THE TOO SALESY PARADOX WHY PROFESSIONAL SERVICE PROVIDERS CANT SELL AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT
| |
| By John Doerr
The distress is obvious. The complaints are frequent. The clear disdain for the activity is surprisingly unfiltered. What are we talking about? Selling, or more specifically, selling professional services.

Opportunity Valuation Gives Direction to Strategic Planning
| |
| n corporate strategic planning and, let’s face it, in life itself we have to choose our battles. As much as we try to stretch our limited resources, the fact remains that they’re still limited. In our strategic planning approach, we call the process of choosing our battles “opportunity valuation.” And by the way, choosing our battles isn’t a negative; it merely refers to the fact that we must select the opportunities (targeted outcomes) that will earn our limited energy and resources. In our proprietary planning process, known as Plan4, opportunity valuation combats the behavior of many organizations that bite off more than they can chew and suffer for it.
