I Hope You Don't Ship 'Units'

Here’s a notable recent encounter I had with a tech chief exec. In private and full of good humour, they ran through a mini-presentation for an off-site Sales conference. The company had a primary product line. Sales were doing well. As part of their address they lauded this evident

Learnings From A Day Of In-Field Instagram #Presentation

Bring Your Pitch To Life With A Prop

[https://salespodder.com/content/images/wordpress/2015/01/ukrainepresidentprop400w.jpg] I took this above pic of my telly. It’s the Ukraine President at the Davos World Economic Forum.
