Sales rehab: how to make targets and rest easy

[Geoff Garrett] It's no secret that, when times are lean, that sales managers begin to bald prematurely, wake up in the dark of night in a cold sweat, and quaff one consecutive coffee after another while chain-smoking like a legionnaire. The reason for their accelerated ageing is that they don't know what to do to remedy the situation. But that needn't be the case. 10 May 2012 10:13

Caxton full of bluster on Media24-Witness merger

[Gill Moodie: @grubstreetSA] Caxton, I think it's fair to say, cares more about the competition it's getting from Media24 in KZN than protecting the independent newspapers of that fair province. The truth is that many of our newspapers with their existing business models are in their twilight years and the big media houses don't have the luxury of caring about media diversity. 25 Apr 2012 12:06

Five things to watch out for on Twitter

[Tiffany Markman] Let's say you're new to Twitter. Okay - no-one who reads Bizcommunity is new to Twitter. Let's say you've been on Twitter a while and you mostly love it, but you have minor reservations about a) its time-wasting potential, b) its actual value to your brand, or c) when and whether to distance yourself from your fellow tweeps. 23 Apr 2012 14:02

Make sure your slides are the itch, not the scratch

[Douglas Kruger] Microsoft's proud creation suffers a similar PR problem to money. Universally acknowledged as the root of all evil, money was falsely accused. The original verse actually states that "the love of money is the root of all evil." Similarly, it is the obsessive, compulsive, yearning, mindless, brainwashed, mewling, needling, squirming, frightening need for PowerPoint that is the real problem. Not PowerPoint itself. 17 Apr 2012 11:38

Marketing lessons from the Arab Spring

[Eugene Yiga] 2011 was the year of the protester. But instead of discussing the bored trustafarians who 'occupied' the world lest they be denied something for the first time in their lives, I'd like to focus on the Arab Spring. How did it happen? And what can we as marketers learn? 13 Apr 2012 09:39
