If you are not reading all of this, please at least skim the nice graphics that took me forever to make.
Modern networks are not built via LinkedIn Connections. My email address is being bought and sold for pennies on the dollar. Between InMail and cold outreach, I receive constant stream of offers for "lead generation" or "SEO." Both of these platforms are practically unusable.
Everyone is accessing this data, lowering the quality and cost of outreach, and ultimately AI is going to kill the value of cold outreach.
Relationships are built in smaller, private channels. They are moving from the public square to the living room.
Now, relationships are developed and fostered within the trenches of Telegram group chats, Reply Guy X accounts, and a constant barrage of messages across every channel.
However, there is so much focus on replying to everything that is becomes easy to neglect the value of the connections being made.
The relationship layer of the internet.
Still completely prioritizing privacy, self-sovereignty, and never making a penny on any of our users.
(We've recently updated our website to include more info on this. TL;DR - we want to be a data pipeline that assembles your data for you. Presenting unique insights for you to take action on. That is the service that we expect to generate revenue with and never plan on making money with your data. 3Sum nor any outside party will ever access that data nor ever sell that data.)
3Sum has surpassed 3RM in every usage metric in just the 4 months since it's inception. We couldn't be more excited about the opportunity and here is what we are working on in the next couple of weeks as we continue to strive to achieve our goals:
Honestly, if we had a mission statement, this would be it.
There is no reason in the year of Two-Thousand-and-Twenty-Five that you should be updating tables or moving things in a kanban board.
It should not be more work to update a CRM than it is to just reply.
The other two objectives (Build A Network & Enable Connection), I covered a bit above but if you can read that small font in the image for more info if you'd like.
We believe that the first step of completing these goals is to deeply invest into building a powerful analytics platform.
Starting with the basics, we are adding things like:
If you have something that you want to track or gain insight into, I am all ears! Just reply here or send me a DM on Telegram :)
As we continue to invest in analytics and insights, we want to utilize these insights in order to prioritize your connections, automate data entry, and provide custom insights into relationship data across your channels.
Starting soon with Telegram, you will be able to view all of the participants within your chats, bios, phone numbers, usernames, and associated chats. We are working on our scoring intelligence now and aim to be able to connect these insights with other channels like Twitter/X, Calendar, and Email!
Our Google Calendar Integration has been my personal favorite feature. In addition to receiving summaries of my meetings, they are now attached to Telegram chats.
I know where to follow up, what the next action item is, and most importantly I can now connect email address of meeting participants with Telegram handles of group chats members to get a complete view of my contacts.
Publicly available soon!
3sum is also working to support the vast number of relationships that our users have.
Batch messaging was one of the most-used 3RM features and we are bringing it back with major improvements.
Right now, if you are a group admin, you can DM all participants in a group.
Next, automating follow-ups.
Finally, creating sequencing/blasts for chats tagged.
If you are looking to utilize our batch messaging feature, please reach out to me here or on Telegram.
Last month, we launched both of these integrations with early users and saw room for tremendous improvements. Soon, integrations will be publicly available with pre-built workflows that can be toggled on instantly.
Increasing activity and connection to other channels greatly creates more value in being able to share these insights with others.
We are prioritizing the ability to connect 3Sum to Hubspot/Slack/Notion to be autonomously updated
Choose the frequency of updates, AI Analysis will be completed on all activity of outlined chats, and then send that to any tool for your team to see.
No longer needing to rely on notes or actions, you can now receive summaries of entire relationships.
If you would like to hav ea custom workflow built for you or your team, please don't hesitate to reach out!
In addition to these channels, we really believe in the importance of having all of this work connect with each other and compound the results.
Notes have always been the foundation of relationship management. However, they can often deliver little value over time. Assets depreciate, dynamics change, and life moves on.
In improving our understanding of understanding context, we want to build a quicker way of interconnecting your relationships across previously fragmented channels.
We believe we can make this a seamless experience with a tremendous amount of upside to better understanding your network.
All of these new improvements are great but we want to continue our investment into the key differentiators of our platform.
Continuing to improve our AI Analysis by creating larger time frames, more workflows, and better insights. If there is anything else you can think of, please don't hesitate to ask!
In addition to building more integrations into tools that allow you to exist where you need. Currently working on supporting Linear, Twitter/X, and Sheets!
At the core, this is the platform that will be the foundation of our all of our ambitions and we want to commit to making it as great as it can possibly be.
And that should about wrap it!!
There is so much we are excited about and we are working with some incredible teams in building these features and workflows together.
If you are interested in learning more or supporting our vision, please don't hesitate to reach out!
It would be an honor to connect more on how you build your network, what we can do to create a meaningful product for you, or if you would like to test run our premium features.
You can reach me here via email at jackson@3rm.co or on Telegram at jackson@3rm.co!
Once again, appreciate all of the support and hope to connect with more of you soon!!!
