Napa Lite 3,278 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Brvy I think I've got a solution for your sheet but just know that I think entering the requests on one page and then actuals on another is bad design. Link to post Share on other sites
InternetExplorer 2,609 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I had this idea a week ago, about how many things it should trigger when an appointment is set with a client, and how horrible our system is at getting the word out when that happens. basically, we have all these specialists, and none of them are directly plugged into / able to leverage all the decentralized data we have (relying on others to be superhumanly proactive). every other company has systems to facilitate cross-selling, but we just don't push it for some reason. so, this last week, I polled all the specialist areas to figure out what data points are necessary for them to find and crash the relevant appointments, and designed a platform of sorts in Excel to generate all the reports for upcoming meetings on a weekly basis. it snowballed out of control, and I now have this enormous pool of data, and an efficient way to build infinite reports. doing this stuff is rewarding enough, but everyone's reaction during the process--like they're watching something exciting happening--is super entertaining. I'm just looking for edges. it really is no more sexy than grinding sit n go poker, getting to high Elo in league of legends, etc. dollars laying on the ground. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Isn't it the responsibility of the adviser to know which specialist to bring to any particular meeting? Link to post Share on other sites

InternetExplorer 2,609 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Isn't it the responsibility of the adviser to know which specialist to bring to any particular meeting? It absolutely is, but for whatever reason it isn't happening unless some event has forced it to the top of the advisor's mind. For the majority of our relationships, the specialist being an option is a relatively new concept, so some of the benefit is the "fresh eyes" factor. Link to post Share on other sites

Napa Lite 3,278 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 On one hand I want the Cubs to win because then I wouldn't have to hear about the curse bullshit anymore and all these f'n fans that have built their entire identity on being the lovable losers will now have to face reality and realize they aren't special and are unremarkably average. And on the other I want them to lose because I'd enjoy watching these fans drop to the lowest of lows after getting their hopes sky high and blowing it. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
