| The myth
of branding |
Opinion: Let's not kid ourselves,
brand equity is a temporary phenomenon, due more to market
inefficiencies than to our promotional prowess.

| Why
resellers don't sell, and why you should be glad they don't! |
Feature: It's
your reseller's job to provide distribution
points for your products. It's
yours to 'make a market' for those
products. Delegate your 'market
making' responsibilities with extreme
caution!

| The
importance of 'getting religion' |
Feature: Great content is more than
simple information, education or instruction.
Great
content flows from a higher cause … an ideology.
The
presence of this ideology adds an overriding
purpose to all of your communications,
supercharging their effectiveness.

| How
clean is clean: lessons from a monopolist |
Opinion: I
explained that there was another exciting benefit in sharing this
quality management system with potential customers (and with other
market players, for that matter). In sharing its system, our client
had the opportunity to establish an industry standard. |
|
| Baptism
by fire: a sustainable competitive advantage or else! |
Opinion: My
guest opened our meeting by explaining that he had a boutique
insolvency practice. Now, when I think of the word 'boutique', three
attributes spring immediately to mind: 'small', 'specialised' and
'expensive'. |
|
| The
Internet: 'business opportunity' or 'opportunity for business'? |
Opinion:
The fact is, there's more mileage in using the Internet to better
execute your existing strategy than there is in treating it as an
entirely new business model. |
|
| If
it quacks like a duck! |
Opinion: I
suspect that the market applies the ‘duck test’ to determine
whether or not a product is deserving of a new category. In other
words, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s probably
a duck! |
