I can't tell what's worse, offering a discount code or asking rejected applicants for social media follows. The last thing I would want after getting rejected from a job is being reminded of the failure every time I logged onto Instagram.

That's hilarious, though in a very dark way. Imagine having so little self-awareness that you think this is a good idea. I would have paid to watch the meeting where this was proposed and people sitting around a very expensive table nodded their heads and thought they'd hit upon something wonderful.

Lol so so tacky. Wonder who came up with this idea? While I get the intent of making the experience feel a little better, it's soo off. Most people probably just want feedback, not a coupon. Definitely not the marketing move I’d expect from a company trying to build rapport!

Hi everyone! In your experience, what is the one tool / must-have / methodology any of your companies use to bring about a cohesive and comprehensive go-to-market strategy in the launch of new products and services? As a company scales, coordinating cross-functionally and across time zones is becoming increasingly challenging so we have identified that we need frameworks or tools to help us go-to-market in a less clumsy, more coordinated fashion. Would love to get your ideas on this.
