The Unagenda'd Sales Meeting

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Gapingvoid Culture Design Group (@gapingvoid) For any Sales meeting, having an agenda is best-practice. My hunch though, is that only less than one-in-ten ever get one drawn up. Starting off with a vibe of, 'let's just have a chat' isn't typically

WFH Rate Remains Stubbornly Set

There's a great many reasons why our selling video skills must be honed. For one, the medium is not going away. Enterprise selling has long embraced the 'remote'. Videoing its modern-day extension. The ability to hold meetings over video ought be a pillar of productivity improvements that make a real

At Least There's A Window

English Indie rock-poppers The Wombats can deliver the odd melody. From frontman with distinctive smooth voice.

Cachet diminishing in real-time as those that once clamoured to attend Davos now merely dial-in. Across six hours time difference, beaming in four thousand miles apart, the freshly (re)elected American President appeared. A

Zuck When Talking About Something Important

The latest in the recurring series of World's Richest Tech Bros change-the-world video monologues hit early this New Year. Mark Zuckerberg spent 5 minutes 17 seconds justifying a sudden political volte-face. Worrying those forever inclined towards more regulation. Welcomed by free speech campaigners. He began; "Hey everyone. I want to
