It’s 2012, right? It is 2012 isn’t it? Well, looking at a random sampling of agency sites would dictate otherwise. If you are engaged in finding new business for your agency in any form-where do you drive them to find out more about you? In almost every case, it’s to your site, or landing page, [...]
And what do these three items have in common, besides residing in my basement? At one time, they were all on the cutting edge. Now, they are in boxes in my basement, waiting to be thrown away, recycled or garner me an appearance on Hoarders. So what does this have to do with new [...]
Paula Deen, the Food Network’s unapologetic Queen of Deep-Fried, Butter and Mayonnaise, just became the spokeswoman for a diabetes medication for Novo Nordisk. Apparently, she’s been living with Type 2 diabetes for three years and taking Novo Nordisk’s medication that she is now representing. So what does this have to do with New Business Development [...]

What’s for dinner?” OK – maybe you’re not hearing voices, but you know that for your blog to remain a relevant business development [...]
Happy New Year and welcome back to the working week, as Elvis Costello said. (Although you probably never stopped working I’m guessing.) An interesting Forbes article by Eric Jackson on their site this week titled The Seven Habits of Spectacularly Unsuccessful Executives. Three of the seven “habits” really jumped out in their application to the [...]
At the beginning of each New Year, many of us make resolutions – you know those really hard things to do that you wouldn’t dream of doing unless you’ve had several glasses of bubbly, like losing 20 pounds or in my Mother’s case, finding her daughter a husband. Now we all know how these “resolutions” [...]
Posts this time of year are always interesting because you (the reader) are typically entirely too busy to read blogs. And when you do have time to read them, most posts this time of year are “looking ahead to 2012” type of posts. So, since you’re busy, here’s a quick post focusing on “the now.” [...]
