Infiltrate Prospects Like Richard Dawkins

Arh Dawkins. The go-to militant atheist. Also the genius behind inventing [http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?search=meme] the term “meme”. Way back in 1976. Not resting on his laurels of being named the world’s greatest current thinker [http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/booksblog/2013/apr/25/

Atlantic Array Pitch Disarray

One of the joys of working across timezones is catching English media at hours I wouldn’t normally. A neat example of this presented itself to me this week with a typical Yay-or-Nay talking head shout-off. It concerned a 240 wind turbine farm about to be built in the Bristol

Are You Ambushed By The Obvious?

Poor old Nick Clegg. It’s pretty difficult at the best of times to read an English newspaper and not see the UK’s deputy prime minister vilified. And that includes the lefty rags. Yesterday cleggbashing reached another ‘high’. (Here’s what an English lefty tabloid [http://www.mirror.co.

Know Boundaries Like Top Cricket Analyst

[/content/images/wordpress/2013/06/sa-cric-analyst-prasanna-agoram-p-dog-400x221.jpg] This is a pic taken of my telly showing, I learned Wednesday, an Indian chap affectionately called P-Dog. I revelled in Wednesday’s latest South African cricket “choke”. Especially as I was watching from their Cape. Mauled by the alarmingly predictable and plodding,

Star Trek Script Commitment

With the twelfth Star Trek movie hitting screens I searched out a documentary about the original series. Specifically, how it came about. Creator Gene Roddenberry had already made the journey from WW2 pilot to screenwriter. He now had the idea for his dream sci-fi show. Always called Star Trek. He

Stand Out From The Sales Slush Pile

I caught a moving tribute from one best-selling author to another tonight. No sooner as given a few more months by cancer doctors, Iain Banks died. Fellow Scot Ian Rankin reflected with much fondness and admiration on his close pal. The story of how he’d got started was riveting.

Pitiful Prism Powerpoint

We’ve just had one of those rare days when a powerpoint slide adorns the front of most of the world’s free press. Apparently the Americans have been trying to police the planet again. This time, according to the lefty papers, in doing so they’ve really become Bond

25 Toughest Interview Questions

It’s been a few months since I last interviewed salespeople. My resounding memory was of the low calibre of New York technology sellers. How they command such high pay remains a damning insight into many a tech firm today. Too many managers are so desperate to fill a cubicle

Another Sales App Boredom Blurb

[https://salespodder.com/content/images/wordpress/2013/06/sales-around-for-sap-app.jpg] After noticing the dearth of genuine sales apps [http://salespodder.com/where-are-the-killer-sales-apps/] recently, I searched around on what the big boys offer. Pretty much every on-demand crm provider has an app to make their mark on your home screens. Even

Perfect Pinterest Picture

Like I know pinterest. Maybe I’m too pintolerant, too much of a pidiot, or all round pimperious. Still, a cunning start-up gained wonderful PR for itself across our screeniverse this week. And (thanks to wired [http://www.wired.com/business/2013/06/this-is-the-perfect-pinterest-picture/]) I was grateful for their ‘scientific’
