Let's say you've come to the difficult realization that quite frankly your brand -- if you can even call it that -- is all over the place. Or perhaps worse, you have a defined brand, but you're noticing that it just doesn't seem to mesh with who you really are and what you really do. Don't panic.

"Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality.". Warren Bennis, Author, On Becoming a Leader.

And buyer’s value blindness will stop your sales opportunity right in its track. Value blindness can create a big problem when trying to convert leads- if it’s not easy for the buyer to see the value of your solution, they most likely won’t put the energy into figuring it out

There are a lot of things to be negative about on the internet today. And between cyberbullying on Twitter, fake news on Facebook, and too many weight loss tea ads on Instagram, it's easy to feel jaded about social media in particular. In fact, we surveyed more than 3,000 people around the world, and one-third responded that they feel "awful" after browsing social media -- with Facebook taking the crown for most awful feelings induced.
