No-code/automation agency owners: Have you used lead acquisition or outsourced client booking services? Share your experiences—the good, the bad, and the ugly! #nocode #automation #agencylife

Exactly a month ago, my friend Philip Lakin sold his startup to Zapier, and it was a big win for the no-code community 🏆 Today, I am excited to release our chat on The Undefeated Underdogs Podcast. Phil also gave us a sneak peek of what he plans to do as Head of Enterprise Innovation at Zapier!

First official day at @Zapier tomrrow, and it’s bringing back major 1st day of school vibes: 🍂 Fall weather ✅ 👕 1st day outfit picked out ✅ 💈 Fresh haircut ✅ 💻 New School Supplies ✅ 🫣 Nervous, yet excited, to adventure into uncharted territory with some old friends while

Y’all. It was a REALLY good first day at @Zapier. The people at this company are next level and I’m already inspired by seeing how they collaborate, communicate, and celebrate 100% remote. I’m wiped and grateful. Now it’s time to start delivering for y’all.

The cat’s out of the bag! I’m excited to host the first Zappy Awards! 🎉 Founding @NoCodeOps (now part of Zapier) was all about spotlighting the amazing operators behind the scenes. Presenting these awards is a true full-circle moment. See you on September 26th!

💥Congrats on securing the headcount/budget for marketing & sales automations! Scaling up brings challenges like documentation, error resolution, IT interfacing, & onboarding. Join Philip Lakin, Head of Enterprise Innovation @Zapier, for insights 🧭 on navigating these hurdles.

The hardest part of starting a community is sticking with it after it hits you that it's WAY MORE work than just getting the right people together and hoping the engagement will take care of itself.

Slack needs an FYP.

Zapier has been somewhat quietly shipping one of the most advanced and and actually used AI products on the market. We've been working with them since Braintrust's inception and I've been in awe at the world class evals and observability flywheel they've developed.

Every Slack channel for a big #NoCode project has a secret DM group. If you don’t know about it, sorry to say… you’re not in it 🫣

GTM and RevOps teams are still hesitant about #NoCode tools—and I get it. Blank canvases with endless upkeep? No thanks. Rigid SaaS? Just as bad. At @Zapier, we’re creating a future that’s both flexible & low-maintenance. In GTM/Rev Ops & want to shape the future? DM me :)

Business systems & GTM/RevOps builders often clash—one wants structure, the other flexibility. But with smarter tools, these roles are merging. Soon, ops will handle building & maintaining, with AI managing governance. The future? Unified, flexible, & efficient.

Amen. Amen. Amen.

Omg the Kid #1 reference lives in. So good jamming with you IRL today!!! #NoCodeBuds
