On Thursday, I biked over to Soho for my first day of consulting for ShopKeep. (They were a fantastic client and I ended up working with them every week for the next 9 months!)
...to help them map their sales process in preparation for moving things over to SalesForce. At Flux Capacity I help companies define, then optimize complicated, costly things. Sometimes it looks like this!
On Tuesday I went down to SinglePlatform and admired some of the posters created to by their sales teams. "Eat your Greens for Laser Fucking Focus!" "If looks could sell." Hahaha.
Then spent the rest of the afternoon helping a start-up I advise build a model that takes all their assumptions into consideration and helps them understand how the relationship between all the variables in their business and how they related to the return (or lack of return!) generated by their investment. Modeling this all out beforehand helps companies identify what needs to be true in order to be successful. (Nerd stuff!)
Work-plug: If your company employs developers, I'd love to help you create a similar map that you can use to understand how to best invest their time and effort in order to grow the business. (Flux Capacity)
Late that afternoon, I headed to meet my clients in midtown to present my thoughts. My job is wonderfully weird. I feel really lucky that I get to rent-out my brain to help people solve problems that are important to them.
Spent Wednesday morning organizing my thoughts for a VC fund that had hired me to put together my thoughts about a market they were considering for investment.
After almost two years of consulting full-time as Flux Capacity, I finally had worked with enough clients to put together a decent-looking clients page. Photoshop drop-shadow, kapow!
