To Sell Your Story, Be The Story
 For this week’s marketing post, I’m going to delve into the world of politics again, which holds some interesting lessons for the business world. One of the major advantages that Barack Obama currently holds over Hillary Clinton in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination here in the United States lies in how hisContinue reading “To Sell Your Story, Be The Story”
Great Expectations (Management)
One of the skills every marketer (if not every person) needs to master is the art of managing expectations. Managing expectations is a “Goldilocks” task–too high, and they’ll be impossible to meet; too low, and they’ll detract from your accomplishments; just right, and you’ll be a hero. Of the potential pitfalls, high expectations are perhapsContinue reading “Great Expectations (Management)”
Software-as-a-Service: Give 'em what they want
We’ve come a long way since the early days of Salesforce.com, when Marc Benioff was blazing a trail with his “No Software” campaign. Back then, the big question was whether or not corporate IT departments would ever accept on-demand software, as opposed to the traditional approach of on-premise hosting.

At first, I wasn’t certain if I believed them. After all, six times seems kind of arbitrary, and IContinue reading “If at first you don't persuade, try, try again (The Rule of Six)”
You Get What You Inspect, Not What You Expect
When I started my first company (long, long ago in a valley not so far away), I learned a valuable lesson from Jim Fitzsimmons, the guy I recruited to be CEO. Jim had experience both as an entrepreneur, and as a corporate manager (he had been assistant controller of all of Pepsico), and he hadContinue reading “You Get What You Inspect, Not What You Expect”
How PBwiki Made My Life Easier
As the new guy at PBwiki, folks often ask me about why I wanted to join the company. (thankfully, not too many ask the logical corollary, “Why would PBwiki want you as an employee?”) Besides the people here, who are great, the biggest reason for me is that I really love the product. Even moreContinue reading “How PBwiki Made My Life Easier”
