Launch of RENow™
Have you heard one of my speeches or attended a webinar?  If so, you know that I cover a lot of ground with fresh content.  As such, I am often asked for a copy of the presentation, link to the digital download of the webinar, or review of the best practices.

I also often encourage my attendees to present our content to their respective teams and in the process, continue to raise the bar on their personal and professional growth.

We've made that opportunity easier than ever with the launch of RENow™ - our digital content delivery engine. Click HERE>> to learn more.

But no matter how brief a negative expression, it will be seen: people can catch facial expressions even as short as 17 milliseconds.  Click HERE to read the rest of the story>>

2010 - The Year of the Astutely Engaged Organization

The changing dynamics in B2B buyer behavior will force many organizations to engage and influence their current and prospective customers very differently in the "new norm" of 2010 and beyond.  Marketing will have to focus much more proactively on one-to-one relationships (as advocated by Don Peppers and Martha Rogers of Peppers & Rogers Group in the early 90s - talk about being ahead of your time!) whether on the corporate website / blog, or a multitude of social networks.  Click HERE to read the rest of the story>>

   
   

Corporate Blogging Best Practices

Although I'm finding myself tweeting more often and blogging less, I remain amazed by how many organizations and senior leaders in particular have yet to see the value of a blog as the central hub for their ideas, perspectives, and candid responses to market dynamics. 

As such, here are some best practices from our work with a multitude of corporate clients and senior leadership teams.  Click HERE to read the rest of the story>>
