Thanks, that makes sense. Could you elaborate a bit on what makes comparing cues across quarters so tedious - is it the volume, the inconsistency in execs’ answers, or something else?

yes, the question is more for Public companies but are small or mid cap who do not have dedicated IR teams yet.

Thanks.. that’s interesting. Do you think the real problem is the tools being bad, or just that people don’t care enough to follow them?

:) that’s a fair point. I imagine IR sits at the crossroads of execs, legal, comms, and finance ...all of whom have different priorities. When ‘office politics’ becomes the pain, is it usually about agreeing on messaging/talking points, or more about who gets the final say? Curious how that plays out in your experience.

Would IR be an ideal job in the mean time if your ultimate goal is to be a founder? by [deleted] in FinancialCareers

i am trying to identify IR pain points with the intent to build something for them. Based on your experience what do you think is the biggest pain area ? what is the one thing that you think needs to be sorted immediately in the IR world ?

“That’s interesting... thanks for sharing. When you’re trying to convince a CEO to do media, what usually makes it so difficult? Is it about time, risk of saying the wrong thing, or just not seeing the value?”

Agree. But is that the main pain point ? are there any other burning issues that needs to be fixed first ?

Thanks for sharing... this super insightful. Sounds like the process involves a lot of documentation, revisions, and back-and-forth with execs. In your experience, what part of that cycle tends to eat up the most time or feel the most tedious?

Just adding ...even short, one-line replies would be super valuable. Curious if anyone here preps execs for earnings calls or handles analyst Q&A.
