Week in Review - November 1
November 1, 2024
What an incredible (and incredibly busy!) few months! So many amazing CS-focused events out there, and GGR had a part in a few of them! From our September live event in Austin, TX, to participation in ChurnZero’s Zero-In through a presentation and a happy hour, to the 2nd annual Demopalooza that just ended yesterday with 17 vendors participating over the course of 4 days. Keep an eye out for the announcement that the demo videos are live in GGR in the next week or so!
As we gear up for a rapidly approaching end of year, I am wondering what you are focusing on? Is it finishing strong and making sure you are reaching out to those last customers on the list? Are you beginning to look at changes in processes and strategies for 2025? Are you just trying to keep up with all of the meetings, asks, and fires? Take a moment to share your status in GGR!
