SR&ED Lab, this week: no cold email yet, on purpose.

I run SR&ED Lab: I write the technical side of SR&ED claims for Canadian software companies. The plan was to start cold email to Canadian founders this month, from a brand-new domain. Before that, I've spent the last couple of weeks sending a few real emails a day to people who actually reply. What it showed: Gmail delivered fine, but Hotmail put my messages in spam. A new domain has no reputation yet, and the mailbox providers don't all treat it the same. So the cold start moved to Nov 9. Until then I keep the warm-up going and talk to founders here instead. If you're building software in Canada, I'd like to hear how you handle R&D tax credits today, even if the answer is "I don't".

Meetings and Calendar: sales calls in the same workspace

This week's feature update is about the part of a deal that happens on a call. Leads, Tasks and ToDos come free in every EloSync workspace. Calendar and Meetings are free modules you install from the Marketplace. Once they're on, you can add a Zoom or Google Meet link to any meeting, invite anyone by email, and see every meeting on the team calendar, in the same workspace as your leads and follow-up tasks. Why I built it this way: the call is often where a lead turns real. It shouldn't live in a calendar only one person checks. What do you use right now to keep track of sales calls?
