The week-long program educated us on all elements of the Google Cloud Platform. The course focused on Application and Infrastructure Modernisation, Data and Analytics, and Machine Learning. Find Me Sales is built in a modern and scalable way, but the techniques we learned on Google Cloud Orbit enable us to scale globally into new territories while maintaining high quality availability. We will also be using machine learning in future Find Me Sales services.","type":"unstyled","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[],"entityRanges":[],"data":{}},{"key":"3cnsr","text":"","type":"header-two","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[],"entityRanges":[],"data":{}},{"key":"6m379","text":" ","type":"atomic","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[],"entityRanges":[{"offset":0,"length":1,"key":1}],"data":{}},{"key":"1r0ht","text":"","type":"unstyled","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[],"entityRanges":[],"data":{}},{"key":"6qpjo","text":"Innovate UK Edge Pitch Day","type":"header-two","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[],"entityRanges":[],"data":{}},{"key":"a891b","text":"We finished the Innovate UK Edge Program with a bang, pitching Find Me Sales to a panel of Growth Advisors who had run the course. The pitch let us run through the pitch deck and financial forecasts that we built during the 2 month long program. We were completely blown away by the positive feedback from the panel and are hugely thankful for all the time that they spent with Find Me Sales on the program. The business is now in great shape to complete on the ambitious growth targets that we’ve set with the help of Innovate UK.","type":"unstyled","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[],"entityRanges":[],"data":{}},{"key":"5dcgt","text":"","type":"header-two","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[],"entityRanges":[],"data":{}},{"key":"5ro51","text":"Export Academy","type":"header-two","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[],"entityRanges":[],"data":{}},{"key":"1tujl","text":"As Find Me Sales grows we’re getting more requests from customers outside of the United Kingdom, where we are based.

This month has seen extensive development of the different pages that are associated with Campaigns and we are on track to launch the feature in the next month or so. We can’t say too much about it but we’re confident that the Campaigns feature will be a game changer in finding you sales. Finally, we just found out that we’ve been accepted onto another accelerator that starts in April. We’re not allowed to say before the announcement but we’re very excited to share more with you soon.
