Breaking News and a Riddle

/By: bmsteam

- November 14, 2018 -

The holidays are just around the corner.

If you're in online retail, Black Friday is front and center.

Our team has had their heads down for the last 6 months finishing up proprietary CyberFunnel software that will allow a sales team to avoid having to even log into Infusionsoft to manage their leads.

+ Each member of the team (admin, sales reps, managers) sees only what they need to finish a task or update a stage outcome.

+ Each member has their own internal calendar to schedule appt's with their leads that syncs with their Google calendar (or whatever they use.)

+ Each time a new outcome is noted in the system, the appropriate followup magically happens. No human error.

+ If a prospect doesn't take the next step after a set number of reminders, their "owner" is alerted with instructions on what to do. No slipping through the cracks.

+ SMS is locked and loaded for appt reminders.

+ In Q1 of 2019...the roadmap includes a Quick Books integration, an internal cost calculator (for contractors, etc,) and an internal proposal builder with eSign.

+ In Q2 of 2019...the roadmap includes a full out project management all contained in the same portal.

+ One login for everything.

+ No more system chaos.

Exciting times.

Busy as hell.

A turkey and wine coma is coming, people!

Woohoo!

Let's lighten things up...

I'm not a puzzle guy.

Crosswords are Cheryl's thing.

Golf is mine.

But...Cheryl hit me with this riddle the other day and it's pretty addictive.

Take a crack at it and I'll give you the answer tomorrow...along with a few random comments.

How random will depend on the level of caffeine in my system at the time 🙂


RIDDLE:

You're at Highland Park Reservoir near Pittsburgh.

(Because sightseeing at the home of the mighty Steelers has been on your bucket list forever. Lol)

You have both a 5 gallon and a 3 gallon pail.

Since you're at a reservoir, you have unlimited water.

How are you gonna make the 5 gallon pail have 4 gallons using nothing more than the two pails and a hose.

There are no gallon marks on either of the pails - you have no way to measure or weigh the amount of water.


Have fun!

Oh...and if the software that comes with our CyberFunnels service intrigues you, lemme know.
