Marketing and Business Development:  Your ability to attract and keep good clients is essential to your business.  Many companies get caught in a rut in which both marketing and business development initiatives seem to be so cookie cutter that they cannot see the customers’ perspective.  Even though the intent is to provide customers quality products and services too many people within the organization are not able to look at the situation from the customers’ view.  Everyone in the organization must understand their role and how it is connected to the business’ mission and how that mission is connected to the customer organizations you serve.  The balance between a standardized approach (repeatable processes) and ensuring you diagnose before you prescribe is an art in itself.  Mastering this art will allow you to continually improve your ability to obtain and retain good customers.

The newest computer can merely compound, at speed, the oldest problem in the relations between human beings, and in the end the communicator will be confronted with the old problem, of what to say and how to say it.
