What are you working on this week? (w/c 2 September)

@johan_bavaud That's so exciting. What ways are you automating your work tasks?

@abadesi Mail Automation to follow-up/support every customer journeys, Auto campaign on Ads + Facebook, Auto PR contact, Auto KPI's report generated, ... With Zappier, some line of codes and good softwares, it's possible to build a true sales/marketing system which was not possible years ago. But it is just for one month and keep a sustainable growth during my absence ; it's impossible to automate everything imo.

And you @abadesi, what did you already automate in your business/tasks ? And what would you automate in the futur ?

@johan_bavaud wow this is great! I haven't automated much. I run my side business with a part time remote team so there are people responsible for business essentials. Of late I have been thinking a lot about automation - you've inspired me! Are you ever tempted to get a virtual assistant?

@abadesi Happy to send you some inspiration from Switzerland ! What kind of side business do you run ? Its clear there are limits with these automations - mostly when your users/customers feel in front of a robot. It's a balance to find imo. I try quietly to build a personal assistant, but I am really in alpha test. Do you have any recommendation here ?

@imswaathik I would change up the word "actionables" to something else (it doesn't really roll off the tongue). Maybe tasks?

@jonathan_sun1 yeah! I was mulling over that. It’s just that those actionables don’t have a due date or an assigned just yet and I was trying to come up with a feature name. Thanks for your insight! I’ll work towards it. :)

@imswaathik what did you come up with? :)

@sarahloertscher ah! I'm over thinking about this soo much and guess where I'm at? Still actionables! :(

@imswaathik I know that feeling! What about just "action items"? :)

Great Thank you : ) Basically, we develop a product to help freelancers focus on what matters by automating tasks they don't like to do. Any feedback warmly welcomed on the video presentation! https://prototypo-1.wistia.com/m... Thank you @jonathan_sun1 !

@yannick_mthy Yeah! It's a good product! The presentation does feel a little cartoony (however, depending on your customer base, it could be a good thing). Also what if you could include a storytelling element in the presentation? Rather than just a straight problem -> solution video, you could tell a story about "Joe the average freelancer" and how he's overloaded with tasks to do! Just a couple of ideas haha

@jonathan_sun1 That's definitively a great feedback, thank you! I have a second video (still in french for the moment) where I talk face-to-cam and tell a story. I used to share it on LinkedIn but I will definitively think about it!

@cristianmoisei sounds great, was it something you already had on the roadmap?

@abadesi it was, but I didn’t know there will be such strong demand for it so now it’s at the top of the priorities list.

@sukhsidhuuk Wow that's so speedy! Hope you find some promising folks soon. What's your recruitment process?

@abadesi For this it was social media posts to conversations via DM to phone interview for interesting candidates

@bigmints That's so exciting well done!

@bernice_galebach I've always been into this concept! I think I saw one developed in Seattle called CoffeeBreak (https://www.coffeebreakapp.com/). Where you located?

@yanina_v_noel congrats!
