Conversation with Vikrant C


Vikrant C:

Hello,
I just wanted to do a quick follow-up on my previous email as I didn't notice a reply from you on my earlier email. I know how emails can sometimes get buried under other emails. Just wanted to reach out to you again in case you didn't have a chance to review my note.

I'm curious to know if your company works with or hires remote developers. I'm part of a small & skilled Ruby on Rails team and we are currently exploring opportunities of working as subcontractors for other companies like yours, where we can augment your current team to expand your development bandwidth.
We are based in Bangalore, India which has obvious benefits like reduced costs of development; and that along with subcontracting can help you in easily adding to your team's size as needed while also reducing your costs & risks.
We can also pick up post-launch project maintenance tasks on your behalf so that your team can be free to move on to higher priority tasks.
Being at the other side of the globe also puts us at a unique advantage as we can help you monitor critical services round the clock and react to issues while your team sleeps.
Also, If you'd like to prefer referrals over subcontracting, we are happy to pay a referral fee to get referred on projects which your team decides to not pick up for various reasons (lack of time/resources, budget too small etc.)
We have already developed some successful applications that you can view in our portfolio here - https://drive.google.com/file/d/[Redacted]/view?usp=sharing
I'd love to get an opportunity to work with you. If you think there are any opportunities, please do get in touch with me.
I look forward to your reply.
Thank you!

Hi Jonathan,

Sorry, I couldn't find your company name. I do not remember sending any
email to mlooper.com domain name and you probably received my email on some
other email address?

Do you have a link to where I can read a bit more about this?

John Turing:

Very nice! Where abouts are you located?

We are currently working from Bangalore, India.

John Turing:

Super! Do you offer a one-month free trial by any chance? I'm a bit tight on funds, but this is something I'd like to dip my toes in!


Jonathan Turing
Founder, CEO MLooper

Vikrant C:

Hi Jonathan,

We can work out on trial. Can you please give us more details on the
project & nature of work?

John Turing:

Hmmm... I like what you're saying, but can you provide me with just a little more information? Looking for specifics.

This is a sample message to test if I'm talking to a sophisticated b o t.

Vikrant C:

Wow, I'm good at differentiating between humans and 2015 bots! :-)
Dear bot, can I talk to the human behind you?

Vikrant C:

Remind me the 3 laws again.

John Turing:

Sorry— I think I responded to the wrong email previously. My computer has been acting kinda wacky lately!

Know of any good IT guys!? ha ha!

Are we good to go here?


Jonathan Turing
Founder, CEO MLooper

Vikrant C:

Those are not the 3 laws. A good bot should know Three Laws of Robotics!
Let me help you out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Laws_of_Robotics

John Turing:

Ok great! How can we get started?


Jonathan Turing
Founder, CEO MLooper

Vikrant C:

You are a dumb bot. You know that?

John Turing:

Do you have anyone on your team who works in SEO? We're looking to get higher in the "eyes of Google"!


Jonathan Turing

Vikrant C:

Is this bot alive?

Very nice! Where abouts are you located?
