Comic's Big Top Needs

Here's the final paragraph from a London broadsheet pr interview promoing the upcoming stand-up tour of Dylan Moran. > "He gets out a sheet of paper and asks me what I want from comedy. “I want a lot,” he says, “I want redemption. I want to be saved. I want to

Standard Line-Up Two Years In

I was privy to a video call lately (outside of my 'coaching' capacity) where I realised a full range of backdrops was on display. The five-strong gallery featured the following broadcast settings; ~ coffee shop sky blue wall at an angle ~ virtual background majoring on a pinky-purple neon palette ~ open-plan empty

Two-Thirds Misguided Domineering

A UK survey from a gambling focused marketing outfit gained the desired PR near the start of Feb looking at our secret Zoom tactics. Among the pyjama bottoms, parallel work-multitasking and pretending to be busier confessions, was this reveal; > Two-thirds of Britons surveyed admit setting their laptop camera at an

Facebook Video Negotiation

I am sorry to report that I've heard a couple of people connected to Sales lately talk down any video future. Well. There were those who said the car would never catch on. They couldn't go any faster than a horse. There were no roads. Manoeuvring them was far from

I naturally found myself drawn to their Home Office [https://www.houzz.co.uk/ideabooks/155382057/thumbs/best-of-houzz-2022-uk-home-office] nods. The publicity shots of those garlanded are enough to make

It's Not Just The Office Rent

This first full week where all workers where I am are encouraged to get back into the office is an eerie place. Rush-hour transport volume visibly no different to the weeks prior. News sites keen to show photos of sparsely driven trunk roads, train carriages where those on board each

Video Meeting Storyboard For 70pc Improvement

There's not often much Sales insight to be had from a movie promotion interview. You might get the occasional glimpse into how media training refines a plot into an enticing 30sec pitch soundbite. But that's about it. Yet late-21 served up a delicious metric from pioneering Director, Ridley Scott. [sub'n

How Much Of This Year's Selling Will Stay Remote?

Where I am currently, WFH government guidance now ends. I hear from companies caught in limbo about how to make their way back into the office. Underlying tension percolating from the who and the when. I remain more than mildly irked by this. In my very first solution sales role,
