    The true secret of the Yes/No response

    /

    I received a marketing email today from an expert in direct marketing, in which he wrote about sorting out the dead ducks from those who are really interested.

    He called it the Yes/No option, implied that it was how to sort …read more

    Pietersen Personality

    /

    Kevin Pietersen’s career as an England batsman is over.

    It’s an announcement that resonates well beyond the Cricketing constituency, possibly even within business. Certainly, there will be quite a few people thinking, “There, but for the grace of God, go I.”

    In simple terms, the Pietersen saga seems to be this: he …read more

  • How to speak so others want to listen

    /

    The Vulture Culture

    /

    Imagine this scenario. You go down the High Street and pop into a shop to buy a pair of shoes. You try on several pairs, choose one, and take it to the counter to pay.

    “How would you like to pay?”
