What will appear chaotic to some – specifically those presently employed – will seem natural to other, especially the “Y” Generation, our next American workforce.

How to sell deeper into your existing clients business
I received a call from a sales executive (let's call him Carl) recently about a dilemma he was having. He said, "Russ, I have a great suite of products and services that can address the needs of various departments and functions within a company. But once I get the first sale in one department, I just can't seem to penetrate other departments at this same account. I just seem to hit a brick wall.

Government Business Grants in Canada. Are They a Myth?

Often they are not aware of the programs of another division within their own departments. Many government programs provide funding that is non - repayable but are not called grants. Some government departments finance third party sectoral or community based organizations to administer funding on their behalf.

Marketing, sales and service silos why?
For people in the communications industry it is appalling that there is a lack of real communication occurring between their marketing and sales departments.
