Sid Plamondon Email & Phone Number

While driving home from a long day on the road doing sales calls, I received a call from the Management team with a specific question. They needed to know (in a relatively quick fashion) how many customers in the rural town I have called on for the past 2 years, that have expressed a need for a specialized transportation service which was not part of our offering.​​When I got home I fired up the laptop, signed into the VPN and pulled my meeting details for the last 2 years. Boom, I had over four thousand meeting notes to go through on top of my regular end of day duties. Boy, was I excited at the functionality of the CRM, but soon realized that this was going to be a labor intensive process. I asked Google for suggestions to sort this data and there were more suggestions than the meetings I had to review.​Luckily for me I had experience with programing from a previous life. I exported the file from the CRM, applied a few data filters and narrowed down the meetings to a few hundred. With coffee in hand, I started to read through my meeting notes. I came across a meeting which mentioned a conversation I had with a prospect talking about specialized transportation service. Funny, I could not remember the meeting but after reading the notes it all came back to me. There were some profile keywords that I had used in the meeting, I thought to myself I am sure I must have used the same conversation tactics with other customers. One by one, I searched my Data for the similar conversations, and it narrowed the list down even further, three hours later I found a small list of customers that expressed a need for this transportation service.My Journey Began.
