Question of the week: Your Business Robot

[JoeSorge]

If you could have a business robot of your very own, what would you have it do for you?

Can't wait for your responses to this one. I really think they're going to reveal something common in all of us.

And don’t forget that we also discuss the point further, often including your responses, Tuesdays on Kitchen Table Talks on The Pulse Network: http://bit.ly/tpnktt

If I could have my very own robot I would have them help me manage my time by helping out with my to do list .. I have so many projects that I am working on and have great lists of what all needs to be done but because I am out and about with customers and prospects alot during the day I don't get alot of the time on my list done. So if I had a robot I would hand off the admin and behind the scenes things on my to do list.

Like Katie I need someone to help carry the ideas through to execution so I can keep working with customers. We are slowly but surely adding the people to make that happen and the first one is officially on board in about 1 hour :) I spend too much time on accounting and admin tasks like booking all my own travel. This keeps me from getting newsletters and other content out as often as I'd like. Content that i know generates sales. So, the goal is people (not robots) to take care of the admin and the marketing tasks that just seem to get done in my spare time on weekends and evenings.

Can't wait to discuss this on the show over at The Pulse today. Have a great guest too :)

I'd personally love a robot who did all of the boring bookkeeping and admin duties, as well as magically debug code so I can keep my focus on our customers and making new stuff. That would totally make my year.

Here's the discussion continued at Kitchen Table Talks on The Pulse Yesterday.

If you'd like to fast forward to the Q & A, go right to 15:30

I would have it shake down people that owe me money. It would be two robots: Moose and Rocco.

[JoeSorge]

I'm guessing that Moose and Rocco would be brothers as well :)
