When Planning Traps You

To plan or not to plan? That is the sellers question. Can you boil down solution salespeople into two types? The planners and the unplanned? Those that diligently plot out how to get to a goal, set against those who fly by seat-of-the-pants, all spontaneity and improvisation? Perhaps that's a

You A Sixth Waver?

“Bull markets are born on pessimism, grow on scepticism, mature on optimism and die on euphoria.” The summation of fund manager 'legend', Sir John Templeton. That alone is worth a decent sales slide. In the very least, one annotated by striking out the stock market trader term 'bull markets' for

Trick, Decoded

A freelance task platform initiative reached my inbox, bandwagonning the latest pop-sci juggernaut. Here's a trio of their straps to entice. AI, decoded amAIzing projects get into the (algo) rhythm Whilst this is marketing copy, our selling thrust might well take a tip from it. Let's set aside the pun-able

Zero String Vision

Lauded Hollywood Director Approach To Video Calls

You might, if you were of the movie-mind, describe this 'narrative structure' as 'the series of events that's the essence of

Agitation Issue Alert

I recently found out the term for the classic snag of when a small item of laundry fails to come out clean. The cause tends to be an 'agitation issue'. Which occurs when say, a sock, ends wound up inside another garment and as a result cannot receive the required

Push & Pull Forces

Economists think of migration as being driven by a combination of push and pull factors, things which drive you away from your home country and things which draw you to your destination. The summary of one London-based broadsheet opinionista on a burning hot topic de jour. Simple swaps turn this

Late Night Daytime Vidscapes

Apropos of nothing, they might snidely snipe. How else can the highest paid of tv slurmongers show solidarity with the betrodden? Well, whilst unlikely myself to consume this particular content, at least this is one piece-to-camera they offer that seems with merit. Scriptwriters have gone on strike. Principally I gather
