These newsletters will start to be featured on GainGrowRetain so you can easily search through previous sends.
For today, bringing a tip from Austin Belcak. He mentions a principle that we’re more likely to remember the First and Last moments of an experience. Great post, but two quick things you can implement in the Q&A section…
“What’s the most unexpected lesson you’ve learned while working here?”
“When you look back at this in 12 months, what has this hire done to exceed all expectations?”
Asking memorable questions can help you stand out.
LearnUpon
Head of Customer Experience
Philadelphia
LearnUpon is a learning management system that delivers corporate training.
What I think LearnUpon does:
Seems fairly straight forward with their branding and description…but a learning management system
They mention employees, partners and customers - differentiator I haven’t seen before is the introduction of tracks for partners (often not thought about)
Why I like this opportunity with LearnUpon:
Learning experiences (especially digital) are going to become more necessary
Love that they have a Partner focus - lots of companies grow with a partner strategy but fail to enable them correctly
They had some financing activity back in 2014-2016 timeframe but looks like this business may largely be bootstrapped. Lots of good qualities about that.
High marks on Glassdoor - especially about the CEO
More on the job:
Carrie may be good to connect with
Your role may fit within Susan’s organization (just taking a guess)
Whistic
Senior Customer Success Manager
Salt Lake City
Whistic enables users to conduct and respond to security reviews on a single platform to grow with their needs.
What I think Whistic does:
Helps you reduce any friction on security and compliance for such things as audits or reviews
They’re creating a marketplace for both buyers and sellers - this could become extremely valuable if they’re able to grow the market
Why I like this opportunity with Whistic:
They just secured their Series A from a respected fund in Album VC
In my mind, this is going to grow rapidly. With more data going into the cloud - there has to be security measures in place. We want to keep our teams on the most impactful tasks, not administrative tasks. This is a no brainer.
If you want a rocket-ship, this to me is the closest thing I’ve seen as of late
More on the job:
Scott would be a great connection to make
