So, while I try to keep this journal personal and very much separate from anything that might lead back to my job, I do have a vaguely work related question for you guys
( Read more... )
1) Sales isn't really my department, but right now we're trying to find businesses that would be a good fit for us (e.g. people who would actually prefer our fancier but more expensive software to Quickbooks), and then to meet people from that industry that we'd like to work with while getting started in their industry. (At least, who we would enjoy working with more than our current clients. Which in some cases, is not saying much. But that's another story.)
2) Oooh. Yeah, that might be a good place to throw cards and try to meet people who aren't total bastards.
3) Bicycle Shops are a good one, actually, because they do repairs and stuff too. (The problem with coffee shops and similar establishments is that, as far as I know, their business process is pretty simple, at leas the part that gets recorded on paper or in databases, and something like Quickbooks can cover it. Possibly even Excel. But if there's some coffee shop out there that wants to track more detailed info about their employee performance and do Coffee Sales Commissions calculations, I would love to meet them!)
4) I am actually glad to hear that the new guy is actually worth the paper he's printed on! And I understand completely if you guys have sort of burned out your budget for computer services already.
But that being said, since you are a friend, you are much more likely to get some kind of introductory deal, if you ever decide that you don't like your business system as a whole. And if your website is in PHP, it shouldn't be hard to get it to talk to our system.
But yeah, if you know any retailers with weird requirements, that's exactly what we're looking for.
