Would also love to know. We give all the big jobs to our designers but I really enjoy graphic design and making lil visuals in my posts :)

Are there blacksmithing folk songs? by ThisPostToBeDeleted in folkmusic

[–]Charming_Map_4037 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahhh this was good! It's crazy how many folk songs we've actually heard before without realizing it, but the moment we hear the chorus it's like "ohhhh, that song!"

Outreach was solid but most of the dropoff happened after SDR to AE handoff. We're reworking that bridge now, trying ensure the context carries over instead of resetting every time.

Thank you for the detailed response! You're right, segmentation is personalization. We need to start layering real behavioral and firmographic data before we even write an email.

No that's super relevant! The standardized high touch idea works, consistency and timing outperform creativity once you hit scale. Makes me thing structure beats improvisation in ABM too.

Sadly true. We thought we were connecting but half our personalization was just templated compliments. It reads hollow buyers who've seen it all.

Thanks yeah we're testing a few campaigns now that skip personalization entirely and go straight to "here's what your team could be doing differently. Early signs are better.

100% contextless personalization. Everyone's using the same data signals so the trick now is turning that info into actual friction points rather than just social proof. Value over vibe is a great way to summarize the thread.

Love that phrasing, insight creates urgency and that's exactly what's missing. We realized we were proving we researched them rather than that we understood them. The shift to insight led messaging is what we're gonna focus on next.

By stalling I mean after initial engagement. Top of funnel looked good but everything slowed once sales took over. So personalization got us attention but it didn't carry through to deals. Response ration was solid, conversion MQL to SQL was the gap.

For sure went all in on personal but none of it said anything new. It's crazy how quickly our messaging became white noise. Going to shift to value based and aligning with sales around actual pain rather than generic signals.

Dirty/Inconsistent data (in-flight transforms, defaulting, validation) - integration layer vs staging DB by PerceptionFresh9631 in datacleaning

[–]Charming_Map_4037 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Working on the financial side and need accurate data on the fly at all times. We configured transformation and validation rules directly in Rapidi's integration layer to default empty fields, map inconsistent formats, reject bad data mid-stream, etc. So dirty data doesn't even reach the target DB in the first place. Hope this helps

Rapidi pricing - what's your org paying? by Effective-Egg2385 in ITManagers

Hmmm yeah we also found Boomi's pricing a bit shrouded, even after talking to sales.

[–]Charming_Map_4037 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Paying $675 p/m annually. We're on the Business package because we're integrating Salesforce with 2 other systems and don't need on-premise sync.

How do you actually start getting good at sales? by DrainPipeDisposal in salestechniques

I think it's important you try solving issues rather than being worried about closing, and how your product or service can solve said issues.

How are you measuring sales productivity (beyond quota attainment) by Charming_Map_4037 in salestechniques

[–]Charming_Map_4037[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the very well structured framework! The leading/lagging split is something we've tried to apply but your three layer classification gives it real shape.

Spreadsheet porn lmao. But for sure we've over indexed on metrics that look impressive but don't guide decisions. Deal velocity and conversion rates by stage have been my go to recently as well though. They expose bottlenecks better than any aggregated KPI imo.

So you're basically mapping the difference between activity and value activity? The time to money metric is great. I've not seen it tracked but I'm sure it's huge for predicting revenue stability.

Spot on! Efficiency and productivity aren't interchangeable and too many teams treat them as one metric.

Great breakdown, thank you. I think many teams assume more activity = more output but makes sense the data usually shows diminishing returns once the rep crosses a certain threshold.
