waynepanon Show HN: Dorkly – Open source feature flags

I'm also unrelated to Dorkly but I'm a big believer in feature flagging. It's key to moving fast as an engineering/product team.

be happy to walk you through how we use it. Shoot me an email if you want to chat. wayne at inaccord.com

waynepanon Launch HN: Accord (YC W20) – Repeatable sales and onboarding for B2B startups

We have not yet perfected onboarding for Accord, especially for new users. Not every company needs Accord today. We add the highest value for multi-stakeholder opportunities.

Given that, we ask for time to understand your current sales and/or onboarding process, translate that to repeatable playbooks within Accord, and introduce the best practices we've found on how to engage your customers using the platform.

That being said, if you'd like a free trial workspace (which I'm happy to create) shoot me an email wayne at inaccord dot com.

waynepanon Launch HN: Accord (YC W20) – Repeatable sales and onboarding for B2B startups

Hi, your friendly third co-founder here! Good point around the way that the post was written. Ross and Ryan went through YC W20 for Accord. I joined shortly after and the impetus for founding is based on their learnings and what is shared in this post.

waynepanon Launch HN: Accord (YC W20) – Repeatable sales and onboarding for B2B startups

Hi HN! I'm CTO and the third co-founder of Accord. Having never been professionally in sales, I had to reset my expectations of how to be successful in sales today.

The first realization that customers don't want to talk to you, but that was just the beginning of my journey. Approaching sales as "how can I help my customer solve THEIR problem together" instead of "how can I sell the customer MY solution" was the second level.

The final realization is that these sales reps already exist in every successful startup. How can we build software to give everybody (not just sales reps!) this super power has been the most reward challenge of my career.

We're just getting started... but also in true HN fashion, we're also hiring! wayne at inaccord dot com.

waynepanon Ask HN: Does your Amazon Echo talk to you without being asked?

It hasn't done that but the dot would constantly disconnect from the internet (and bluetooth speaker) and announce it. They should really add a "Do Not Disturb" time window.
