A friend of mine just became the head of a large bank, which is one of our larger customers. A solid and very comfortable guy that your first reaction to is... "I'd just like to sit around talking to to him". Ex-football player from Dartmouth who now maxes out on a couple of Tough Mudders every year. Great family man, just a nice guy, who is very focused on what he and his managers need to do in terms of performance and accountability.

Happy 2015!
And, with the coming of this new calendar year...of life, of Sales, of relationships, of exploring, and, most importantly, of learning, also comes the requirement to take a look around and assess where you personally are in your sales and marketing career. Part of this personal responsibility comes merely as a result of turning the page in the calendar and being able to broadly look out over the landscape of the next 12 months that are about to unfold...whether you're ready or not. Make a few resolutions if you must, but, most importantly, place a firm stake in the ground now, and take control of where you want be and what you want to have accomplished at this exact time in January, 2016.

“Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face.” -Mike Tyson
If your last image of Iron Mike chewing off the ear of Evander Holyfield was a bit too graphic, then maybe some of the following highly positive quotes might be more representative of the reasons for careful planning...just so that you don't get punched in the face.

Where do we fit into the Scale of the Universe...and Sales!
I spend most of every day, most weeks (except a couple on the NH beach and a couple at Stratton snowboarding), every month and every quarter thinking about and working in the professions of Sales & Marketing.

John Landry and I had the opportunity to present the week before last to the 128 Innovation Capital Group at the IBM Innovation Center on the subject of angel investing. Great group of entrepreneurs and Annette Reynolds, the Executive Director, runs a tight ship. Check out her next Pitch Party at the Piranha Pond, which is coming up on the 30th at 6:00PM at the Tech Sandbox, in Southborough With the significant market shifts in angel investing in general and specifically regarding the very positive changes at Common Angels, where John and I are partners, it was a great time to wave the flag and talk about something we're both passionate about.
