You're listening to the Happy Market Research Podcast. The next set of episodes are conversations I had at this year's Corporate Researchers Conference or CRC. This is put on by the Insights Association in Orlando, Florida. I had quite a few interesting conversations highlighting specific companies that exhibited this year as well as a couple of speakers, Wells Fargo, IBM, etc. I hope you have a really good rest of your day and enjoy these short episodes. [00:32] Hi, this is Jamin. You are listening to Happy Market Research Podcast. My guest today is Jonathan Ephraim, IntelliSurvey founder, co-founder, excuse me, right? [00:40]Yes, that’s correct. [00:41]Longtime competitor and friend. Sir, thanks for being on Happy Market Research Podcast. [00:46]Thank you for having me. [00:48]So we are on the show. They're getting ready to release the hounds. We're by the food. We may be eaten alive. Hopefully, they don't mistake us for chicken legs. How are you doing? [00:58]Oh, I'm doing very well, thanks. I'm doing very well. This is a one of our first conferences. It's the first conference like this that we've presented at, and we have a display. So it's been fun to see people. We ordinarily are sitting in the background, and it's nice to be in front.[01:13]So, IntelliSurvey, this is my perception, not necessarily reality, but IntelliSurvey from a brand perspective is these really intelligent people that have built this great software and service. Probably the thing that has always stood out to me, and Jamie and I used to lament our org structure is that you guys built your platform instead of having like full-time employees to program all the surveys, you actually created a network of people that were able to use your platform. Is that accurate? [01:51]No, it's funny after all these years… [01:55]Well, wait the smart people is accurate, but the network part isn't. I love… [2:00]Yeah, the network part isn't. Yeah, what we did that was, I think quite different from others was, obviously, we separated out development from project management, but we didn't separate out project management from programming. We always thought of that as them as being one function that there was a project manager who was a programmer. And one of the things that we did quite differently was we hired people who were more liberal arts-ish. When I say liberal arts-ish, I mean that not necessarily they were…[02:32]like linguistic type framework or… [02:35]Well, just people who were creative and good with words and good with problems. And those were the people that, I think, in many other platforms are the project managers, who are then interfacing with someone who's a little more engineeringy, who's like actually doing the stuff. [02:52]So you have one in the same. So then you trained those people on how to use your platform. [02:57]That's correct. That's correct. And we built a programming language that basically is very close to plain English that people can then just affix what amounts to a programming attribute using basically something very close to plain English.
