Who cuts the oxygen to your Ideas?


Wonder why great ideas are always booed away and shoed away?
Because it creates fear in the minds of people around you - peers and managers! They don't want your idea to challenge their pay cheque or authority or cosy zone.

In most corporates, most of the ideas are rejected for selfish reasons!

One-line Marketing Strategy

I had a chat with a start-up founder. He wanted me to act as a sounding board and as well give him a one-line marketing strategy.

"Serve a market that is an inch wide and a mile deep and not a mile wide and an inch deep."

How true!! Start-ups should follow this brick to brick or pixel to pixel!!

Why do Webinars fail ?

Webinars. Webinars. Webinars. This is equivalent to TV commercials in the online world. Turn around and you have plenty of free webinars for your taking. Personally, I have registered in a few and as a default missed them or didn't sit through. This raised a serious question in my mind... how does Webinar fare as a key tool in lead generation.

I got some convincing answers from one of the leading names in global marketing research and consulting. Their inference on why some or many webinars fail :

1. Content was not as advertised
2. Presenter(s) read directly from the slides
3. Webinar began with company/sales information (pitches)
4. You were familiar with the information in the first few slides
5. The webinar was an hour long
6. Presenter(s) spoke slowly
7. Skipped / failed to mark in calendar
