Greetings Rainmakers!
I hope September has been going well for you. It has been for me. Fall is here, and as the weather cools off here in Texas we get the return of football too — and a little family rivalry. I’m a Baylor fan but I have kids at Oklahoma State, so my household is split right now. Sic’em Pokes, I guess …
September has been a good month for us here at Rainmaker Digital Services. Our DevOps team has been working hard on new updates to Rainmaker Platform, and we’re getting ready for another release. QA is in progress and you’ll see the results soon.
This monthly edition of the Rainmaker Dispatch is unusually strong. There has been some great marketing content published recently, and you can see all of it updated every Wednesday at RainmakerDispatch.com. Here’s the best of the best.
