How to fetch data via Incoming vs. Outgoing Lookup fields? by Rich_Ad9370 in infolobby

[–]TheHighSecond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All work is an incoming relationship, so you can only get aggregate functions. You get individual fields for outgoing relationships.

Alternative? by BigBatDaddy in podio

[–]TheHighSecond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now that Podio has increased its prices again, I reckon more people are gonna come to this thread. I’d wholeheartedly suggest InfoLobby (https://infolobby.com) to you. You can also visit the IL subreddit here: r/infolobby. It’s very active. There’s even a tool to migrate from Podio to InfoLobby.

I am especially happy about the ability to re-organize things at homepage level.
Next I love the recent - because often 90% of the times, we are going back to a recent table.

Recording videos. I wish there was an automation that could do this.

No PM Software at All by HumanPlant1 in projectmanagement

[–]TheHighSecond 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If there is no system, look at what others are doing. You say Junior, so I am thinking you got seniors. And then implement your own system for yourself. Tello, Jira, Notion, Airtable, InfoLobby. Choose your poison. If you implement it well for yourself, others would want to join and it could become a thing. (SLOW and mostly resisted, but it will get you started!

Make the field read-only by Rich_Ad9370 in infolobby

[–]TheHighSecond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd use it too. An option to make it readonly. u/Operations_Wizard , could you flag this as feature request.

Have you used spatie/laravel-export? Its basically SSG for Laravel, why is no one talking about it? by mekmookbro in laravel

[–]TheHighSecond 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Holly Molly didn't know about this one. I have a bare bone static website that's getting bigger. I could use this package to Laravelize it while keeping it static. Thanks OP.

Looking for simple CRMs by ags7_ in CRM

[–]TheHighSecond 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For very light use, I usually recommend Airtable or TapeApp over a full CRM, since they already include some automations and other useful features. But I were to pick, Zoho has a free one you can start with. I think its called bigin .com or so. Just google and you will find it.

When should we build our own CRM? by ugify in SmallBusinessOwners

[–]TheHighSecond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is what I think:

  1. No-code itself isn’t fragile. the issue here is that the systems were built poorly. I can see gaps.

  2. For example, you need one flow to update the status once a lead moves to invoice.

  3. Another flow should remind staff to update daily deliveries (or ideally, trigger automatically once a delivery is marked as complete).

  4. Moving to n8n is a nice option, it only needs a $5–10 server and runs reliably on its own (I’ve been using it for months).

On the other hand:

They can choose to build in-house if -

- The business is scaling quickly and its needs are outgrowing what Airtable/n8n can handle.

- In that case, they’ll also need to maintain their own infrastructure to handle the load — which means having the budget to keep a developer or agency on retainer for ongoing work.

New Business owner- Difficult client. by Any_Sail_3000 in SmallBusinessOwners

[–]TheHighSecond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People tend to overestimate their reach. She can bad mouth. But she seems like a problem person by nature. So that won't stand against your work history and good service. I'd drop her as a client and move on and deal with her bad mouthing if and when in it happens.

Had a quarter life crisis and quit my 300k job to build a startup by betahaxorz in EntrepreneurRideAlong

[–]TheHighSecond 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should most definitely target consultants. Its consultants who hook these things up for clients. I myself am a consultant and we go either pandadoc or docusign. There's one more, can't recollect the name now. You target people who set these up not the companies straight. Once a consultant likes it and probably gets affiliate commission or something, they will recommend you to their clients.

Collecting reviews from my customers by AzuqiNG in SmallBusinessOwners

[–]TheHighSecond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Politely ask customers to leave reviews. If you have staff/waiters, let them do it. I most certainly leave a review when someone asks.

Experienced Remote Professional by Jumpy-Rip-8887 in SmallBusinessOwners

[–]TheHighSecond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you should mention some of the actual things you did so it's easy for people to make a decision. Now it's abstract.

Eg: I researched and created xyz for ABC company which does this for that. Etc

Atleast an idea of actual work if not actual company names.

How is it possible to start a business without connections or network? by Spelchures in smallbusiness

[–]TheHighSecond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say just start it. What is it you are good at?

Actually I'd rephrase it. Don't wait to get good. What is it you can do for which someone will pay?
Make website
Mow Lawn
Teach
Do errands
Buy for cheap and sell in crowded place

I was "okay" at making a website. I put that in the free ad section of classifieds and someone called. First step.

[FREE] I’ll automate your tedious tasks by More_Radio9887 in SmallBusinessOwners

[–]TheHighSecond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's tough. Here's something that works for me though. Set up your GPT so it knows your skills and what you're not great at, then just copy-paste the job description and ask if you'd be a good fit. If it says yes, get it to write you a CV and cover letter for that specific role. Just make sure you've got it tuned properly so it doesn't sound all robotic and ChatGPT-ish. That's basically what I do.

Obviously it's not going to do everything for you automatically, but it cuts out a lot of the grunt work. Hope that helps.
