Sales FactorX

Yesterday's musing on using the power of X-factor [https://salespodder.com/sales-x-factors/] language on a bid sparked a related idea. Feel lobbing in one of those words beginning with 'x' might represent for your audience a bit too much of a lean into casuistry (like use

Emptores non facit saltum & Plastic Prospects

I read recently about the battle for ideas in the field of evolutionary biology. Which made me tense at the most misleading of phrases around this. One sadly I hear in business conversation all too often; 'survival of the fittest'. Aargh! Overwhelmingly, 'fittest' is considered synonym

Sellertrophic Levels

I was reminded of the biology framing of a food chain; the trophic level. Reading about Killer Whales predating Great White Sharks for their 60kg livers. Around the waters stretching an hour or so's drive East of Cape Town. The result appears to be mass flight of the
