@rashi_kakkar @themgmtconsult Got it, yes consulting (and big firms like McK) are obv more restrictive in that sense. One idea would be to generate spicy content on-site. Like LinkedIn forms, surveys etc. for your audience. Then everyone knows it’s local knowledge; not misappropriated from a client.

Totally Max! I noticed you were formally at the firm too so you would know all the rules around what we can and cannot post. I would love to post more on my platform and the work I do at the firm but I also have to respect the guidelines set internally + client confidentiality

About 2 months ago, I started posting on Linked1n twice a week. I write my posts in advance, and schedule them for publishing on Tue and Thu - yet I had a guy today tell me that I should post less because I'm all over his feed! This was achieved (unintentionally, tbh...) by consistently posting JUST twice a week for some time, total invested time is probably <30 minutes a week. Sounds like there's massive leverage to be uncovered somewhere on that platform..

@themgmtconsult @rashi_kakkar In my experience, the most successful posts are when you share something novel/unique for a specific niche. I think of it as a $1,000 expert call. The stuff I enjoy reading myself - and my audience does too. It really helps to define your audience first, as you discussed.

@rashi_kakkar Exactly... Everything has to be ultra-generic, or basically company advertising (which I hugely limit because that's what everyone else does across all organisations...)

That's how the CDD sausage is made - thanks for reading! DM to try out Inex One. It's a true game-changer, users tell us: inex.one/inex-one-revie… 🧵8/8.

With Inex One, EN associates see project status live, across all projects. They plan their day optimally and adjust focus between projects in real-time. The result? Clients get optimal service, and EN associates make more money per hour worked. All parties win. 7/8.

🧵Expert networks have immense OpEx, caused by inherent inefficiencies in their service model. This "black box" problem cannot be solved by the networks themselves, but by introducing a dedicated expert network aggregator like Inex One. 1/8

@johnloeber I think it’s too different profiles - the LLM training firms hire younger folks for broad categories like “physics phds”, while expert networks have very niche profiling. It’s hard to get a 50+ exec to train a LLM, when you struggle to get them on an expert call.

It is very interesting that Tegus, Guidepoint, GLG, etc. — all the expert networks — totally dropped the ball on the extremely lucrative expert training data market, despite having all the experts in their networks! Instead, new entrants have picked it all up.

In recent months, Jinfo has focused on expert networks and their growing role in research and decision making. Here we summarise some of our findings. Click here to read: jinfo.com/go/blog/103381…

Our flywheel: 1. For every new client user joining, the expert networks have more incentives to go the extra mile. 2. This translates to better customer experiences, making clients come back for more insights. 3. All fuelled by the best tech in the expert network industry.

The expert network industry suffers from a coordination problem. We solve for coordination, transaction costs plummet, and everyone is better off. It's come a long way. But we're not done yet. The beauty of the marketplace model is the flywheel:

I spent 3.5 years in the CDD trenches, at McKinsey and Oliver Wyman. We did hundreds of expert interviews. No consultant wants to "manage the expert network stream." It means drowning in calls and emails. A messy spreadsheet tracking all experts and costs from all networks.

This guy just won the Ig Noble prize of sales emails. First it makes you laugh, then it makes you think.

The file is called "Comma Separated Values", yet Text-to-columns assumes Tab delimiter by default. Did anyone ever delimit a dataset with tabs? 🤔 @msexcel

@Siftedeu is so used to scaleups not turning a profit that it's not even an option in the application form 😅

I'm a big fan of Linear @karrisaarinen and encouraged by your speed of adding new features. But chill a bit with the layout changes - what used to save us time is now a snakepit of unfamiliar views. It's probably part user error, part engineer bonanza confusing the UX.
