    • Notes:

    • The channels are there, but it's a lot of noise
    • Focusing on the delivery of what we are going to do
    • Missed their mark, so we are going to refocus on what we do
    • CEO wacked, CMO wacked, a lot of people, I'm like oh no
    • Hardest thing in smaller companies: a 1-off large deal size over ruling pre-set priorities
    • Asked what you wanted, then trumped by a company trying to be nimble
    • It all sucked. I understand it, but we lost all around.
    • If prioritize something, stick to it.
    • Dollars trumping process is bad
    • Never know how much voice you have
    • People will always try to game the system
    • You and your customers get on the same page; and how many times does that happen...
    • A transparent % of say, would spark communication
    • What do you want,... just tell me
    • Sometimes you don't get a chance to cultivate relationships with customers
    • Depreciation is huge, and what if someone leaves the company, why should their voice matter
    • What works, flat out asking
    • What doesn't work, multiple emails or huddled conference calls
    • Direct 1-1 communications work best
    • Direct line of communication with the right people
    • Direct communication and alignment with the product team
    • When people have different projects in different silos, they don't exactly want each other's input
