London Calling
'Allo 'Allo ๐๐ผ
If youโre joining an episode of Startup Life for the first time, then grab yourself a cuppa and please mind the gap โ๏ธ
In this episode the cobwebs were dusted off the red double decker bus in the garage and we hit the frog and toad ๐ธ
For yet another stop on the Surfly Grand Tour ๐
Together with the trusted companions Thomas (Clarkson) and Freek (May), the three amigos put on our best attire and set off from Amsterdam to a galaxy not so far, far away ๐
In fact, itโs a city! That:
speaks over 300 languages ๐ฃ
is home to the smallest statue in the world ๐ฝ
has the most billionaires on earth ๐ฐ
has more Indian restaurants than Mumbai ๐ฎ๐ณ
whose name derives from being BOLD ๐ฃ
Any guesses? Why it was back to my good ol' stomping ground, the Big Smoke AKA London Town ๐ฌ๐ง
Having been to the Call & Contact Centre Expo several times in the past, I have always met so many interesting people and it's always a blast ๐ฅ
So this year, we decided to invest some bees and honey and be an official sponsor ๐
When not in the rubbity-dub, the three amigos have been hard at work choreographing our best moves to show off at our Booth CC-I65 ๐ฏโโ๏ธ
65% of us are visual thinkers, thereโs a rise in preference for visual channels, the dog and bone is yesteryear and empowering super agents to solve complex problems has never been more important ๐ฆธ๐ปโโ๏ธ
Renowned analysts, Frost & Sullivan have recognised Surfly as a Leader in Visual Engagement and you can download your free report (worth over ยฃ2,100) here ๐
We had lots of good ol' fashioned in-person chit-chats and turkish baths ๐
And gave away a tonne of cool swag and of course tasty Dutch stroopwafels ๐ช
We treated our partner RingCentral to a fun evening at the Sports Bar & Grill at Canary Wharf to watch Australia vs France in the World Cup ๐ป
The next evening, we even randomly bumped into my old Apigee (now Google) crew and some other friends at Goldwood Pub at Bank โค๏ธ
Speaking of visual, hereโs how it went down ๐
BONUS: Hereโs London Calling from one of my favourite bands, the British punk rock crew from the 70โs that went by the name of The Clash ๐ธ
