Numbers drive Data Drive! 🔢

But did you know that only about 20% of your leads will actually become sales-ready? 🤔

That's why you need to nurture your leads for a better outcome.
Now wondering what lead nurturing is?

Well, lead nurturing is known as engaging with your target market, learning about their needs, and qualifying them for the sales process. This is the step in lead management that immediately follows lead generation.

Building trust with prospective clients while avoiding being overly pushy should be the goal of lead nurturing. It reduces the sales cycle and enables you to make stronger connections with prospects.

Raise your hand if you've experienced it at least once or were close to burnout. 😬

You're not alone. Many people are exhausted from juggling a job, family, and other responsibilities without proper assistance as a result of the pandemic.
And even if it isn't a medical diagnosis, burnout can affect your physical and mental health 🤷‍♂️

Some, especially younger workers, are simply quitting. But for those who can't or don't want to leave, there are ways to beat burnout💡

Write down in a comment your tip to fight burnout or to face it without severe consequences.

Sharing is caring 🫶

We overlapped the advice for couples and the job-related ones, and we concluded that they are basically the same.

So let’s speak this Valentine's Day about the job that we love, cause come on, we spend half of our time at work, so better make it nice!

🫶 Be clear about your role. Set yourself up for success by creating a to-do list to help you plan your day.

🫶 Work smart. Familiarize yourself with all necessary HR policies and procedures, follow your company code of conduct, and adhere to safe work practices.

🫶 Keep a positive attitude. Look for ways to play your part in creating a positive environment within your team. Contribute ideas, trust your colleagues, avoid gossip, and stay optimistic in your conversations.

🫶 Make the most of the opportunities. Sign up for training programs that will help you grow and develop both your personal and professional skills. Don’t hesitate to participate in company events as well.

🫶 Build a supportive network. It would be great to find a person in your team who you can rely on in difficult moments, and at the same time find a mentor to support you and give the right advice.

We want to summarize all the above with a quote we couldn't agree with more: “Find a job you enjoy doing, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” ― Mark Twain.

The best way to foresee the future is to create it. So if you want to make the future in IT, this year, you should learn about the top 3 IT trends for 2023.

1. The Metaverse market is growing

The metaverse is a virtual universe that allows individuals to interact in three dimensions within shared spaces. It is a sort of Internet of the future, where people no longer surf online in two dimensions via browsers but in 3D, using avatars and virtual reality headsets.
The Metaverse is an intersection of 3D virtual worlds, facilitating 3D immersive experiences through VR (Virtual Reality) and AR (Augmented Reality).

2. Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity is expected to be next year's most significant driver of business IT spending.
As cyber-attacks become more prevalent and costly, spending on cybersecurity has become necessary in all market conditions.
IT decision-makers consider improved cybersecurity posture as the top metric for proving the value of tech investments to business management.

3. Automation and AI

Automation and AI are becoming necessary to manage remote work and cyberattacks, which have risen in the past two years.
For IT operations teams, AIOps tools add machine learning, big data analytics, and other AI capabilities to IT workflows. Likewise, automation tools and self-service DevOps portals help IT ops and development teams quickly deploy reliable, standardized applications.

Find the trend you resonate with the most and go for it!

Digital marketing is constantly evolving, and a well-informed marketing strategy is a driving force behind building a successful business. What consumers want, need, and expect from brands today looks far from what it did five years ago.

Data Drive is here to help you remain on top of things! 🤗

Let’s review some popular digital marketing trends for 2023 and how your business can capitalize on them.

🔹 Increase video and Lifestreaming Usage
🔹 Return to In-Person Events
🔹 Interactive Marketing
🔹 Artificial Intelligence Tools
🔹 Conversational Marketing: Chatbots are getting better
🔹 Podcasting
🔹 Greater Focus on Customer Experience

As you can see, 2023 marketing trends aren’t just about knowing what your audience wants. But using all the tools and data to create highly personalized experiences for each customer will help you stay focused on putting your audience first. It will simply give you a smooth-sailing road next year. 😉

is not linear, it’s multi-dimensional.
Growth does not follow a straight line, but rather a spiral through space-time.

What makes the difference between two developers with the same hard skills? Soft skills, of course! 👨‍💻

There was no distinction between hard and soft skills for a long time — they were just skills. The term first appeared in the late 1960s as the ability to communicate, motivate and adapt - in contrast to the more tangible technical skills.

Soft skills are usually overlooked in the software development profession because the relationship between software development activities and soft skills is difficult to investigate.
The soft skills that will represent an advantage when hiring a software developer are:

🔘 communication skills;
🔘 interpersonal skills;
🔘 analytical and problem-solving skills;
🔘 organizational skills;
🔘 ability to work both independently and in a team.

What are your strengths as an IT software developer?

Christmas is a season of enjoying the simple things that make life beautiful. May you have great memories that will permanently touch your heart.

Echipa Data Drive își exprimă toată admirația față de talentatele sportive din țara noastră, care au reușit să aducă faimă țării obținând titluri supreme la Campionatul Mondial de lupte din Belgrad.
Este vorba de Anastasia Nichita - Multiplă Campioană Europeană, Dublă Campioană Mondială și Campioana Cupei Mondiale.
Irina Rîngaci - Multiplă Campioană Europeană și Dublă Campioană Mondială.
Și Tudor Cîrlan - Maestru al Sportului al URSS și Antrenor Emerit al Republicii Moldova.

🎨 Straddling the line between red and blue, partly ultraviolet, partly infrared, it doesn’t exist on the spectrum … but it somehow encapsulates the whole range of colors that we can see – and also some that we can’t.

It is – to quote its creators – “brave, fearless, and pulsating.” It is Viva Magenta, Pantone’s color of 2023.

Viva Magenta is a bold and pulsating color whose exuberance promotes a joyous and optimistic celebration, writing a new narrative.

Viva Magenta is powerful and empowering. It is a new animated red that revels in pure joy, encouraging experimentation and self-expression without restraint.

🎨 And even if it is 150 years old, the color is still future-facing, digital, and primordial. Viva Magenta!

We’ve all been stuck in a bad meeting where the person in charge started 10 minutes late, the plan was unclear, and nothing decided in the end. But there are better ways. 😏

1. Don’t be the person who sets a meeting for something that could’ve been an email.
2. Follow these tips and strategies to run your meeting effectively.

And if you choose NR.2, it would be better to take a screenshot.

* Set the agenda. The agenda provides a compass for the conversation, so the meeting can get back on track if the discussion wanders off course.

* Start on time. End on time. When establishing the informal rules of an organization, employees take their cues from the person in the corner office.

* End with an Action Plan. Leave the last few minutes of every meeting to discuss the next steps.

Save the post and share it with others; these tips can work for anyone, regardless of title. 😉

Since the pandemic, a new phenomenon has burst onto the work scene – quiet quitting.
Quiet quitting is when an employee stops going above and beyond what is written in their job description. It is about setting boundaries for yourself at work and enforcing them by denying the notion that people should burn themselves out in the name of work.

Fundamentally, this comes down to work-life balance, which is about ensuring employees feel fulfilled and content in all areas of their life: work-life balance, work-life fit, work-life blend, and work-life harmony.

This can be achieved through the following:

☑ Flexible and remote working opportunities
☑ Focusing on productivity and performance over time
☑ Encouraging regular breaks and annual leaves
☑ Better task management
☑ Leading by example
☑ Providing support concerning well-being, mental health, finances, child care, etc.
☑ Having clear communication policies and processes.

The point is - employers' approach is a key to re-engaging employees. They should empower employees to uphold their boundaries, strike a healthy work-life balance for them, and work within a framework that supports the core goals and vision of the business.

Critical thinking is the process of solving problems through rational means and evidence-based knowledge. A team that employs critical thinking when challenges arise is a team that solves problems, finds solutions, and works together cohesively.

An employee's ability to think critically doesn't benefit only the employer; it benefits the employee as well.
These benefits include:
- Finding multiple solutions to problems;
- Effective communication between teams and individual employees;
- Developing unique perspectives on situations and challenges at work.

Critical thinking is a lifetime skill that people can use in every area of their lives, including interpersonal relationships, financial planning, personal goal-setting, and career decisions.

Be afraid of the dark because you never know what dwells in it. And don’t listen to the whispers in your ear 🎃👻

Data Drive wishes you a Halloween full of haunted and spooky encounters!

Companies must hire and develop more effective managers and leaders capable of moving their organization forward during both good and challenging times. That requires looking beyond traditional strategies for management development and cultivating the skills most important for success.

One of those skills is empathy — a vital leadership competency.

Empathetic leadership means having the ability to understand the needs of others, and being aware of their feelings and thoughts.
An empathetic leader will always:

✔ Improve communication;
✔ Come up with innovative solutions;
✔ Increase teamwork;
✔ Reduce conflict and stress;
✔ Stimulate greater employee engagement and trust.

Keep following us for more tips that will make your business thrive! 😉

Scientists say that a good office window view improves well-being at work. We’re lucky. Aren’t we? :)

It sometimes may be demanding to keep employees motivated to meet today’s goals and to be ready for tomorrow’s challenges. 😬

2. Provide consistent performance feedback, it will increase motivation.
3. Focus on development opportunities, they influence whether employees stay in a job or not.

Follow these strategies and your company will thrive as it has never done before! 🙌

When seeking employment, an interview with the hiring manager is often required. The job interview is a great way for companies to assess if you’re qualified for the position you’re applying for.

In this post, we’ll discuss what questions to expect in a common Interview for a Software Developer. These will help you to be best prepared. 😉

Data, data, data – we hear so much about it, but do we understand the importance of data collection?

Data is a collection of different facts, including numbers, measurements, and observations, that have been translated into a form that computers can process.

This might sound easy, but data is effectively changing the world we live in and the way that we work.

Here is a breakdown to explain the importance of data collection:

▪ Data empowers you to make informed decisions, because data equals knowledge.
▪ Data helps you identify and solve problems.
▪ Data will back up your arguments, and you’ll be in a much better decision to push your ideas forward.
▪ Data makes your approach strategic. Solid field data collection and analysis means that you’ll always to able to put your scarce resources where they are needed most.
▪ Data saves your time. A smart system will gather and display data in a way that is easy to access and navigate, meaning everyone who is part of your organization will save time.
▪ Data improves the quality of life. Access to good data helps improve the quality of life both for those working in your organization and for the people you support.

Organizational culture and employee engagement go hand-in-hand. The strength of your corporate culture determines how successful you are as an organization. It is the foundation on which your employees will stand for the entire time they work for the company.

A structured, transparent, and progressive work culture will help improve employee engagement and, as a result, improve employee performance levels too.
So, if you want to build a high-performing workforce, the first thing employers should invest in is improving their workplace culture.

Changing organizational culture and employee engagement strategies is not an easy feat. However, it is definitely worth the investment! 😉

Dear colleagues!

We sincerely congratulate you on your professional holiday - Programmer's Day! On behalf of our friendly team sincerely wish you the best coding.

You are awesome! 🤩
