The growth of a company is dependent on its consumer base. The bigger it is, the better it is for the business. Typically for most of the companies the consumer is the middle class, the working class. And this people are dependent on their jobs for money.

Most of us are working on solving some pretty hard problems, and it usually ends up taking some fairly complex systems in order to power these solutions. As such, for most teams there are two very significant challenges to tackle: First, discovering , in detail, what the customer solution needs to be.

As more companies begin to leverage managed services in their transition to a more outcome-based business model, developing the right sales strategy is at top of mind.

I already know what you’re thinking; we’ve all been taught since a very young age that stealing is bad. We place a lot of greatness on the innovators, the people who came up with the new idea, saying, “We don’t copy, we create. We don’t follow, we lead.” Unfortunately, this inability to adopt game changing ideas and incorporate them into our daily operations simply because it “wasn’t invented here” can slow us down, and inhibits company growt

About six weeks ago, I shipped a piece of art via a highly reputable shipper.
