I created several tutorials to get Salesloft's product design team comfortable using agents. I got several requests for those videos, so I'm going to record a few videos showing my workflow.

Here's the first episode:

About 18 months ago I delivered this presentation to the Salesloft product org about the importance of delivering FAST.

So much is about to change how software is delivered, and while the references are old, the message could not be more relevant.

Company size is probably the most important factor in determining whether startup advice is applicable. SidePrize had different needs at 3 vs 10 people, which was very different than SalesLoft at 100 or 500 people.

One step further—describe the specific value the product provides. For a long time @SalesLoft's marketing site simply said "Increase Qualified Demos by 300%"

Pro tip: When launching a product, especially for an unknown brand, avoid super-vague-marketing-jazz-hands copy.

E.g. I just saw a product described with the tagline, “For anywhere work takes you”. I have no idea what that means.

Wrote a bit about the team badge I was working on. Also, some alternative color palettes that we decided not to use. solomon.io

Psst. Our design team is looking for experienced product designers and UX researchers.

Meetings began as a concept I started at the engineering offsite last spring. It's been awesome to see this feature come together! salesloft.com
