15 Inbound Sales Statistics That Will Help Your Team Sell BetterTSL Marketing
Ā
This document provides 15 statistics about inbound sales and how social media can help sales teams improve their success rates. Some key points include:
- Cold calling has a very low 2.5% success rate, while 78% of salespeople using social media perform better than their peers.
- 62% of salespeople who don't use social media miss their quotas, while 64% of teams using social media do reach their quotas.
- Over half of the buying process is completed before a company can interact with customers, so social media allows sales teams to engage earlier in the process.
A Web for Everyone: Accessibility as a design challengeWhitney Quesenbery
Ā
Let's get past the idea that checklists and compliance all there is to accessibility. Designing for accessibility is a user experience design problem, starting with understanding how people with disabilities use your products. If we aim to design for all senses we can focus on easy interaction, helpful wayfinding, clean presentation, plain language and media instead of "rules." Doing so, we can create a web for everyone and a delightful user experience where accessibility and usability work together.

The focus is on maintaining continuity, optimising performance, and safeguarding the business's essential data throughout the migration process
Elasticity vs. State? Exploring Kafka Streams Cassandra State StoreScyllaDB
Ā
kafka-streams-cassandra-state-store' is a drop-in Kafka Streams State Store implementation that persists data to Apache Cassandra.
By moving the state to an external datastore the stateful streams app (from a deployment point of view) effectively becomes stateless. This greatly improves elasticity and allows for fluent CI/CD (rolling upgrades, security patching, pod eviction, ...).
It also can also help to reduce failure recovery and rebalancing downtimes, with demos showing sporty 100ms rebalancing downtimes for your stateful Kafka Streams application, no matter the size of the applicationās state.
As a bonus accessing Cassandra State Stores via 'Interactive Queries' (e.g. exposing via REST API) is simple and efficient since there's no need for an RPC layer proxying and fanning out requests to all instances of your streams application.
