If planning to work in food service industrty:
* If you fuck up, don't worry, it's your first job, you probably will. No, it will not cost you your career unless you plug a customer.
* If working stoned, drunk, or both - who can blame you, no person in their right mind would do crap work like this sober - As long as you can throw fries into 400 degree boiling oil, throw burgers on a 185 degree grill, or pour shakes without shaking, you'll be fine.
* Don't worry about havung to fix ice cream cones if you work at Mickey D's. The ice cream machine is broken. It' s akways broken, even.if it was just fixed.

Okay, so it's 11 lines, I wanted to be funny.

Hey Blue, how's the studying going or do you not really want to do this like I kind of thought from the start
I think it's the latter.

For Proof of Concepts description, I just used ChatGPT:
ChatGPT wrote:
Describe what a proof of concept is in software sales

In software sales, a proof of concept (POC) refers to a demonstration of a software product or solution that is provided to potential customers or clients to showcase its capabilities and to validate that it can meet their specific needs and requirements.

The proof of concept typically involves a trial version of the software that is customized to meet the specific needs of the customer or client. The POC is designed to provide a real-world example of how the software can be used, and how it can solve the client's problems or challenges.

The POC can help the software sales team to demonstrate the value of the software and convince potential customers to invest in the product or solution. It can also help to identify any potential issues or challenges that may arise during implementation, allowing the software vendor to address these concerns before a full-scale implementation is undertaken.

In summary, a proof of concept is an important part of the software sales process that allows potential customers to evaluate the software and determine whether it meets their needs and requirements.


how does a proof of concept work
A proof of concept (POC) typically involves a small-scale implementation of a software solution or product. The process usually includes the following steps:

Identify the customer's needs and requirements: The software sales team works with the potential customer to understand their specific needs and requirements. This step is crucial in identifying the features and functionalities that need to be demonstrated in the POC.

Develop a customized solution: Based on the customer's needs and requirements, the software sales team will develop a customized solution using the trial version of the software. This step involves configuring the software to meet the specific requirements of the customer.

Install the solution: The software solution is installed on the customer's environment or a demo environment provided by the software vendor. This step allows the customer to test and evaluate the software in a real-world environment.

Demonstrate the solution: The software sales team will provide a demonstration of the software solution to the customer. This step may involve showing how the software can solve specific business problems or how it can streamline existing workflows.

Evaluate the results: After the demonstration, the customer evaluates the results and provides feedback on the solution's effectiveness. This feedback may include identifying any areas for improvement or additional features that may be required.

Determine the next steps: Based on the results of the POC, the customer will decide whether to move forward with the full-scale implementation of the software solution or not. If the customer decides to proceed, the software sales team will work with them to plan and execute the implementation.

Overall, a proof of concept is an effective way for software vendors to demonstrate the value of their product to potential customers and validate that it can meet their specific needs and requirements.Eric Farnham

The Chip Reheating Machine, or CRM, may look like nothing more than a metal bin underneath multiple heat lamps, but learning how the CRM works is imperative not only to maintain quality tortilla chips for customers, but to maintain safety as well. Because the bin is made of metal, its surfaces can get hot enough to burn skin and cause injuries. Chips should always be served from the bin from the right hand side. The bin itself contains three sections: freshly prepared chips should be added to the left. Uneaten chips from tables should be added to the right, to ensure they are recycled as quickly as possible. Regularly salting the chips in the bin will ensure high sales of soft drinks, one of the company's more profitable products.

Thanks for the Jira intro Jonsey! I'll follow up with Salesforce.

Blue, one of the first questions you asked me when we first started talking about the possibility of working together again was "what's a CRM" which is a great question.

Salesforce is the biggest and oldest CRM on the market. We used it a bit at the party office (celebrating a beautiful bubble pop and a startup burning like a meteor to the ground).

Salesforce, like all CRMs is just a user interface on top of a database. Salesforce is still pretty much the same interface as when we used it 20 years ago except they re-skinned it using the REACT framework which allows drag and drop and auto page updates.

It's a tool where salespeople including sales engineers (are supposed to) update all their leads, contacts, opportunities, and Proof of Concepts (next post). You can import leads, contacts, and record activities and set future tasks. It's just as cumbersome now as it was back then except more complicated to set up and automate.

Almost every company of any size has Salesforce and you only need to know two things about it: salesfolk hate the work to update and companies pay lots of money to integrate and automate it.

Enter a whole ecosystem of solutions that integrated with Salesforce (which was the plan 10 years ago when Salesforce decided to "become a platform") to make it easier to work with Salesforce. Provarity is one of those. It uses Syncari to integrate and automate Salesforce, very advanced.

Other types include Sequencers/Cadencers like apollo, outreach, Salesloft, etc.

Salesforce's problem, why their stock is tanking, is their partner layer is able to replace them for a lot of use cases, including running a proof of concept and SDRing which is what we're talking about.

So yeah, I have fluid in my lungs 🫁 and between my left lung and the chest cavity.
It hurts to breathe. Takes weeks to go away.
