I have this rule when I shop- no double trouble. No matter how much I like something, I never buy two of the same things- not even in different colors. This applies to tops, pants, skirts, jackets, shoes, and other clothing. I say this because everyone is talking about the Recession, Part II.
Is a “double dip” recession [...]

Double Trouble in a Double Dipping Recession
The No-Po Translator
A few of my single women friends were sharing dating stories and discussing the inventory pool of eligible men. One friend was curious about two guys she had recently met. She described him as saying ”he didn’t want to complicate things in a relationship.” My other friend quickly jumped in and translated that and said, ”oh, that means he’s married.” [...]

Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
I’ve been feeling nostalgic lately. I lost hours a few days ago on Facebook catching up with my past and finding people I hadn’t heard from in over 25 years. I learned about their new lives, their kids, their new careers, their friends, their causes and tried to remember myself in their lives. It was [...]
Marketo’s Revenue Masters
I was conducting my needs assessment with my client and asking all about their inside sales organization. Their teams’ charter, structure, sales cycle, customer issues and sales challenges. Then I asked them about their marketing support, their lead nurturing program, lead generation, lead qualification and lead conversion program - they answered with Marketo, Marketo, Marketo.

My AHA Moment
Many of my friends are shocked that I’m dog sitting this week. I have never had a dog- through my childhood or through raising my daughter, never owned a dog. It’s odd because many of my closest friends are major dog lovers and they somehow have decided that I’m not dog ownership material. Since I [...]

Each year, I write my hotlist of what’s in/out and trend reports. Since the phone and email are the primarily business tools for inside sales, [...]
It’s about time you got smart about your writing
The only way a salesperson will survive in this Sales 2.0 landscape is if they can write. What used to be the “gift of gab” in sales is now the “gift of the written word.” Everything you do in sales requires you to write- from a simple email to proposal to newsletter to LinkedIn message [...]
San Francisco Nostalgia
I was rushing to my appointment late Friday afternoon across Union Square. I still get nostalgic, even after living in the city 30+ years, when I walk through certain parts of the city. The hustle and bustle of Union Square always reminds me of the holidays, shopping bags, glamour, tourists and SF legends. Each street, alley, [...]
