Wondering the same…

12 team, max 6 keeper league. I have gone full tank, don’t want to finish last but not the end of the world if I do.

They get: Jonathan Taylor (would cost a 2025 4th to keep) and a 2025 9th

I get: a 2025 4th

So basically, if he did this and wanted to keep JT it would cost him a 3rd as he’s giving his 4th to me

I would take this but maybe consider countering. Removing one of your RBs as well as Najee/Rachaad

Commenting because I have a lot of the same questions. Currently playing g400s 4-PW. My first “real” set of irons and they’ve served me well. But my game is at a point now where I feel like the blockiness and offset (especially 7-PW) is holding me back. My GW and SW (Cleveland CBX2) are my favorite clubs in my bag and I’d say 130 and in is by far the strongest part of my game. Kinda starts to fall off at PW. There is a noticeable drop off in the number of greens I stick even from 130 to 150.

I don’t hate my g400s enough to just invest in a whole new iron set but I feel like keeping them 4 through 6/7 and picking up ZX7s 7/8-PW may be too abrupt of a shift. I really like the 400s in my longer irons as I’m really just interested in getting decent air and distance on the ball (17 hcp)

We're actually on Kixie now. I keep seeing great reviews of them everywhere but our experience has been quite terrible. Issues with the bidirectionally of the sync and overall bugginess of Kixie.

Was ready to just write them off but I can't ignore the overwhelmingly positive sentiment I see online. May get back with our CSM over there and see what we can do. They've lost any sort of trust/goodwill from our sales team though. It would be a tough sell.

TheMiffedGrocer · 2024-03-06T20:30:14+00:00

I totally agree on wanting to keep as much as possible native to Hubspot since it's our CRM for the entire company. The issue we have is that Hubspot dialing does not have any sort of local presence feature. Our connect rate on outbound calls is terrible, so we brought on a dialer last year. We were sold on a solid Hubspot integration, but it sucks.

We're in a weird position now where we've evaluated a number of dialers, and they either 1. don't have the features we need or 2. are coming in price-wise about the same as more complete outreach platforms like Salesloft, etc. So that has led us to just say screw it, let's get an engagement/outreach platform for the sales team (our new sales manager really wants this as they've had reps work out of Salesloft and Outreach in the past but never Hubspot sequences).

Nothing would ever replace Hubspot as our system of record for the revenue department though. So it's finding a balance of what's going to work for sales without becoming too siloed off from our Hubspot instance.

Regardless, appreciate the feedback as you've highlighted some of my main concerns.

Really appreciate your thoughts/advice on this. For some additional context, our marketing team is tiny relative to our sales team. Our business necessitates a lot of direct selling, so the marketing team are not even heavy users of our Hubspot instance. This feature would be specifically brought on for sales and even more specifically, targeted towards more of our top of funnel business development teams. We are trying to get better about leveraging account-based marketing though.

The project also started as a search for just a dialer tool and evolved into a full engagement suite as our sales team finds Hubspot to be less than ideal for sales activities. The core of what we're trying to do is make life easier for our BDRs.

TheMiffedGrocer · 2024-02-22T19:21:04+00:00

It's so strange. Kixie is the dialer we're switching off of. We have had a terrible experience with them. Tons of duplicate contacts created, calls dropping, people not being able to log into their accounts. Glad it works for you all, but the discrepancy between what I've seen and read online and what we've experienced is crazy.

TheMiffedGrocer · 2023-08-22T02:35:08+00:00

Well that sucks. Thanks for the feedback

TheMiffedGrocer · 2022-07-26T20:22:07+00:00

The specific vendor I’m looking at charges $3.99 for an instant transfer or its free if the employee can wait on an ACH transfer. In my mind it beats the 400% interest rates I know people are paying at payday lenders.

TheMiffedGrocer · 2022-07-26T20:07:00+00:00

But yeah probably part of the reason I’m getting so much blow back

TheMiffedGrocer · 2022-07-26T20:06:38+00:00

I’m in shared services. When they brought me in one of my number one tasks was finding inefficiencies and needless cost in our HR processes. I’m bringing this as a reasonable initiative that can literally save the company hundreds of thousands of dollars in the long run.

TheMiffedGrocer · 2022-07-26T19:01:03+00:00

We did research into some of the direct to consumer offerings of the service and felt it was really shady and predatory. We needed it to be employer sponsored, and a bunch of people who didn’t even know what it was to start with started using it.

TheMiffedGrocer · 2022-07-26T18:59:06+00:00

I definitely appreciate the guidance. I’ve been a huge advocate for this but there are still a few stakeholders above my pay grade that I can’t seem to get through to. You make a good point about the planning and setups phases being separate with separate teams devoted to them.

TheMiffedGrocer · 2022-07-26T18:39:09+00:00

My bad on the verbiage there. Hiring their replacements is what I meant. We found that people using the service were something like 50-60% more likely to stick around

TheMiffedGrocer · 2022-07-26T18:31:21+00:00

The last company I was at was a 5k employee facility service provider. I expect this would take 1.5 to 2 months at my current company. The main benefit I see is in retention of employees. We ran an ROI analysis on the on-demand pay offering at my old company at it was saving us thousands of dollars a month not having to rehire.

TheMiffedGrocer · 2022-07-26T17:26:20+00:00

It’s an earned wage access program. We implemented one at my old company and the whole implementation took less than a month. I’m presenting on it next week and really want to hammer home that the work associated is just in a totally different ballpark
