It was fantastic to host our partners @MySafeSociety and show them some East Coast Hospitality @DowntownHalifax! We finished off a great day of team-building and sightseeing with delicious oysters at the wonderful @WWHalifax. We are always proud to showcase our beautiful city.

A9: The most important resource for any founder is a copy of the Art of War. The strategy of attacking, defending your position or picking the right time/place for conflict (if it even occurs at all) can be applied to many business scenarios. #SunTzuSays #SaaSChats #BellLetsTalk

[Dispension Industries @DispensionInc]

A8: Wouldn’t change much. Dispension was well-positioned for COVID by supplying low contact, low interaction automated kiosks. Our kiosks (1) reduce face-to-face contact (2) provide a contactless customer experience, and (3) protect frontline workers. #SaaSChats #BellLetsTalk

[Dispension Industries @DispensionInc]

A7: We are all customers, and in the age of COVID, desire low touch products. It’s critical that startups engage as many people as possible on beta testing the user experience. You can never have enough feedback when it comes to rolling out new products. #SaaSChats #BellLetsTalk

[Dispension Industries @DispensionInc]

A6: We are building trust by deploying secure automated kiosks equipped with advanced biometrics for restricted products to solve real societal problems. Our kiosks are well-suited for reduced face-to-face interactions while protecting frontline workers. #SaaSChats #BellLetsTalk

[Dispension Industries @DispensionInc]

A5: When it comes to retaining customers, companies that truly strive to delight their customers will stand the test of time. By delivering on your word and providing great customer service, the customer relationship will be strong and understanding. #SaaSChats #BellLetsTalk

[Dispension Industries @DispensionInc]

A4: Knowing when to pivot is another instinct thing. Founders need a team with different perspectives to help with pros and cons of each direction. For big moves, make decisions using the best information available, and the consensus of people you trust. #SaaSChats #BellLetsTalk

[Dispension Industries @DispensionInc]

A3: Great ideas come naturally, but knowing when to run with them is a bit of a (pseudo) science. It all comes down to calculated risk and trusting your intuition. As a Founder, your intuition is your superpower. #TrustYourGut #SaaSChats #BellLetsTalk

[Dispension Industries @DispensionInc]

A2: The value of innovation can be defined as the ability to create something that improves or changes the way we do things. Great ideas spur innovation, but Founders need to be self-motivated, and able to execute. No shortage of great ideas over here! #SaaSChats #BellLetsTalk

[Dispension Industries @DispensionInc]

A1: Good partners hold each other accountable. Point them to the light by clearly defining problems that can be solved / processes that can be improved, and stressing the urgency and benefits of doing it NOW. For change, there’s no time like the present. #SaaSChats #BellLetsTalk
