Have you ever heard the saying, “ Beauty is in the eye of the beholder?”. It’s the same with value in the eye of the buyer. Buyers pay attention to the “beauty” or value that is most important to them; and can get confused, sidetracked, or start to debate the cost for items they don’t see of value. More Isn’t Always Better . That’s why, when I heard a speaker at a conference tell the audience they should have a long list of specific components and features for ALL the potential services they off

We all get a lot of emails. But if you ask anyone who has had a “C” or a “VP” at the front of their title, you’ll quickly learn that most modern executives face a firehose of sales reps, recruiters, marketers, and pick-your-brain-over-coffee-ers making direct requests for their time every day. Executives read so many cold emails, they get a front-row seat to the most overused email templates and the worst email writing habits.

On a frigid New England morning, I pulled into a Dunkin' drive thru and noticed that there were only ten cars ahead of me and that meant that it shouldn't take more than five minutes to get through the fast-moving line. Contrast that to the Starbucks drive thru. There were five cars ahead of me and that could take from ten to fifteen minutes because of how long it takes to prepare beverages at Starbucks.

All of our customers have customers of their own, though they may not recognize that. They may be “real customers,” that is people/organizations they sell to. They may be “internal,” customers. For example, functions like finance, operations, HR, IT, all have end customers they must serve within their own organizations. Sometimes, particularly for internal customers, our customers forget about this.

When I first started blogging, I had no idea how to structure my posts to rank for search engines, or even why it was important. I just threw in bolded words and phrases that looked good, and hoped to be randomly selected for the search engine results page (SERP). Now, I know there is a science, and what I was throwing into my blog posts to make them look professional was called header tags — which is an important tool for comprehension and SEO.

Pause for a moment. Look at your qualified pipeline. Start at the bottom. Can you identify the problem the customer is trying to solve? Or the opportunity they are trying to address? I ask this in every deal review I participate in. At least 80% of the time, the response I get is, “They are trying to buy…… ” or, “We are selling… ” We always tend to define the customer business problems in terms of what we sell, not what the customer is trying to do–

Q: What should a startup know before rejecting an outside investor? Know they may not be there later. Investing in start-ups is very risky. Not only do most start-ups fail, but it is more than that.

And often, they will have zero real track record, or close to zero.

When this happens, you can run into one of the most dreaded mental conditions: burnout.
