Oops I did it again…. 
this year had lots of spark and drama to it. Makes you scratch your head and ask, “wwwhat were they thinking when they did that, said that or tried that?” So here are some of my favorite dumbest moments of this year.
1. Dan Seidman has a great book titled Sales Autopsy where he actually chronicles over 600 sales blunders.
2. Eliot Spitzer-One of the most prominent and brightest gets caught in a prostitution scandel
3. OJ Simpson- Last year he thought he would just storm into Vegas to retrieve some sports memorabilia and his first wive’s wedding ring.
4. John Edwards- finally admits to Bob Woodruff that he lied about his affair that he maintained while campaigning as Presidential candidate for the Democratic party.
5. Email Blunders-check out what Proofpoint has put together and included Sarah Palin’s email blunder.
6. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac- They have been described as “fumbling, financial oddities” and it’s no surprise.
7. Web Sites- Just in case you decide to redesign your web site, stay away from these traps
8. 10 Common Sales Mistakes- Yes, these are spot on- especially “Presenting a non-stop Sales Pitch.”
9. John McCain chooses Sarah Palin- No matter how you voted, everyone agrees McCain made a risky VP choice brining Palin on board.
10. Follow Social Media Etiquette- You may be on Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, LinkedIn- but it’s easy to make a few mistakes such as writing on your own wall on Facebook.
