But at the end of the day it is still sales! We are selling and they are buying. We&#39;re just not selling in the old school way developed in the 50&#39;s. Professonal selling, done right, with the buyer&#39;s needs in mind, is a vital aspect of all businesses today so it would be a shames to see it relegated to the dustbin.James Hoganhttp://www.linkedin.com/profile?viewProfile&key=2303253&trk=tab_pronoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037050163821242574.post-46475367828174851792009-08-05T14:18:49.054-04:002009-08-05T14:18:49.054-04:00Well Andy---I think you&#39;re right on track as usual!

What you have come up with here is something totally different from the brainstorming sessions of &#39;What ifs?&#39; and &#39;Why nots?&#39;. I think &#39;So what?&#39;, if practiced well, would surely help us to delve deeper into the context of the project at hand and would give a definite meaning to &#39;breaking the clutter&#39;.<br /><br />Looking forward for more such tools from you, Andy. <br /><br />Thanks. <br />KarthikKarthik Mhttp://www.behance.net/Karthiknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037050163821242574.post-54023331651745646822009-07-07T15:46:02.082-04:002009-07-07T15:46:02.082-04:00Andy...

There tends to be two groups involved with training and development. Group #1 views it as a base-line requirement and puts as little time and money as possible to support it. Group #2 views it as a sophisticated, intellectual process that involves a PHD, extensive testing and a 300-page design document. They are constantly frustrated by never having enough time and money to support it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
