CEOs - If you think you have a problem, assume you have a crisis
“if you act as if you have a major crisis, you’ll give a problem the attention it deserves”.
One of the top problems that has been observed with CEOs who are faced with a crisis situation, is that they have a tendency to “batten down the hatches”. When they do this, they don’t let a lot of outside people in. That in turn inhibits their ability to see things clearly. What can be more concerning is that in many cases it can cloud their judgement.

Are you doing what you need to do, or what you’ve been told worked for others?
The treatment ought to fit the diagnosis inside the company. What we do inside companies ought to be based on the facts. What are the problems? What seem to be the causes of the problems? What are the various things that we can do that will make the problems better?”

Could you drive an F1 car
To respond to the pandemic, most companies reached for the “cost” lever. And rightly so. When sales disappear as they did and cash is more precious than oxygen, costs have to go.
There’s a far better, safer way not only of achieving more profitable growth but of turning around downward spirals brought on by difficult markets, falling sales – and global pandemics. One that’s not only more effective, but less risky and costly.
Many would like to think so, but very few actually could. How many of us have seen motoring journalists put into the seat of a Formula 1 car, only to stall it when trying to get it to move!

Want more revenue out of your CRM? How about 24% more?
OrganisationsOrganizations buy CRM’s for various reasons, but ultimately they do so to boost revenue. Other oft-sited benefits include improving customer experience, getting better visibility over customers, enabling better marketing, and centralising data. But those – and many others, are all contributing benefits or drivers. Ultimately the aim is more revenue.
Who owns the revenue pipeline?
Many questions to address, such as "Is it a Pipeline or is it a Funnel?", "What about Mid Funnel or Lead Nurturing?" Depending on whom you ask, you’ll often receive a very different answer. Marketing will focus on their part, sales on theirs, and in many cases, no one focuses on the whole. Indeed, individual compensation and bonus plans can often reinforce a fragmented view.
