Sales Notifications in Slack

When someone signs up to our membership platform at Ministry of Testing we have it set up so that we get auto notifications to our Slack. This is what it looks like. The money bags keep us smiling. :)

    That's cool! I love how much money Ministry of Testing makes and how humble you are about it :)

    Genuine question: How do you find the time to run a big company, be an IH community manager and be a mum all at the same time?

    How much do you allocate to each one per day? And any other tips about how to manage your time?

      I burnt out 3 years ago, decided at that point that I wasn't the one to 'manage' the company going forward. It's been a slow process. I'm very part time there atm the moment, probably 8 hours max a week (down from 20 hrs a week at the beginning of the year), I'm aiming for less as each month passes. I hired a CEO to take the company forward, I'll remain an advisor/owner, for now at least.

      My husband and I worked together on the business, we very much share workload in life and work. We also now have a full time nanny, though that's a recent thing. Previous to that it was literally shift work with kids between my husband and I, I didn't realise how tiring that is until we got a nanny - basically always working or with the kids and very little time to ourselves.

      I've been part-time here at IH since March and it's been great fun from my perspective. I really needed a change from Ministry of Testing.

      All my work is remote and flexible, it's the only way I can work.

        I'm glad you're reclaiming back your time. I wish you and your family success, joy and plenty of fun adventures.

    Sales notifications in Slack can be a powerful way to keep your sales team informed and motivated. Here are some tips for setting up effective sales notifications in Slack:

    Set up a dedicated sales channel: Create a dedicated channel in Slack where all sales notifications can be posted. This will help keep sales-related messages separate from other conversations, and make it easier for salespeople to stay up-to-date on the latest sales activities.

    Choose the right notifications: Determine which sales activities and metrics are most important to your team, and set up notifications accordingly. For example, you might want to receive notifications when a new lead is added to the CRM, when a deal is closed, or when a sales target is achieved.

    Use automation tools: Consider using automation tools like Zapier or IFTTT to automatically post sales notifications in Slack. This can help streamline the process and ensure that notifications are posted consistently and accurately.

    Keep it positive: Sales notifications in Slack can be a great way to celebrate wins and keep the team motivated. Make sure to include positive messages and praise for a job well done, in addition to more routine sales updates.

    Very cool! I do something similar with Stripe's generic Slack integration. Digging the money bags!!
