Why Buy IT? Why Buy MINE? Why Buy NOW?

Sep 28, 2018 By Dave Berkus

What a powerful set of three questions. These are so succinct, so well defined, so precise that everyone in sales and everyone involved in marketing must be able to answer these three questions without pause, and convincingly. Turning these into statements instead of questions provides a framework for the sales presentation from the highest levels […]

Faster is Sometimes More Valuable Than Better

Sep 20, 2018 By Dave Berkus

This is one of those arguable insights, where both sides win. Dell is a great example of emphasis upon fast, creating a customized computer in 48 hours or less, bringing in assemblies and components just-in-time to make the assembly line. However, if Dell quality were poor and returns high, the company surely would not have […]

On Differentiation

Sep 19, 2018 By Dave Brock

Differentiation is critical in helping customers select our solution over the alternatives. As important as it is, most sales people do a terrible job at differentiation. Ultimately, too many are unable to differentiate in meaningful ways, as a result they end up differentiating on price. Every time we win by taking pricing actions, we are […]

A Former Skeptic Explains Why Conscious Capitalism Could Save the World

Mar 22, 2018 By Mike Maddock

I am a convert. But it took a while. Even though my friend Rajendra (Raj) Sisdodia is the co-author (with John Mackey, CEO of Whole Foods) of the best-seller Conscious Capitalism, I was skeptical of their thinking for the longest time. However, the recent horrific headlines we have been hit with have made me change my […]

How I Break the Twitter “Rules” and Get 108 Million Impressions

Feb 28, 2018 By Jeff Bullas

It was tough being different. I was not doing things as they expected. Breaking the rules. They really didn’t like it. Their comments and insults were daunting and confronting. How dare you do that that. You are doing it wrong. You are a robot. But I pressed on. Standing out and breaking conventions takes courage. […]

The Lesson of the 1-Legged Seagull

Feb 26, 2018 By Susan Solovic

It’s easier to reach people today than ever before in history. However, that is both a blessing and a curse. Why?

This leads to email overload, sensory overload, Internet addiction, tech burnout, and all kinds […]

Reinvent Your Category: Be Different

Feb 20, 2018 By Drew McLellan

This past year my daughter and I were in New York City and saw the play that took Broadway by storm – Hamilton. It was spectacular in every way imaginable, but it was also the antithesis of a Broadway musical in every way imaginable. It was different. According to Broadway League research, the average theatergoer […]
