Funny how discipline and thoroughness are at the root of sales success be it a long or short sales cycle. Funny how discipline and thoroughness are at the root of success period. Even if they aren’t particularly sexy, discipline and thoroughness have a cult following.

Ah, a sneaky third part to the pricing exercise from 2024… one last question: do you know what it costs to run your biz? Not what the market will bear, but what your budget actual is vs the buy cycle. You know, your *REAL* runway.

Harkens back to the narrative imperative: knowing the story (and its context) means all the characters know their roles (It’s also a story of strategy vs tactics and not conflating the two)

Cliches are just another set of tools or excuses Choose wisely those you let shape what you actually do, rather than which ones enable nothing and procrastination to be the thing that distracts you from doing the hard work Cos nothing, not even snappy cliches, beats hard work

Old tech real estate can’t compete or keep up with new tech It’s an obvious truth Sunk cost fallacy on tech investment is the riskiest of illusions

15 years ago we were NOT crying wolf about COBOL cores And yet here we are again, only this time it’s existential not incremental Gimme red, it’s what I see anyway when I look at this problem…

Curiosity is a moral virtue. Humility is to be teachable. And just like a solitary data point, single vertical expertise has little value until it’s put in relation to another vertical of expertise.
