Further proof that you’re best off not outsourcing all your life to Google. Or any other techgiantia for that matter. Above is their chosen ‘placeholder image’ for Tropic. The Project Proposal template inside their Docs app. It sits at the top of the cover page. Ew. I can hardly

Nail Your Point Format

So I was talking through mnemonics with someone. POINT [http://salespodder.com/buyer-makes-their-point/]arose. > Preparation – One page only – Interesting – Newsworthy – Three I remembered it fondly. I then riffed on how this kind of thing can really sing and dance when re-designed onto a specific business setting. In our case, you

Are You Supplying Innovative Solutions?

I do hope so. On another level, I do hope not. A conundrum wrapped in an antinomy inside a dilemma, you might say. One I was alerted to with a news report [https://www.channel4.com/news/how-do-brexit-voters-feel-about-eu-divorce-bill] from a North West region of England. It sought voters’ views on

Then the near-universally glowing reviews poured forth, cracking like popcorn from heated kernels. Of the many I read

Maybe Your Prospect Is A Neophyte

John McEnroe get his neos mixed up. I made the mistake of watching a live match from the London leg of the tennis Grand Slams. The one-time superbrat was on the mic and passed comment on when the authorities (thankfully, belatedly) reacted to the step-change increased athletic and technological power
