6 00:00:31.390 ⇒ 00:00:36.890 Justin Breshears: liked the dashboard, and what we’ve done there. She said we were crushing it.
7 00:00:37.060 ⇒ 00:00:47.510 Justin Breshears: So that… It’s definitely a good thing, and then she talked through more about the… the vendor…
8 00:00:48.180 ⇒ 00:01:00.360 Justin Breshears: comparison. The list of companies that she wants us to compare is a lot shorter than I thought, which she did give to us, so,
9 00:01:01.500 ⇒ 00:01:06.280 Justin Breshears: Let me… let me pull that up in the channel. She sent it over to us in our Slack channel.
10 00:01:11.430 ⇒ 00:01:12.610 Justin Breshears: put up here.
11 00:01:15.480 ⇒ 00:01:17.240 Justin Breshears: There we go. Okay.

14 00:01:24.820 ⇒ 00:01:38.680 Justin Breshears: Let’s start with Owler, because that one is the one that they’re currently using, but they’re on kind of, like, a trial thing right now, and on the 15th, it would be when, like, the full annual contract would kick in.
15 00:01:38.920 ⇒ 00:01:45.079 Justin Breshears: So this testing needs to be done, and we need to present our recommendation to them before that.
16 00:01:45.670 ⇒ 00:01:48.960 Justin Breshears: So, I think what we discussed was…
17 00:01:49.830 ⇒ 00:01:55.300 Justin Breshears: Yeah, if we could get it to them, like, by Friday, That would be… best.
18 00:01:55.300 ⇒ 00:01:59.310 Mustafa Raja: By Friday, we need to give out only for Avala, or for everything?
19 00:02:00.020 ⇒ 00:02:02.769 Justin Breshears: I think for everything, okay.
20 00:02:03.580 ⇒ 00:02:04.270 Justin Breshears: But let’s…
21 00:02:04.270 ⇒ 00:02:04.700 Mustafa Raja: brother, and…

26 00:02:21.010 ⇒ 00:02:26.749 Justin Breshears: She made some, changes to your scoring model, I’m trying to look for that now.
27 00:02:27.570 ⇒ 00:02:30.640 Mustafa Raja: Oh, it should be in the ticket Yeah.
28 00:02:31.900 ⇒ 00:02:35.179 Justin Breshears: So, didn’t need this.

48 00:03:32.380 ⇒ 00:03:34.540 Justin Breshears: No, you could just pull it up easily, but…
49 00:03:35.180 ⇒ 00:03:37.700 Justin Breshears: That’d be helpful to put a link out. Okay.
50 00:03:38.010 ⇒ 00:03:45.839 Justin Breshears: So, yeah, just kind of review what… what she said, because she just kind of reviewed, like, this stuff, and was like, this isn’t important, this is whatever, you know?
51 00:03:46.010 ⇒ 00:03:49.949 Mustafa Raja: And then we need to go ahead and get started on that, so…
52 00:03:51.160 ⇒ 00:03:54.739 Justin Breshears: See, I didn’t think there was anything else that we had going on, right?
53 00:03:55.300 ⇒ 00:03:56.859 Justin Breshears: Yeah, this is done.
54 00:03:58.670 ⇒ 00:04:00.600 Justin Breshears: You want me to go ahead and mark this down?
55 00:04:00.600 ⇒ 00:04:05.249 Mustafa Raja: Oh, yeah, this, yeah, yeah, the document, it’s, it’s ready, right?
56 00:04:06.300 ⇒ 00:04:08.749 Justin Breshears: Yeah, and then I think this is done as well, yes?
57 00:04:09.030 ⇒ 00:04:13.180 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, did we look into… did we look through this dashboard in the meeting?
58 00:04:13.960 ⇒ 00:04:14.880 Justin Breshears: Yes.
59 00:04:16.660 ⇒ 00:04:19.309 Justin Breshears: Yeah, I think everything was good. I don’t think there was any other…
60 00:04:19.630 ⇒ 00:04:27.119 Justin Breshears: requests there. So I think it’s really just… we need to focus on this now. And so, yeah, you can create a ticket for, like.
61 00:04:27.240 ⇒ 00:04:30.410 Justin Breshears: Like, let’s start with Owler, like, test Owler based on the…
62 00:04:30.560 ⇒ 00:04:35.590 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, yeah, I’ll just edit this one, and rather than test data vendors, I’ll say Test Towler.
63 00:04:36.260 ⇒ 00:04:53.149 Justin Breshears: Yeah, perfect. And then, yeah, we’ll just go from there. And we’ll kind of monitor, like, how long it takes you to do those tests and whatnot. But the thing that was interesting is, like, the breakdown of, sample data that, like, she wanted to use for the tests.
64 00:04:53.270 ⇒ 00:04:57.030 Justin Breshears: Did you want to use, like, 400 companies
65 00:04:57.320 ⇒ 00:04:59.619 Justin Breshears: And have, like, a breakdown of…
66 00:05:00.120 ⇒ 00:05:07.659 Justin Breshears: I think it was, like, 200 being Enterprise, and then the rest of the 200 being, like, a mix of different things. So, all of that is in that.
67 00:05:07.920 ⇒ 00:05:11.109 Justin Breshears: That meeting transcript from yesterday.
68 00:05:11.590 ⇒ 00:05:21.149 Justin Breshears: So, I would definitely take from that transcript what she said about, like, the mix of customers that we want to test with, and, you know, then…
69 00:05:21.520 ⇒ 00:05:24.060 Justin Breshears: start the testing with that. Does that make sense?
70 00:05:25.810 ⇒ 00:05:27.460 Mustafa Raja: Hmm, yes.
71 00:05:29.340 ⇒ 00:05:29.970 Mustafa Raja: Okay, so…
72 00:05:29.970 ⇒ 00:05:35.530 Justin Breshears: But you’re gonna Aller, but you need to use, like, a mix of, you know, customer data.
73 00:05:35.670 ⇒ 00:05:38.729 Mustafa Raja: I need to choose the companies myself tonight, right?
74 00:05:39.370 ⇒ 00:05:45.390 Justin Breshears: Right. And yeah, she talks a lot about, like, what she wants to see, like, that mix of different types of.
75 00:05:45.390 ⇒ 00:05:47.930 Mustafa Raja: Oh, okay, so I need to go through the whole meeting then, right?
76 00:05:48.550 ⇒ 00:05:53.830 Justin Breshears: Yeah, I would go through the meeting and… yeah, sorry, it’s… there’s been a lot that’s happened, so I’m trying to remember.
77 00:05:53.830 ⇒ 00:05:54.649 Mustafa Raja: Oh, no, no, it’s okay.
78 00:05:54.650 ⇒ 00:05:59.129 Justin Breshears: discussed. But yeah, if you go through that meeting, like, she’ll tell you kind of the breakdown of…
79 00:05:59.380 ⇒ 00:06:03.750 Justin Breshears: You know, the customer segmentation that she wants to use in the tests.
80 00:06:03.960 ⇒ 00:06:08.430 Mustafa Raja: Okay, yeah, I guess this would be good. I’ll try and,
81 00:06:08.750 ⇒ 00:06:16.369 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, for today, I guess I’ll get the context, and then from Monday, we can start the test. What do you feel about that?
82 00:06:16.370 ⇒ 00:06:17.150 Justin Breshears: Perfect.
83 00:06:17.150 ⇒ 00:06:20.880 Mustafa Raja: Or would you want me to do the test, start the test.
84 00:06:20.880 ⇒ 00:06:23.510 Justin Breshears: I mean, it just depends on how long, like.
85 00:06:23.630 ⇒ 00:06:32.239 Justin Breshears: you know, getting the, like, customer, you know, sample together takes. If that’s, like, super fast, then yeah, go ahead and start the test today, but…
86 00:06:32.600 ⇒ 00:06:37.179 Justin Breshears: If it takes you a long time again and get that done, it’s fine, I think, to start Monday. We just have to…
87 00:06:37.340 ⇒ 00:06:39.600 Justin Breshears: We have to get them the recommendation, and like.
88 00:06:39.600 ⇒ 00:06:40.010 Mustafa Raja: Yeah.
89 00:06:40.010 ⇒ 00:06:43.139 Justin Breshears: Present that to them prior to when their contract
90 00:06:43.250 ⇒ 00:06:48.599 Justin Breshears: kicks in on the 15th, so… I think if we can shoot towards the end of next week, I think that would be good.
91 00:06:48.600 ⇒ 00:06:56.229 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, that’ll be great. Okay, so, I’m going to just ingest the context into myself, and then if I have any questions, I’ll let you know in the channel.
92 00:06:56.780 ⇒ 00:06:58.660 Justin Breshears: Perfect. Sounds like a plan.
93 00:06:58.860 ⇒ 00:06:59.960 Mustafa Raja: Okay, thank you.
94 00:07:00.530 ⇒ 00:07:03.260 Justin Breshears: Thank you, sir. Let me know if you need anything, okay?
95 00:07:03.260 ⇒ 00:07:07.259 Mustafa Raja: I’ll hit you up if I need anything. Thank you.
96 00:07:07.790 ⇒ 00:07:09.290 Justin Breshears: Okay, appreciate you, bye.
97 00:07:09.540 ⇒ 00:07:09.950 Mustafa Raja: Bye.
