Method3 · Roadmap

Method3 · Ronald Partridge

From the handshake to the record

A roadmap for keeping the people you meet. The work starts on the iPad in the room.

The situation

A conversation dies between the handshake and the CRM

The room went well. The follow-up never reached the system.

The complication

The note is a memory The system is somewhere else

Sometimes that system is Salesforce. Sometimes it predates the word CRM.

The answer

The capture is the iPad in the room

Three steps on one screen.

  1. The picture A card, or a LinkedIn screen.
  2. The note Typed, or spoken.
  3. The read A person checks it before it is saved.

Try it now

A blank stays blank

Photograph a card. Watch what it fills and what it leaves alone.

For your team

Each rep's iPad holds the night

In the morning, each rep exports. The file is the handoff.

Over the system you already run

The file goes where your system already looks

This page never logs into your org.

Salesforce

A Contact CSV: FirstName, LastName, Title, Company, Description, LeadSource set to Meetup.

Data Loader, a Flow, or middleware you trust upserts it.

The older system

A CSV, a vCard, or JSON.

It goes on the share a nightly job watches, or on the queue the estate already uses.

Why it holds

The same rule as a department file

Ronald builds for the PA State Department. A machine may draft. A person decides.

Roadmap

Four horizons Start with tonight

Each horizon stands on the one before it. Dates come after the team is named.

  1. Tonight This scanner.
  2. One team Your event. Your export.
  3. Your system The file it already eats.
  4. The pattern A photo in. Strict fields. A person confirms. The record you trust.

The ask

Walk it once Then name the team and the system

That is enough to draw the first horizon.
