I remember a time, not so long ago, when enterprise marketing felt like trying to conduct an orchestra with a handful of megaphones and a very long list of names scrawled on various scraps of paper. You had your email team over here, the website folks there, social media somewhere else, and advertising agencies doing […]
I’ve spent years watching businesses grow, stumble, and sometimes soar, and if there’s one consistent thread I’ve seen weave through the most successful enterprises, it’s their relationship with their customers. Not just a superficial "we care about customers" slogan, but a deep, structural commitment that permeates every corner of their operation. This commitment, I’ve observed
I remember a time, not so long ago, when running a sales team felt a lot like navigating a dense fog. Every morning, I’d wake up with a knot in my stomach, wondering if we’d hit our numbers, if we were chasing the right leads, or if a big deal was about to slip through
You know, I’ve been around the block a time or two in the business world, seen fads come and go, watched technologies rise and fall.

I remember a time, not so long ago, when running a business in the United States felt like trying to navigate a bustling city street with a blindfold on. We had customers, wonderful people, but understanding them, truly understanding them, felt like a constant uphill battle. Our customer relationship management (CRM) system, bless its heart,

I remember a time, not so long ago, when our little startup felt like a bustling marketplace on a Saturday morning. Orders flying, phones ringing, everyone doing a bit of everything. We started, like many do, with spreadsheets. Oh, those glorious, color-coded spreadsheets! They were our first foray into customer relationship management, a simple ledger
