  • A Guide to Salesforce Training (Strategy & Resources)

  • To stay the same

    Willem de Kooning said, “I have to change to stay the same.”

    Because whatever system we’re in is changing. Because every step we take changes the ground we walk on. Because while you’re busy trying to keep it all together, someone else is working just as hard to change it again.

    Some organizations, artists and leaders work to disrupt and innovate.

    And some seem content to close their eyes and will things to be exactly as they were yesterday or last year.

    Between the innovator and the laggard, though, is most of us. Surfing and dancing with possibility, simply to continue to serve and keep our promises.

    What you do isn’t how you do it. What you do is the promise you make to the people you serve. If the people change, then the specifics of your promise have to change as well.

    [Thanks to Will for the quote.]

  • Alternative to Flexitive?

    Does anyone have a recommendation for an alternative to Flexitive? I was testing Flexitive to see if it meets my needs but it does not export in png and I need transparent backgrounds. I’m interested in these features: Ability to create multiple sizes quickly and easily (social media sizes but also custom sizes for websites, emails, and more). Design once and that’s it other than maybe tweaking things. Ability to automate creatives like Flexitive’s data feed feature. Set up a master template and then automate backgrounds and text. Ability to do simple animations. Not as important as the other features so this is not a deal breaker. I’ve been googling and searching on Reddit but nothing is really coming up. As a solopreneur I don’t really want to spend my time coping and pasting and doing all this manually. There has to be a creative automation app out there 🧐 Thanks

    The acquisition of MindTouch, a knowledge management software company based in San Diego, California. NICE offered no financial details of the acquisition.
