In the 2014 comedy Sex Tape, Jason Segel and Cameron…

Competing with LinkedIn Pulse

Like millions of other LinkedIn users, I was recently invited to publish on LinkedIn Pulse. The invitation went directly to my Marketing folder via an automatic inbox rule. In truth, it could have been a week or two before I circled back and saw the message.

I’m a LinkedIn fan with posts like 10 Tips for LinkedIn Ranking, but my inbox is for customers. The myriad interrupting noise of offers,…

Top 5 Things to Change About Your Home Page

It’s 2014 and everyone should start to recognize and correct these common home page mistakes:

Possibly the most boring, but also the most popular website color is blue. Why not try to be different?

Stop bragging about Inc 5000, CRN 250, or popularity contests from past years. Even small firms can qualify with just $2 million in revenue for Inc or CRN and dated accolades scream tired and desperate.

9/11 Vigilance

On 9/11/2001, I was driving to Muskogee to implement Windows Terminal Services for the Veterans Administration Medical Center. My CFO called my cell and said Tower I had collapsed from a plane crash. During college, she was a nanny for a wealthy family in New York City. My mother’s family was from Empire State and I often spent summers seeing the sites in NYC. Both of us were very familiar with…

WPC 2014 Insider Perspective

WPC, otherwise known as the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference, was again a huge event this year with over 16,000 attendees descending on Washington D.C. July 13-17. This was my 8th WPC since first attending in 2003. Having traveled most of the nation, D.C. was one of the few cities I hadn’t previously visited.

Yammer Curiosity

If you don’t know about Yammer, it’s effectively the Facebook for business – recently purchased by Microsoft and now included free in every Office 365 subscription.
