Who's In Your Band?

These 200 seconds from late '21 will no doubt be of little surprise to you as it trundles well beyond halfway. The now familiar 'hybrid is staying' mantra. Widely promoted as the enlightened bandwagon from around that time. Just after a minute in, the co-located to distributed location poles, set

TLDR; The New Recap

I see lots of Sales slidedecks. They can easily suffer the same types of limiting factors. Too long, too cluttered, too customer-non-centric, too wordy, too pointless. Even when you know the traps, it can be fiendishly tricky to edit your own work to banish such kinds of sales prevention tics.

Poptastic Salesjustice

Xenoglossy Poleoglossy Hubris

Throughout this year so far, I've hit my head a fair few times against the brick wall that is the 'unconscious incompetent'. Given my wealth of experience, especially from my many days of business tech New Product Rescue, I was half-expecting it. Not quite though, to this scale. I have

If 84pc of Digital Transformations Fail then What Hope for Video Selling?

There's an infamous, oft-referenced survey in the tech world; 84% of digital transformation projects fail to reach their objectives. Widely publicised (see via Forbes [https://www.forbes.com/sites/brucerogers/2016/01/07/why-84-of-companies-fail-at-digital-transformation/] ) back as 2016 dawned, the 'survey' suggests that in this pursuit, disaster is the norm.

When five people speak together, a sixth always has to die

Deepism courtesy of Nietzsche. Think of any workteam. Any business meeting. Or indeed, our video calls today. What's the optimum attendee crowd? This wisdom suggests it is 5. The philosophy apparently has several layers of meaning. As well as rabbit holes of potential etymology. [Take this random Reddit thread [https:

Supermodel Court Appearance by Videolink

Sadly, we don't all live in a multi-million listed country farmhouse. Top designers to call on as friends. With a three grand jacket happily on hand. Then neither are we likely to be called as witness for a $100m defamation trial. I sense we may each have somewhere dear currently
