An Upgrade to "Meet Grace"

August 18, 2009


Last week my “Meet Grace” presentation on SlideShare was narrated and turned into a YouTube video.  This YouTube video presentation is an example of how one can leverage social media and video for outbound marketing purposes.  

Ian Griffin, a professional speechwriter, generously converted the slides for me and posted it on YouTube.  My tags and description were added to help increase traffic to the video and my website.

To further leverage social media, I updated my LinkedIn status, shared on Facebook, and tweeted on Twitter about my new video.  Now, I’m writing a blogging about it.  Last week, Ian already posted a blog about the new video.

These are just a few examples of how one can leverage social media for marketing purposes.

To greater success.

Next-Generation Conference Room Phone Design Ideas

July 6, 2009

In a separate blog post, I will review what I did to build and pitch the presentation.

To keep the company anonymous, I’m going to call it Company X. However, before I go into the design ideas, let m...

Pain Sells—Not Features and Benefits

April 23, 2009


Update your marketing and selling approaches by starting with pain.  Focus on what pain you solve for your customers / prospects.  People buy solutions to their pain, not features and benefits.  Pain is the only thing they identify with.  Lead with the pain and use products, features, and benefits as proof points to the solution.

Start with positioning the pain.  Traditional marketing teaches positioning as describing your product / service in terms of benefits, target customer segment, and k...

Appearing on Pragmatic Marketing Site

It is an honor to be considered as someone who exemplifies the role of product management.  I want to thank Pragmatic Marketing for including me on their home page.  My picture is cycled with those of other product management, product marketing and executive leaders whose philosophy aligns with Pragmatic Marketing and who illustrate the best of the role.
