One of the thumbs down sides of using a CRM to manage connections is that it can feel like you are just interacting with user interfaces and spreadsheets, not actual people. As I have been building out SingleFig, intentionally not bringing Ai into the one-to-one communiations, I still felt confined. Over the past few days I was able to bust out of that confinement with the creation of the SingleFig News Feed.
I love information, and learning new information, and especially learning information that I can share with someone else. By using the power of Ai to reach out and find relevant websites and informative feeds, every subscriber, including myself, has access to an extensive array of resources that can be customized. Each morning an email is sent out of many of these resources. At 5:00 the SingleFig at 5 newsletter is sent out containing any articles published that day.
The email also includes the list of contacts I am wanting to be in close contact with, along with their email address and phone number.
I am so looking forward to receiving my own email tomorrow morning, because it means that I will finally be breaking out of the CRM. I will have the most up-to-date access to information in my industry, and will be able to finally just live among the humans!
