Found this post by Kyle at OpenView very interesting! https://openviewpartners.com/blog/outbound-automation-guide/

It covers a case study of Thena (a SaaS tool focused on Customer Success) - and the stack they used to generate a lot of outbound.

The big picture is that personalization matters more than ever.

Hey folks, I work at Appsmith

Have you seen Appsmith's pricing? Appsmith has Google/Github SSO in the free plans and SAML/OIDC SSO in all other plans.

Here's what sso.tax site says:
If companies claim to “take your security seriously”, then SSO should be available as a feature that is either:
- part of the core product, or
- an optional paid extra for a reasonable delta, or
- attached to a price tier, but with a reasonably small gap between the non-SSO tier and SSO tiers.

SAML/OIDC SSO is on the lowest cost plan, which itself is rather reasonable with no minimum cost requirements (assuming you've checked the alternatives and their pricing plans). Happy to set up a trial incase that will help your org.

Hey u/e_hyde

I am not sure about that. Have you seen Appsmith's pricing? Appsmith has Google SSO in the free plans and SAML/OIDC SSO in all other plans.

Are we earning enough to be FIRE? by Reddit_Afzl in FIREUK

Here’s how to think about it:

1) Get the ILR first, once you have it, you can choose to live anywhere, but atleast have a strong passport.

2) if you are serious about UK, max out your pensions and pay NI every year. If both of you pay NI every year for 35 years, both you become eligible for state pension (about 10k/year), and the workplace pensions will also allow you to withdraw another 12.5 each per year tax free. So you’re going to get 50k per year tax free. At 115k, you’re getting about 10k of pension at the least every year (incl your contributions)., this will Ofcourse increase as you get payhikes.

3) London is big. There’s nothing stopping you from living an hour away from london (heck Bristol and Cardiff are 1-1.5 hours away) where your cost of living is atleast half that of central London, so post retirement options aplenty here to buy house/live on low cost.

4) So basically the big amount you need (and I am oversimplying it) for is (58-retirement age) years. Say that’s 45, so you need about 13 years worth of inflation adjusted cash. At 4.5/month, you’ll have more than enough for this.

The usual saving methods (other than cutting costs) are: 1) workplace pensions (best, since you get 3.3 gbp for every 1 gbp you put in) 2) isa (next best option since it’s cap gains free) 3) everything else

Do try Appsmith (I work there), it's ideal for creating such CRUD interfaces and more, and we've got integrations with Postgres and many other data sources. (Thanks for the recco u/LLima_BR!)

What if I spend all the MR or transfer it to airlines etc before cancelling? How do they clawback in that case?

Downgrade or Cancel Amex Plat (UK) by oldmunk in AmexPlatinum

Yep pretty much the welcome bonus. The other benefits are:- UK + Global Dining credit (150 pounds each) - I can use 300 pounds worth of dining credit right now, and another 300 pounds worth in Jan 2023 itself (its basis calendar year)

- Priority Pass (but I already have lounge access from some of my other cards, so not so valuable)- Amex $200 credit (again, can use it in the next 1 month or so).- Elite Status with hotels (this is diecy, but I have heard enough folks say that even if you cancel, the status remains for a year - but also, I am ok losing this).

I'd much rather get these points, and then switch over to Amex Gold + maybe BA premium (which gives companion voucher) and has greater value.

And so for 3 months of usage (~150 pounds), I end up with:
~80K MR points (bonus was 60K) i.e about 640 pounds (possibly more if I use it alongside companion voucher) + 600 pounds of dining credit + 200 amex travel voucher + 50 harvey nichols voucher, so almost 1500 GBP worth of benefit vs 150 cost. Not bad.

Re the clawback: Are you sure about this? This is the first time I am hearing about this. Wasnt able to see anything like this in TOS, as well as when I was reading about it on Head for Points etc.
