And so Anything But Idle art, Art Gelwicks 1:00 Hey, guys, long time no see, Raymond Sidney-Smith 1:06 we're spending Good, good amount of time together, Art Gelwicks 1:08 they got to spread out these announcements better, they're killing us with this. I mean, there's so much stuff in one, I was not ready for this, all of this stuff that hit at one time. Not that I'm complaining, I love having all kinds of cool toys to look at. But Good grief. Raymond Sidney-Smith 1:23 So this was the pixel fall event on October 19. And of course, at this event, the keynote and the product announcements really were for the long awaited, but mostly known about made by Google smartphones, the pixel six and the six Pro. And so what did you think about the event? Kind of, you know, generally? And what was the What did you feel like, you know, was good about the event bad about the event. And then we could talk about some of the particulars regarding the pixel six, the six pro and of course, the announcement of pixel pass, which is Google's first kind of subscription service for the pixel phones specifically. Art Gelwicks 2:05 Yeah, the event itself, I thought was, if you look at it in the context of all the events that happened, I'd say it was one of the better ones that's happened recently, they did a very good job of laying out exactly what they wanted to cover and how they wanted to cover it. They didn't lose sight of their messaging during the presentation itself. They made it very inviting, why they felt the need to actually do it in the Google Store was, I don't know, that kind of alluded me a little bit. But you could tell from the beginning, that they were all in on the main parts of these new phones, the tensor chip,

And we are coming to you to talk about a productivity technology event that is technology event proper, which is that the Samsung Galaxy unpacked event, the part two of that event, the October 2021 event happened.

So because that's that litany, I just sound like a slacker. I mean seriously. Raymond Sidney-Smith 1:08 Well, it's great. Thanks Art Gelwicks 1:09 for having me. Raymond Sidney-Smith 1:10 Yes, of course. Great to have you on the show to talk about this Samsung Galaxy unpacked part two. And so a brief event. But notwithstanding they announced a few things. Art Gelwicks 1:23 It was like a mini It was like a mini event. Raymond Sidney-Smith 1:26 Yeah, exactly. So so let's get into kind of the primary thing they announced was the Samsung Galaxy z flip three, the bespoke edition, a favorite word of mine, bespoke. And so tell us a little bit about what you thought about the bespoke edition of the Z flip three, Art Gelwicks 1:44 it the whole package of the event was all about personalization. Not only was the flip three talked about for bespoke, and I'm gonna dig into that, but also the galaxy Watch has a split, bespoke option now. And what that really is talking about is this is Samsung's unveiling of their customers supply chain, manufacturing on the fly, for lack of a better term. And if we focus on the Z three, flip the Z flip three, I'll always get that wrong. What you can literally do is go into the Samsung site and choose the color configurations that you want for the device. Do you want a black, you want a gray? Do you want a yellow Do you want a salmon color, I forget the exact color combinations they have. But you can pick and choose them. And then they will build the device to your spec for that it doesn't change the internals, you don't get to choose a better camera or a bigger battery. It's all about the look of the device.

Augusto Pinaud 0:37 So the first article we have is from make use off and it's titled Why context switching is sabotaging your productivity and what you can do about it. And really what they talk about context switching is fast switching, you know what happened when you're working on something, and then you get a distraction, you get a beeping, you get a notification, and then you move on trying to do the famous multitasking that the only thing that produces multi failure, at least from my experience, but and I agree it's a great article, it's a short article to read. And I love the beginning of the article says When is the last time you get 30 minutes on uninterrupted time. And this is something I work a lot with, with clients, you know, they don't get interrupted time and sometimes our own fault, because instead of having our devices work for us, we tend to work for our devices. Or when you look most people do not have take the time to decide which notifications are important. Which notifications we're really want to get, they just instead open. You know the flow of notifications to anything. I I have said for years, I don't check email on my iPhone, I check email on the iPad, I carry the iPad with me 99% of the time sorry,

In this episode of SaaS Connect, your host Sunir Shah, President of Cloud Software Association, interviews Ray Sidney-Smith, President of W3 Consulting, Inc. to discuss what makes SMB consulting companies hesitant to resell SaaS. If you own a SaaS business and are trying to grow your reseller program, this show will add value for you. It provides an in-depth perspective from the other side, on how to make your product more desirable to prospective partners. Ray Sidney-Smith explains what W3 Consulting does, and their mission to help small business owners understand how to use the internet, market and manage on the web. He reveals how best to use mobile and social media technologies, as well as how this fills a gap between SaaS and their customers. The discussion includes: How W3 Consulting went from zero to where they are now. What stops them from going beyond their five core products, even though their customers use many other tools. How W3 Consulting fills a gap between SaaS and SaaS customers, how tech support teams are measured by how fast they can get rid of the customer, and why W3 Consulting customers need them (Hint: it's because they need a human.) Developing workarounds to meet vendor policies that impact the reseller, for example, how Evernote does not allow the customer to designate an agent to their own account . How the reseller works around not being able to have the username and password of their customer's account. Vendor policy and process problems that become the reseller's problem, and their challenges. Managing SaaS customer access as a reseller. SaaS reselling wish list - if you own a SaaS business, this will be invaluable information to make your product more attractive to resellers.
