Until a year ago, intensifying urbanization was the norm, with cities confronting challenges related to congestion, pollution, and overstretched mobility networks. In the UK, estimates indicated that people were spending more than 221 days of their lives commuting; in the US, it was more than 400 days. Meanwhile, lengthy commute times were associated with a range of physical and mental conditions, including stress, headaches, backaches, and fatigue.

Does it still make sense to request a demo for professional software at a time when a quarter of new car buyers gladly will skip a test drive? Yes, say enterprise software experts including Bryce Maughan, director of sales enablement and business development at Impartner. “The benefits of taking a demo are many regardless of whether that demo leads to a sale or not,” Maughan says.

In the midst of this “information overload,” there’s one recent story that has fully captured my attention (and, hopefully, the attention of all social sector boards)

My 90 year- old mother is a very traditional English woman. She remembers the spirit of the Blitz in WW2, tends her garden and loves her Sunday roast. For many years she was deeply suspicious of ‘foreign food’, despite being married to my father, who hails from China. Whenever we visited a Chinese restaurant, she ordered an omelette and chips. Then one day, when the omelette was off the menu, she did a rethink.

Statistics show that 78% of people make buying decisions based on social media brand posts. This number may be high because according to BroadbandSearch, the average person spends 2,5 hours on social media every day, and more people are making online purchases. More importantly, it’s become common knowledge amongst marketers that peer to peer advertising is significantly more effective than brand to consumer advertising: people won’t believe what you say about your brand, but they will believe w

Do you ever read press releases about alliances & partnerships? I can imagine you don’t, it is not the most attractive bedtime reading! I often do read them, see it perhaps as an occupational deformation.

Back when I got my first marketing degree, my professor would say that while business schools teach the importance of fully funding marketing, it was also the one area CEOs were most likely to cut. We observe people lining up for movies, for devices like music players and iPhones, and once, during the Windows 95 launch, they even lined up for an operating system, all because of marketing.

Your buyers’ lives, preferences, and expectations have changed. Over two-thirds of buyers prefer remote or digital interactions — and they expect those interactions to be substantive and valuable. They hold sellers to a high standard, and that means the buying experiences of the past — in-person meetings, transactional conversations, and linear sales funnels — no longer deliver.

This was ‘stick the horn on the unicorn’ – so your aim is to get your horn sticker as close to where it should actually go on the poster of a unicorn. You wear a blindfold, get given the horn sticker, spin around 3 times and then you walk forward and hope your sticker is in the right place.
