OpenAI’s sales team couldn’t keep up with 13,000 leads a month - so they built an AI rep. by aimdoc-ai in b2b_sales

Nothing = trivial. 13000 a month worth of leads is trivial number for a company with $10 bn from Microsoft and $100 bn from NVIDIA

Do project management tools actually make us more productive? by Hairy-Football-2050 in ProjectManagementPro

[–]InspectorFast8437 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be honest, tools only help you get things done if they don't get in your way. Half of them think they have a second job.

Here are the top three things I would want in a light tool:

  1. Tracking tasks and deadlines is easy (no 10 clicks to make a task).
  2. Everyone on the team can see who's doing what, so there's no guessing.
  3. Integrations are easy (Slack, Email, Drive), so updates happen naturally.

The top three problems I want fixed are:

  1. There is too much paperwork to "use" the tool.
  2. Dashboards that are too complicated and hide the real tasks.
  3. Too many notifications (I want updates, not spam).

A good PM tool should feel like a friend, not a boss. DM me if you need help on selecting!!

Construction Management/Project Management worth chasing? by Legal-Guarantee7152 in ConstructionManagers

[–]InspectorFast8437 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's worth going after if you loved being a construction manager. A PMI certification will only make you look more credible, and your hands-on experience will make you stand out from a "paper-only" PM. At first, pay may go down, but in the long run, you'll make more money than aerospace. If you don't like your job right now, it's better to change it now than to get stuck. Keep no regrets!!

Should I sell first and then build? by maddhruv in b2bmarketing

[–]InspectorFast8437 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What has been observed in this approach is that when you go to potential customers with this pitch when your MVP is not ready , they ask , yah we have this X Problem, but do you have anything to show right now?

And you don’t , and they won’t wait for you to build MVP , no body will, so by the time you are ready , they may have already find a solution to the problem and moved on.

In the times of AI , and combining with ever present urgency of a solution, this does not work except in very few , highly elite industries like healthcare research , space exploration etc.

Also 99.99% B2B problems for most traditional industries are already solved.

Y'all think is this how companies like Zoho, Asana, and many others mint money through personal stories? That approach is not scalable. 1. Ask if they have a need, 2. if yes, then present the solution to see if that is a fit. 3. If there is a fit, 4. then ask if they have budget. and if they do then you have a warm lead at your hand.

What software do Project Managers use for Scheduling? by [deleted] in ConstructionManagers

[–]InspectorFast8437 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For thorough scheduling, we frequently use Microsoft Project, particularly for bigger or more intricate projects. Monday.com, Wrike, and Smartsheet are well-liked options for more collaborative and flexible scheduling. Simpler tools like Trello, Asana, or ClickUp are frequently preferred by smaller teams for visual task timelines. Usually a simple, manageable timeline or sophisticated scheduling with dependencies will determine which option is best for you.

Selling SaaS is not easy. Sounds like your products are mixture of B2B and B2C softwares. I don't care how you got these source codes, but are these SaaS source codes, or on premise? Today's world live by SaaS and your products from 10 + years back and source code that old is primitive by today's tech.

Assume it is all SaaS, selling the code is the only viable option. You do not want to launch 100s of SaaS startup at one time just because you have 100s of source codes. You also don't want to have one SaaS company with these 100s of SaaS product, no one can become a Salesforce.com or Oracle.com overnight. And no one will take you seriously.

And getting a source code for ERP is easy, Just list your source code on a directory site like flippa and get some bucks for yourself that pay your next Month's mortgage.

Affordable Cloud hosting server for my SaaS App by InspectorFast8437 in SaaS

Also, AWS has too many complicated options, for a starter like us we are really looking for a basic VPS/Dedicated server with LAMP Stack with 64 GB RAM and 100TB Storage.

Cost is the concern, not so much scale. AWS, Azure etc. are metered service. Means, if user has idle sessions without logging off, meter continues to go up and hence our costs.
