do an event with them in Denver, and he doesn’t want to, but they were like, we’ll give you the budget. You just need to organize everything and ask us for reimbursement.

234 00:29:17.450 00:29:19.310 Robert Tseng: And I’m basically telling him.

235 00:29:19.660 00:29:30.189 Robert Tseng: okay, we’ll accept that offer. Just do it under Brainforge. We’ll do that for you, and you can still be like the co-host, or whatever with them, so hopefully that builds on the momentum they’ve already had with him.

236 00:29:31.880 00:29:32.470 Hannah Wang: Okay.

237 00:29:32.470 00:29:34.784 Uttam Kumaran: This is, what’s this is what.

238 00:29:35.170 00:29:36.449 Hannah Wang: Oh, okay.

239 00:29:36.900 00:29:37.470 Robert Tseng: Yeah.

240 00:29:38.120 00:29:42.030 Robert Tseng: So I do want to follow up with him on that today tomorrow.

241 00:29:43.280 00:29:51.140 Robert Tseng: Yeah. So yeah, we’re not the only you know team that amplitude has been talking about talking with, to do something in Denver. So.

242 00:29:51.260 00:29:51.900 Hannah Wang: Hmm.

243 00:29:52.870 00:29:57.839 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, it looks like the Dan signed it today. So I’m gonna just send a note

244 00:29:59.220 00:30:00.909 Uttam Kumaran: being like, let’s get on the phone.

245 00:30:01.360 00:30:02.030 Robert Tseng: Cool

246 00:30:02.310 00:30:15.660 Robert Tseng: the nick, I mean. I don’t want to derail too much, but I’m about to pull up into my next stop, but, like I just came back from that with Nick Great. They just raised their A, and they want to re-engage with us. So yeah, I think like.

247 00:30:16.370 00:30:24.970 Robert Tseng: I think something similar to like a stack blitz like initially would work. We’ll just do like paid discovery by hour.

248 00:30:25.535 00:30:27.489 Robert Tseng: So I think, utam, I’ll probably

249 00:30:28.010 00:30:39.769 Robert Tseng: they’re they’re gonna they’re doing like a team on site in New York and like a week or something like that. And I think we’re gonna try to get on their calendar for us to talk with them, and they’re

250 00:30:39.930 00:30:46.029 Robert Tseng: kind of they’re they hired. A new director of engineering. Would would be great to

251 00:30:46.140 00:30:56.050 Robert Tseng: kind of. I think the product analytics work will kick off. He’ll just like do kind of just paid hourly with me for that. But then also for us to kind of put the

252 00:30:56.300 00:30:58.249 Robert Tseng: data will kind of

253 00:30:58.660 00:31:06.599 Robert Tseng: maybe a similar pitch to what we did with, or at least packaging what we did with Stack Blitz, and to to offer that to them.

254 00:31:08.140 00:31:09.299 Uttam Kumaran: Okay. Okay, great.

255 00:31:09.570 00:31:16.599 Uttam Kumaran: yeah. I’m gonna start to loop in, Henry. And then, as I start to work with him closer, I’ll sort of get the world of product analytics a little bit better and.

256 00:31:16.820 00:31:19.019 Robert Tseng: Yeah, that’ll be good

257 00:31:19.020 00:31:24.079 Robert Tseng: good one to put on on this client, just because he has more experience in enterprise Sas.

258 00:31:24.220 00:31:26.600 Robert Tseng: than anybody else on our team. I think so.

259 00:31:26.890 00:31:27.520 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.

260 00:31:32.592 00:31:40.740 Uttam Kumaran: otherwise on partnerships. Yeah. So we. So I just touched base with Brian this morning. He’s sending several

261 00:31:41.390 00:31:50.859 Uttam Kumaran: messages to leads, like he mentioned about 12. So I I basically for our referral partners, you know, we’re gonna kind of see. Some are more like

262 00:31:50.960 00:31:55.860 Uttam Kumaran: run their own bit versus others like Jody runs his own like Llc. And stuff. So

263 00:31:55.990 00:32:05.600 Uttam Kumaran: he’s not gonna like need. Our assistance with Brian is just kind of like, well connected, but is just like an engineer. So I was like, look, you can leverage our sales infra if you want to like.

264 00:32:05.720 00:32:08.859 Uttam Kumaran: If he sends us all of the people that he contacted.

265 00:32:09.010 00:32:14.900 Uttam Kumaran: I’m happy we’re happy to save that in our Hubspot and help him follow up.

266 00:32:15.130 00:32:20.789 Uttam Kumaran: So I think my only point there is for the referral partners, Hannah, we just have to.

267 00:32:21.060 00:32:21.929 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, thank you.

268 00:32:23.220 00:32:24.310 Uttam Kumaran: Our channel.

269 00:32:25.395 00:32:31.909 Uttam Kumaran: Often and again, like we’re meeting with folks every 2 weeks or so but for the

270 00:32:32.070 00:32:43.630 Uttam Kumaran: for, like jody and stuff, the biggest thing is going to be momentum. So we’re gonna meet and talk about partnerships. But ideally, we can use. If at minimum, we use this time just to all keep ourselves accountable and send a bunch of follow ups.

271 00:32:45.980 00:32:52.350 Uttam Kumaran: So let’s see, I think the Jodi call. I message he wants to just send message back asking to Rebook.

272 00:32:52.810 00:32:53.370 Hannah Wang: Okay.

273 00:32:53.370 00:32:56.107 Uttam Kumaran: The Brian thing is is going now.

274 00:32:57.950 00:33:04.860 Uttam Kumaran: And then. Yeah, I’m gonna I’m gonna try to get us onto mother ducks radar as well, like we’re gonna pitch them into a couple of people.

275 00:33:05.030 00:33:06.200 Uttam Kumaran: And then

276 00:33:06.700 00:33:20.749 Uttam Kumaran: Robert, I just I sent a note earlier. But Sid’s gonna start to take over some of the gig radar reporting and management. So we’re gonna have a call about like a retro on gig radar to date end of this month, and then we can make any adjustments we want for next month.

277 00:33:25.470 00:33:27.369 Uttam Kumaran: But cool, I guess anything else

278 00:33:27.660 00:33:29.690 Uttam Kumaran: we want to talk about in this meeting.

279 00:33:34.880 00:33:36.689 Hannah Wang: Oh, let me see.

280 00:33:40.730 00:33:48.399 Hannah Wang: I guess. Is there a way in note or Hubspot to like just star the ones that we’re focusing on cause.

281 00:33:48.520 00:33:52.319 Hannah Wang: I know. Well, I know there’s tears for a reason, but, like.

282 00:33:52.320 00:33:55.149 Uttam Kumaran: I, yeah, I think we can bring in the priorities.

283 00:33:55.340 00:33:55.820 Hannah Wang: Okay.

284 00:33:56.101 00:33:57.789 Uttam Kumaran: So let me bring that in.

285 00:34:03.100 00:34:07.888 Uttam Kumaran: Well, I guess this is the deal priority. I’ll I can. I’ll add another.

286 00:34:09.820 00:34:14.629 Uttam Kumaran: I’ll add another thing. Property here that’s related to like

287 00:34:17.960 00:34:21.580 Uttam Kumaran: whatever act or yeah, some sort of priority or something.

288 00:34:21.810 00:34:22.420 Hannah Wang: Okay.

289 00:34:22.742 00:34:26.929 Elissa Mae Cid: There is a specific field for that. I can add it with them.

290 00:34:27.690 00:34:32.029 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, yeah, cause it’s not. Yeah. I guess that’s fine. Yeah, we can add that related to priority.

291 00:34:33.320 00:34:34.090 Elissa Mae Cid: Okay.

292 00:34:37.560 00:34:40.900 Hannah Wang: And then for contextual, we’re.

293 00:34:40.900 00:34:42.610 Uttam Kumaran: We’re waiting on. Someone was out right or something.

294 00:34:42.610 00:34:51.750 Hannah Wang: Yeah. So I’ll follow up with them, for I guess marketing collateral. But then I know that they like sent you some api update or something. Are we just like

295 00:34:52.179 00:34:59.649 Hannah Wang: trying to is the AI team? I feel I heard from Miguel. You’re trying to integrate contextual into pool parts. Right? So is that kind of the work

296 00:34:59.820 00:35:00.750 Hannah Wang: there.

297 00:35:03.190 00:35:11.599 Uttam Kumaran: yeah. But that’s already. That’s kind of already done, I think. On the yeah. On the client side we’ll have work, but I think they wanted to do like

298 00:35:12.260 00:35:13.980 Uttam Kumaran: something more publicly.

299 00:35:14.210 00:35:20.710 Hannah Wang: Yeah, there’s like a an event, they said. We can Co brand a case study on.

300 00:35:21.036 00:35:22.340 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

301 00:35:22.340 00:35:27.559 Hannah Wang: Yeah. So I’ll follow up this week, because I think 2 of their folks were out last week.

302 00:35:28.348 00:35:35.530 Hannah Wang: So I’ll just follow up on the Channel, and then do like a partnership announcement as well on Linkedin.

303 00:35:36.823 00:35:38.669 Hannah Wang: And then is there

304 00:35:40.072 00:35:49.990 Hannah Wang: for talisma? Sorry, I know you probably give an update is that the contract is still on legal? Or are we waiting to hear back from legal about that.

305 00:35:49.990 00:35:52.530 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I know we’re waiting to hear back from their side now. Yeah.

306 00:35:52.530 00:35:56.020 Hannah Wang: Oh, okay, cool. And then.

307 00:35:57.281 00:36:06.770 Hannah Wang: yeah, for blue people. I’m waiting for them to confirm what date? Either August or September. I told them. August is preferred. So just waiting

308 00:36:07.360 00:36:14.960 Hannah Wang: for them on that. And then I think that’s everything.

309 00:36:15.540 00:36:16.170 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.

310 00:36:16.460 00:36:17.240 Hannah Wang: Yeah.

311 00:36:20.390 00:36:25.339 Uttam Kumaran: Okay. Great. Yeah. So I’m gonna send a couple of follow ups and then I’ll I’ll as I send them. I’ll send notes in slack.

312 00:36:26.240 00:36:36.789 Hannah Wang: And then I if you just like update Hubspot, that’d be helpful, too. Just so, I kind of know. Have an overview of everything, and then I’ll also update Hubspot as well.

313 00:36:37.200 00:36:53.110 Hannah Wang: I said. I don’t know if you caught what Utam said, but I think since the 3 of us and Robert. I think we kind of know how to use Hubspot. I think maybe we’ll update Hubspot directly, but for anyone else who doesn’t know how to use Hubspot. I think they can utilize the Google sheet. Does that sound? Okay?

314 00:36:53.110 00:36:53.490 Elissa Mae Cid: Yeah.

315 00:36:53.490 00:36:54.149 Hannah Wang: Thank you.

316 00:36:54.150 00:37:09.179 Elissa Mae Cid: Yeah, yeah, it’s okay. I agree, this process. But for those that don’t know how, yet we can use the Google sheet for now, but for the others that know, you can update directly. And I’ve added the column proper priority.

317 00:37:09.390 00:37:15.029 Elissa Mae Cid: So you can just update the priority levels of the partnerships.

318 00:37:16.010 00:37:17.650 Hannah Wang: Okay. Cool. Awesome.

319 00:37:19.740 00:37:20.330 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.

320 00:37:20.530 00:37:21.350 Hannah Wang: Alrighty!

321 00:37:22.110 00:37:22.550 Uttam Kumaran: Thank you.

322 00:37:23.510 00:37:25.459 Elissa Mae Cid: Bye, everyone bye, good luck.

323 00:37:25.460 00:37:27.259 Hannah Wang: Bye, Robert, bye, good luck.
