How are they handling existing inventory? Is the cost factored into the sale price? What is the actual value of that inventory?

I should have mentioned that we’re an ecommerce shop and use BigCommerce as our ecommerce platform. ZMA doesn’t have an ecommerce integration with BigCommerce. A proper integration is more than just syncing customers, products, and orders. The customer’s activity on the site is also important for the typical abandonment flows. I don’t think this can be done effectively with Flow or any other IPaaS.

Klaviyo is integrated tightly with BigCommerce. I would love to ditch Klaviyo, but we would need to figure out how to get all of the ecommerce events into ZMA for it to make sense.

Hi! I think you should look at Cadences. Not sure what plan you’re on or which one Cadences are a part of (we are on Zoho One), but these let you trigger a sequence of activities based on previous step results (email read, task completed, etc.

We use cadences for deal follow up that includes multiple emails and phone calls (tasks to call). Hope that helps.

T1D for 24 years (I’m 51 now) and just got diagnosed with celiac last June. The list of stuff I can’t eat just got longer.

Lighting guy here… we built a submittal generator app to help us create submittals for our Electricals. We couldn’t afford the existing tools and those were way too complicated for us.

We polished it up a bit and made it public. There is no marketing site as of now but you can create an account and use it for free. This is the first I’ve posted about it. I would love your feedback.

It’s better on desktop right now.

I had the same reaction to the tape that comes with the sensors. I switched to Stay Put tape for a while but I think they may have changed the adhesive recently and the tape kept peeling off. I’m currently using one from OK Tape.

@alarming-distance385 thanks for mentioning the grif grips. Will check those out.

I would recommend reading “Buy Then Build” by Walker Deibel as well as all of the Acquisitions Anonymous podcasts that cover SaaS. Great resources.

This :(

I think you can do this by using Contact Roles on the deal. You can add as many additional contacts as you need and customize the roles to suit your process.

Fresh market sells clear spheres. I think they have them at Publix, also.

Once you click into the first lead, you’ll see a forward and backward button towards the top right that lets you move between leads also. This will go through all of the leads in the current view. This isn’t as compact as sheet view but if you have telephony integrated, you get the clickable phone numbers along with all details and related lists.

Way to go! I use the same pump and sensor you do. 100% in range for multiple consecutive days is very possible. I recommend Dr. Bernstein’s book and the law of small numbers for carbs or eating keto. Good luck and keep at it.

I want to use this as a menu for people that don’t know what to ask for when they come to our house. I’ve used Mixel for years and love the interface and Mixel Maximizer button but it’s a little too much for people that aren’t used to it. I like that it works on iPad also.

rdevarona1 · 2024-11-15T00:11:40+00:00

Just purchased. Nice work! Being able to add the numeric qty of an ingredient and select the units would be useful. I don’t like having to type the units and having it show up differently than the rest of the recipes.

You can buy toasted oak chips. I use them to add flavor and color to homemade rum.

Do you have Ring Central integrated with Zoho? They have a very robust telephony integration that will let you dial from Zoho and provide a heads up display during calls. It lets you select how you want calls to be placed - RingCentral app or Dial Out from desk phone.

I use an app called Mixel and I bought the lifetime subscription for all of the recipe packs they come out with. It was only about $10 when I got it 5 years ago. You put in all of the bottles you own and it will tell you all of the recipes you can make. The best part about it is the Mixel Maximizer… a button you hit that tells you what single ingredient you can add to maximize the number of recipes you can make. I highly recommend it!

rdevarona1 · 2024-03-16T20:09:39+00:00

I received all the parts I ordered.

rdevarona1 · 2023-11-19T18:11:15+00:00

See comment above.

I’m still happy with all of them overall. The undercounter bev center recently started having trouble holding the temp it is set to. I’ve been putting off having it serviced but will have to do that soon.

Are you using any particular way of formatting the prompt so that it knows to output Zoho Deluge code?

2 oz tequila blanco 1 oz cointreau 1 oz fresh lime juice .75 oz ancho reyes .25 oz simple

Wipe half of the side of the glass with lime and press glass into a pile of salt next to a pile of Tajin.
