@princeghosh97 @ZoomInfo It's what I like to call, very yucky tactics. Do better @ZoomInfo

@ZoomInfo has to be the slimiest lead gen company out there right? How have people gotten out of ZoomInfo contractors once and for all? Is there a class action lawsuit we can join?? - They automatically enroll you in a renewal contract when you sign up without telling you upfront - When you cancel your subscription they will still email to tell you that you have an active one - When you try and get in touch with anyone to ensure your subscription has been cancelled you get the runaround and they aren't able to point you in a direct place/ person - Even a year after we've cancelled we get emails from a supposed "account manager" to tell us our subscription will be renewed and that they want to have a conversation with us about our upcoming plans for the year - They‘ll shamelessly call your Chief Of Staff on her personal phone without her having shared your number (yes, they’re Zoominfo, but that’s illegal in the EU)

@typesfast If you reach out to your local congressman’s office they have the ability to get it expedited within 48 hours. Has worked for several parents I know with the same issue as you describe.

A big thank you to @mrsharma + @moizali for the shoutout on last week's Limited Supply Pod 🚀 Missed/defective inventory is a MASSIVE pain-point and bleeding you out as a brand. Don't waste your own time auditing your suppliers, use factoredquality.com.

Over the last year Factored Quality (factoredquality.com) has scaled massively - and today we released FQ 2.0 to keep up 🚀 The 3 biggest things we've heard from customers are:

@foundedbycelebs wooo! congrats!

Big announcement! We got an upgrade 🔥 As of today, we’re the only place on the internet you’re going to find: ✅ A weekly newsfeed ✅ An endorsement directory ✅ A celebrity founded brand directory ✅ A celebrity fund directory Check it out here: buff.ly/3VHsJJI

OpenAI's chatGPT is mind-blowing. Within minutes, my user behavior pivoted (from Google). This is probably the most valuable and elegant product launch I've seen. It's incredibly exciting to be a part of this moment in humanity.

@FrazerKinsley honestly hubspot will save you the time. i love notion for everything else though

Can I hack together a CRM in Notion or should I just get the free version of Hubspot? Leaning towards Hubspot for scalability reasons, but can’t decide. Use case is for clients, portcos, and prospective clients/portcos. Mostly for contact capture, nothing crazy on email side.

@zawwarkhan_ been following Bobbie - love what they are doing but the market needs to be diversified

@whit5mith Bobbie is taking a stab at it, but its a tough tough market. There is only ONE US based FDA approved coman for infant formula in the US, and they are taking almost no new projects because their Private Label brands are making a killing!

Whoever can find out how to crack the operational hurdles of infant formula and can tie it to the right mom influencers....They will have a 9-10 figure brand on their hands

@zawwarkhan_ @Shwinnabego PREACH

@Shwinnabego $2,500-$3,000 in 1 year LTV. Double that if they have 2 kids. Recurring revenue. Similac and Enfamil have not kept up the pace of innovation, nor do they speak to young mom brands. Extreme brand loyalty if baby likes the product. Mom WILL NOT switch to another brand

looking forward to diving into this

Founders: Keep your head down and try to avoid the noise of the past few weeks. Keep building your awesome companies, for the long term. It’s an honor to serve true builders like you! 💛

@RosenZone 56?!

Erewhon is launching its first co-branded product with vitamin brand Perelel I also learned that Erehwon is 56 years old?? modernretail.co/marketing/erew…

@cpgwire @sweetgreen i would literally drive across the atlantic ocean for their kale caesar

The folks at @sweetgreen unveiled their first drive-thru store in Schaumburg, IL. The grand opening is tomorrow, November 15th. The location only accepts online orders, though.

@FrazerKinsley @JambysTime @kinsleypartners bold one handed box cutter move there!

Tried the solo unboxing vid for our @JambysTime x @kinsleypartners merch— how’d I do?! These things are SWEET!

@dunn i need more coffee for this

What is the smallest cube that can be expressed as the sum of three positive cubes? (I did not know this as of this morning.)

I hate it when I accidentally transfer $8b to my personal account.

@bhalligan also agree but there needs to be due diligence to ensure "effective altruism" isn't a front for something more sinister. either way, it's going to be tainted and people will be skeptical

I hope the “effective altruism” philosophy doesn’t crumble alongside SBF. nytimes.com/2022/11/13/bus…

@dunn the most crypto thing to ever happen to crypto

This is uncanny. Called it on 10/11. I don’t know Marc Cohodes. But wow.
