Sales Executive
Dealing with clients who have unrealistic expectations. They often want to see properties that are way outside their budget or have a list of demands that are difficult to meet in their desired area. It can be challenging to manage their expectations while still trying to find solutions that make them happy. Sometimes, despite all my efforts, clients end up disappointed, which can be really disheartening. It feels like I'm constantly balancing their dreams with the reality of the market.
Taylor Sekyi
Manager
The biggest pain point we see today is the silos in supporting health care as a whole. Each department in a single health system can be so disparate from the other that it makes supporting the continuum of care more difficult than it should be. It also makes the support of each department from a technology department even more difficult.
Adam
Accountant
My biggest issue is that I rely on clients providing me with their tax paperwork in order to prepare their returns. They often procrastinate or have trouble locating the documents resulting in a backlog of returns that need to be prepared last minute before the due date.
Paul
Administrator Healthcare
The biggest problem we have at our Home Healthcare company is that our marketing strategies to increase our patient census with those who have Medicare Part A & B is aggravating. The refferral programs that hospitals partake in only favor those who show them extra attention by sending over food or doctors that only want certain companies because they have personal relations to them outside of work. Our problem is that we are not getting enough publicity from hospitals and other healthcare organizations to refer their patients to us.
Arnel
Small Business Owner
Although I am in agriculture (specifically, horticulture), I am an e-commerce business until I have the capital to open a brick-and-mortar store. Having an online store is expensive. It shouldn't be but it is. For instance, look at Shopify and its prices. I am lucky and I know IT (was in IT in my career before I started this new business) so I could go the DIY route. But it's expensive. To get capital to begin a business, especially an online business, is hard. It's very hard to get a small business loan if you have no revenue to show. It is the same thing for grants. You have to show revenue in order to qualify for grants as well. So for a small business to begin, you either have to have your own working capital or you have to be in business for a year and show revenue. There are very few resources for new small businesses that want to begin.
Erica Ferdinand
Contractor
Daily we face other companies competing with better and more advanced technology. I wish I could afford to have the updated technologies.
Vassili Volkov
CTO
Finding talented and capable employees to hire. In my case it's looking for programmers. The solutions that exist in the marketplace are crude blunt tools that are gamed by terrible tech "body shops" in 3rd world countries that push barely-capable people upon us and take the majority of their pay. While there are solutions like Indeed out there that try to disintermediate them, those platforms have been overrun by these soul-sucking people as well.
Chris Yerga
Sourcing is the biggest issue I have. Finding a consistent, reliable product at a reasonable price that SELLS. Doing all the research on selling prices and available product to acquire takes up too much time.
John
Owner
Customers spending days asking questions and making offer to then only ghost me once i agree to their terms
Jonathon
Project Manager
Latest windows update caused all kinds of problems. It was a pain to correct the issues
Juan
E-Commerce Store Owner
I have to use so many different platforms both in design and in creating my listings.
Nicole
Freelance Writer
I feel as though I cannot get my business past it's infancy stage. I feel as though I am still catering to customers that are beneath the value of my writing, but I can't get anyone else to buy from my shop.
Dayna
Director, Reporting
I need the ability to find a work flow tool that’s open source and allows for significant customization for reporting and workflow. Our current workflow tool has too many roadblocks to achieving a high level of insight.
Andy Bartlett
I wish that automation of simple mundane tasks were built-in. When you get a software application it is already automated
Sandrea McCrea
CEO & Founder
I've been in business almost twelve years, and in that time, the amount of things I do has grown a lot. I now find myself scrambling every day to try and do everything, which as we know, doesn't quite work. I keep trying to come up with an effective solution, but I can't come up with anything. It's really my social media that's the issue. Trying to post everywhere everyday is getting to be impossible.
Patricia
graphic design
Keeping track of different versions of designs and organizing files efficiently can consume a lot of time. Improved file management solutions could simplify this process.
Claude nii
The need for marketing when you are a photographer is less than ideal. As a photographer, you have a creative mind and spend all of your physical and mental energy creating a product. Having to then sell yourself and get eyeballs on your product takes precious space away from the creative process.
Marisa
I am a small business with a small budget and I find it hard to find clients who are willing to put their faith in me because I am not high-end
Nicole Desjardins
Director of Educational Technology Services
I'm sorry I didn't get to use AI technology sooner. This is now the elephant in the room and so many of my colleagues are adamant about using the tools.
Roya
Controller
I currently work as an accounting controller for a constriction company. The largest issue that I have is other departments do not understand the importance of a tight and consistent cash flow. In construction, there are many parts that must be completed and submitted in specific ways. Often, we are unable to be paid due to someone else's job not being completed.
Matthew
LLM engineer
Some of the projects I work on have extremely complicated instructions but do not explain certain aspects of the project well.
L
Inventory control, numbering, processing, and storage facility costs.
T
VP of Client Support
While our app provides manual, self-service password reset options, password requests continue to make up +- 10% of support requests. What are ways you have reduced or eliminated these types of requests from your support queue?
Jon Jackson
Director of PPC
I would like a platform that could summarize and organize notes from all of the different client calls we have, that I could reference for information whenever I need it. Currently no platform is able to do all of the above: individual platforms address individual issues within this scenario (ex. one platform takes notes automatically during a call, another acts as a document repository, etc). A unified platform that can do all of the above, with an included LLM that has access and memory of all of the different conversations, deliverables, etc would be a truly powerful asset.
Ian Richard
IT Manager
I think one issue is we need to listen. I have lots of coworkers who are fast and hard working. The owchie I have is when we all have different ideas and there is 0 compromise. We need to learn to listen to each other for once instead of only talking.
Reno
Sales
Setting up a route for sales. We make a post and people inbox what they want with the amount (example 12 years of corn and one medium roast whole bean coffee). I have all these orders and all of these addresses but not an efficient way to deliver all of them.
Marty
CFO
The biggest pain point is making sure we have correct insurance information and verify that so we have all the needed approvals and know how much to collect from the patient.
Jason
Creative Director
I’m expected to do hands on design and development but some days I spend so much time on Slack, on PR reviews, and meetings that it takes a very long time to do the simplest jobs. It can be frustrating giving status reports on projects that barely move along.
