VC4-35 Mark Boundy Asks for your Feedback

June 12, 2023 • 10 mins
I've been ruminating lately about the challenge of helping big organizations sell and price value more effectively...vs. the challenge of helping more agile companies become more holistic in their pursuit of customer value. There's a huge difference. Doing the first is straightforward and pays well. Doing the second requires searching for that rare company who's ready to do something special - which is simple in concept, but hard...

May 8, 2023 • 34 mins
David Newman has released his newest book, "Do It! Selling" (the latest in his "Do it!" series of books).

This latest book is a home run for those audiences, but is a great sales primer for anyone launching out in the world of sale...

VC 4-028 Sky Cassidy and differentiating in a highly commoditized space.

February 12, 2023 • 32 mins
Sky Cassidy founded and runs MountainTop Data, a data company that sells leads -- but differentiates by selling 1) guaranteed lead quality 2) a la carte: that is, you buy (not rent) a certain number of leads without an ongoing contract commitment.

VC 4-26 Joe Pusz and I talk about project success, a pretty darn important customer outcome.

January 30, 2023 • 28 mins
Depending on how it's measured ("at least one goal met" vs. "most or all goals met"), about 50-70% of projects, especially software projects, FAIL. Holy cow. Joe Pusz leads the PMO Squad, and is a national leader in promoting great project management -- which he defines as "meeting client goals", rather than "successfully installed".

November 28, 2022 • 38 mins
Park Howell believes, just like I do, that customers buy outcomes from doing business with you. He helps his clients compose stories that light up the limbic brain, or as Park calls it, "the movie theatre of the mind".

    Cardiac Cowboys

    Cardiac Cowboys

    The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
