Hey, @Keane at Story Pitch Decks - glad to see you here in this new cohort. Love your service for pitch decks. What is the biggest challenge you face with sales (this is the sales cohort š )

Hey, @Ernesto Valles, I would be warry. If it looks to good to be true, it probably is. Best way is to asses exactly what you can spend on lead gen- there will always be costs. What is your ideal client profile? then use LinkedIn or Apollo to reach out to the perfect prospects directly. LinkedIn connecting, LinkedIn messaging, cold email, cold direct phone calls. Ping me if you want to discuss.

Interesting. How do we learn more, @Amit Guruprasad

@Christine Blyth - congrats on your launch! If you do not have a fairly robust network from which to glean referrals, you may want to consider reaching out to folks on LinkedIn. One of the least expensive ways is to invest in LinkedIn Sales Navigator ($100 a month) in which you can do deep searches for your ideal prospects, then begin connecting with them and finding ways to interest them in what you are doing. Happy to share with you sometime.

Hey, @Amit Guruprasad looks really interesting - congrats!. The logo seems to be including a spiritual approach. Is that the case?

@Dan Hiester ClickUp is good, but really feature rich and therefore kinda confusing. If you're gonna get a wider group of people on it, might be a challenge. We have used Asana because it is simple and easier for most to start using fairly quickly.

Amazing looking app, @Liam Foley thanks for sharing!

Great meeting today, @Diana Stepner. Was there an Office Hours meeting afterward here? Did not see that.

Hey, @Ghanashyam Prabhakar - great discussion. In my experience, The hardest thing is getting the RIGHT people into a sales call. Many companies waste a lot of time and resources talking to the wrong people (not qualified to buy what you have).
I highly recommend what you have mentioned - a Founder or professional sales person running qualified calls. How to get the qualified calls? One way is to hire a hunter. But another way...

Let me know if you want an intro

@Michael J Frank I have a very good guy for you. He's independent now but was a partner in a very good fractional CFO firm. Talk to him directly at . LinkedIn:

On the other hand, you bring a good point. Without the essential people, the product or service cannot be delivered!

I'm with Michael - sales. Even with skilled employees, @ a company will still have to sell its products and services.

Looks very interesting, @Sandeep Kondury - how does it differ from Fireflies and/or the Zoom notetaker? Not trying to be critical, just wondering he differences.

Have used Phantom. Much better is Linked Helper. A bit non-user friendly, but very powerful. Their support is excellent and the price is definitely right:

Hello Everyone - Henri Schauffler here.
I joined Gildre at the invitation of @Taiga Gamell after a short convo about Gildre. I love the concepts. A virutal community of entrepreneurs, advisors and funders. Here in the Washington DC area, where I live, we have a couple such a group, but it's all in-person.
The future is virtual, I believe, so hats off to the Gildre team for what's going on here.
What Iām working on:
I have run three businesses in my career as CEO/President. Two were nicely successful; one was a miserable failure! But I probably learned more from that experience than the other two -:).
Then, for 13 years I ran CEO Peer Advisory groups under the brand CEO Focus. I loved working with all the great CEOs. I didn't have to be the grand guru, just needed the skill to draw wisdom out from the members. It was a powerful experience.
These days, I am partnering with another fellow to bring groups like this virtual, because, as I mentioned, I think that is the future of business relationships.
How I can help:
I would love to mentor any CEO that needs some support. Also, I would be very inspired to assist the community in forming peer advisory groups/mastermind/roundtables. They are really powerful additions to any CEOs arsenal of support.
Why I was interested in joining Gildre:
It is now the "twilight of my career" and I am always looking for ways to give back. Any way I can assist small business owners/founders to plow through to success will be most rewarding!
Where I could use support:
Any way I can be shown an opportunity to assist a growing enterprise, I am all in!
