And do you use automation to reduce that?

Sales pitching, calling, cold mailing and running campaigns. Although building a product/platform is cool (I love to build products) but without customers inflow it can die fast. I find no true automation for getting customers (relationship building is unfortunately not a matter of automation yet) and that takes up a lots of time and effort for my startup.

@swapratim_roy Have you tried finding a CMO co-founder?
In my case, it was meetings. I couldn't find any automation for it.
After I quit to start building my products, I think it's research.
I'm considering some automation for idea generation or research storage and consumption but not sure yet.
@robertomorais But now you know an automation tool that can help you with your meetings,.
Check out this tool and detailed review here: https://medium.com/@software_guy...
@robertomorais Research is a really time consuming part. Some articles are perfectly linked so I jump from one to another.
@sefasarikaya Yeah, it's easy to enter the rabbit hole and stay there.
Sales calls and meetings.. not sure how automation can be done..
However there are other areas where I use automation and definitely saves quality time.
@satish_kumar_veluri That's good, what are some good tools for automation that you use in your daily life.
@satish_kumar_veluri Maybe a questionary would help you. You can ask questions as a form instead of making a discovery call.
@sefasarikaya Depends upon your product, target audience and their geographical location.
Outside the work, it is social media
Travelling to the work 😣
@adams_parker Did remote work fail during the pandemic?
Social media marketing
@shushant_lakhyani I suppose it is not your area of expertize. You might postpone it until you can hire a pro.
Social media
@andrew_mason3 I use it with limits so I don't use it often, I recommend you the same.
Doing work that I don't know how to do or don't like doing. It could be anything, like cleaning or repairing. I'd rather spend more time at work and pay a professional for the job than have to figure out how to fix a broken faucet myself. Therefore, for me, handyman are almost sacred people who should receive decent pay for their work.
Earlier for me it was travel and meetings.. Now , just meetings and calls Bit relieved , as automation can not achieve full solution for this ..

@harsha_vardhan01 Travel around or travel to the work? What did change now?
In my case, Subject research, new content search
well I have no interest in gaming and sports I like to read books articles and giving online quiz on platforms like Telenor today answer it also gives you a job opportunity if you pass the test and increase your general knowledge.
@xdio_gawer Increasing the general knowledge is always interesting for me
Thinking about fundraising, currently
@colin_johnson5 That phase needs to be focused and it is okay to consume time there
Other then work and home management. Social media consume all the spare time.
@alexey_xerov How would you like to replace that?
Определенно
Office meetings.
@nancy_talton Sometimes you could say I don't need to be in this meeting
