Video Meeting Storyboard For 70pc Improvement

There's not often much Sales insight to be had from a movie promotion interview. You might get the occasional glimpse into how media training refines a plot into an enticing 30sec pitch soundbite. But that's about it. Yet late-21 served up a delicious metric from pioneering

Patch Tuesday

This is the name of the second Tuesday of each month when Microsoft send out patches to fix its bugs. And there's a lot of bugs. Always has been. Always will be. How they have the gall to continuously shaft their customers is mindblowing. Even way back in

How Much Of This Year's Selling Will Stay Remote?

Where I am currently, WFH government guidance now ends. I hear from companies caught in limbo about how to make their way back into the office. Underlying tension percolating from the who and the when. I remain more than mildly irked by this. In my very first solution sales role,

I heard a former elected official who later became an appointed high-level advisor talk about a weekly email once sent round by the chief of staff. It was the title that initially got them excited; Government Achievements. Yet was sadly underwhelmed when it began to arrive. All it listed, so

Hermeneutics

Global head of religious sect makes headlines for saying cancel culture should stop. Cue journalists rushing to riff on the Papal Bull. What struck me from a selling perspective, was his use of the term hermeneutics [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermeneutics]. This concept has meaning well beyond the study

Cricket Test Survival Equation

Phew. England finally produced something to salvage a smidgen of Ashes pride Down Under. Against the odds, batting out the final day in Sydney to save the game and avoid the almost ritual latter-day whitewash when playing away. England Remain Unbeaten In 2022, runs the meme. It really isn’t
