What if you found out you are, at best, only optimizing your site for 81% of the people who might possibly visit it? Whether you’ve spent years perfecting your site’s usability or are just getting started, you’d want to know about that other 19%, right? That 19% represents millions and millions of people with disabilities who can’t access or engage with sites in the traditional way.

Leadership is hard. I mean real leadership. Not many people are good at it. I’ve had a number of boss’s in my life, but only a few were actual leaders. I’ve been a boss a number of times and I’m pretty sure I’d only been a leader a few of those times. Being a leader is hard because you have to want to be a leader. Being a leader is very different than being someone’s boss.

There is a huge chasm between customers and our own sales and marketing initiatives. This is nothing new, yet it’s what keeps us from connecting with our customers and prospects. It’s what causes our customers and prospects to shut down, ignoring our best efforts to engage them and sell them something (you can begin to see the challenge with that statement.).

Have you ever sat in a meeting and been asked, “Well, how much is that [insert necessary marketing tool or program to grow business] going to cost?”. Those who run the budget at companies must ensure return on investment from every activity that they put dollars behind -- otherwise you wouldn’t have resources to do your job. Trouble is, solidifying those resources and proving they’ll be worth the investment can definitely be a challenge.

Documents are the backbone of enterprise operations, but they are also a common source of inefficiency. From buried insights to manual handoffs, document-based workflows can quietly stall decision-making and drain resources. For large, complex organizations, legacy systems and siloed processes create friction that AI is uniquely positioned to resolve.

I was on the phone with a client who spent some time telling me about how he follows the sales process, prepares the questions he wants to ask, makes sure he remembers to thoroughly qualify, prepares and plans his presentations and considers all of the possible objections he may encounter along the way. That's all well and good - but it's too complicated.

The ability to emphasize with others, build lasting relationships, and manage emotions in a healthy way has been proven time and time again to be one of the biggest indicators of workplace and interpersonal success. In client-facing roles, emotional intelligence can be the difference between a lasting agency-client relationship and a severed contract.

The sales career growth of a Sales Development Rep can go a multitude of ways, but it most naturally points in the direction of the Account Executive, if it’s within a modern sales organization. While Sales Development Reps occupy an interesting space in most companies — often viewed as “entry-level,” or even “churn-and-burn” type roles — that perception has recently evolved into a more progressive idea of sales career growth.

They have to be timeless and distinct, but still modern and consistent with contemporary graphic design trends. It's a lot to ask of a single symbol. As any designer will surely tell you, designing a logo that meets these varied expectations is no easy task.

And, in a stroke of paranoia brought on by the 1960 film The Time Machine , I often ask myself, “Will people still read?”. Classic science fiction movies aside, there's data to suggest that our willingness to read might be on the decline.
