OREANDA-NEWS. July 21, 2015.  We’re already in the middle of 2015 and can’t believe how fast the time has flown by. A lot of of great things have happened, been built and achieved in this first half of the year; here at RelateIQ we value #people, #moments, #ideas, and #results, so I wanted to take the time to highlight each them in our beautiful, newly designed blog.

#People

Last June, we were about a 60-person team here at RelateIQ. Since then, we’ve doubled our size, adding on incredible talent on all fronts of the company and we continue to grow the team. Just this month, we’ve added 16 new teammates and had our largest onboarding class ever!

#Moments

We make sure to celebrate all the wins that we achieve as a team and to enjoy the journey. Here are my top 5 moments so far in 2015:

  1. Q1 Results - It was an amazing team effort to blow out our plan
  2. Tempo.AI acquisition - An incredible team that built a beautiful and intelligent app
  3. Team Disneyland trip - Spending time with our amazing team and bringing my oldest son, Lucas
  4. Reporting Release - Seeing the new reporting that nails the automatic and intelligent design principles we are driving towards
  5. Monday Meeting Excitement - I love every Monday at 10:15 when we look at how we’ve done and where we are going. 196 weeks straight and going strong. The energy in 2015 has been inspiring.

#Ideas

As we continue to build products that people love, it never ceases to amaze me how creative our team is in building solutions to the technology pain points of today’s business professionals. For example, one of our latest features,Insert Free Time, on the RelateIQ Chrome extension was born out of our last Hack-day session in November to solve the problems of scheduling meeting times. Anybody who's ever tried scheduling a meeting knows there’s a lot of email back and forth to agree on a time—and that’s just for one meeting. So how do we improve the efficiency of scheduling for the busy professional?

Two of our engineers, Megan and Keven, were really interested in this problem, and set out to build a solution for this problem. In two days, they were able to build out a working prototype. In April, Keven demo’ed the next version of Insert Free Time during our Friday Demos, and it was met with great excitement by the team, yelling “Ship it! Ship it!” Just two weeks ago, we were able to roll out this new feature to 100% of our users.

It’s inspiring to see how these great ideas transform into real…

#Results

In addition to the Free Time insert on our Chrome Extension, we’re super excited about the recent release of new features on our mobile apps. We’ve really simplified the experience of our mobile apps to have the same intuitiveness as any mobile email client/app, but supercharged with greatfeatures to boost user productivity. With our latest apps update, RelateIQ has become the only CRM that puts your CRM data directly in your mobile inbox, when you actually need it.

What’s Ahead for RelateIQ?

We continue to work on making RelateIQ the #1 CRM for growing businesses and teams, and there’s a lot more progress and exciting milestones that we’re looking to achieve as we move towards Dreamforce. I can’t wait for Dreamforce 2015 to have a moment to share our progress with the world.
