Prospect Discarding - How Google Canary Tab Experiment Could Improve Your Funnel

So Google’s Chrome browser kept crashing on me. After suffering myriad alternatives and successful re-installs, I happened upon their lab version. Future Chrome, you could say. Sandbox, alpha, development – or a term they seem to prefer “the bleeding edge of the web”, as opposed to “Chrome Stable”. They ‘brand’

What Washington Teaches

A quick long holiday weekend musing. Caught listening to a snippet of a radio documentary. The reminiscences of an American [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_F._Kennedy_Jr.] who as a 14-yr old, had to bear the assassination of his father. He then followed in his paternal footsteps and

Your Prospect Uberfact Friend Check

Which Muppet Would Your Prospect Want To Shadow

[http://www.thisisinsider.com/facebook-personality-test-cambridge-analytica-data-trump-election-2018-3] Psychographics makes the global news this week. It’s one of the most sadly under-used angles in solution selling. People so often agonise over the numbers which underpin their optimum customer.

Are You Soaking In Prospect Emotion

How Does History Guru's Only Law Apply to Your Big Deal?

Niall Ferguson [http://www.niallferguson.com/], of whom I last posted [http://salespodder.com/is-the-west-history/] back in 2011, has another cracking sounding ‘album’ out. A history of the power of networks and lessons for today’s freewheelin’ silicon valley. He hopes that will halt their path to becoming Bond Villains.

The Self-Justification Lens

Here’s a tidbit I took from a recent mistakes have been made trope. You’ll likely be familiar with this style of non-apology apology. Mistakes have been made, lesson’s have been learned, we move forward better for it. Vacuous corporate-speak evoked with the recent “transition” in Zimbabwean governance.
