In life we have many opportunities that are placed before us and we have to choose how to react to each of these opportunities. We make these decisions based on many facts. Sometimes we make the best decision and sometimes we make the worst decision; most of the time we fall right in the middle. Those that excel in our area of expertise, make the right/better decision more often than not. Sales professionals have numerous opportunities each and every day for new and repeat business and those that shine over time are those that make the better decisions.

On the road again.

Submitted by Leonard Shostak on Sun, 03/13/2011 - 14:26
On the road again, this past weekend heading to one of the cities I frequented when I was in college and boy, has it changed! Looking at the businesses and which ones are still there, gone or changed. The "old" diner that was there 20 years ago is still there with almost the same menu. The trendy sports bar on the corner is now a Starbucks (this was probably a result of letting just a bit too many underage drinkers drink), the staple Irish bar has changed its colors from dark and green to light blue and airy--oh! and some of the beers on tap have changed as well.

Email troubles increase as we get more and more devices

Submitted by Leonard Shostak on Mon, 02/14/2011 - 00:03

We now have more and more electronic devices in use, and we want all our information, in all the locations, all the time. This causes a dilemma, since most of the devices have different versions of each program, with different features, and they not only change from device to device but from version of device to version of device -- you get the picture -- big mess. Data gets lost, and sometimes data gets duplicated, and we don't know why or how this stuff is supposed to "work".

The Family Matters Game, a Box of Rain Project, Hits Major Milestone

Submitted by Leonard Shostak on Tue, 05/11/2010 - 21:30

Box of Rain's client Family Matters—the game that helps families get to know each other better (and have fun doing it)—will soon be on shelves in over 200 Toys-R-Us stores nationwide! Besides Toys-R-Us, the game can be purchased from Amazon.com. Watch for the game at other retail outlets soon—our rep is now speaking to Barnes & Noble among others; his distributor wants the game for big dot-com customers (e.g., Wal-Mart) so things might get interesting in a mass kind of way.

Klyph Black and Rumor Has It: Coming to You Live from a Snowstorm Near You.

Submitted by Leonard Shostak on Mon, 03/08/2010 - 00:29

This one starts off slow but picks up quickly. Left the house and headed for the borrowed car and dug it out. It has been snowing all day long and the winter storm watch was in full effect, but "the music never stops," so I headed to the BQE. The road is pot-hole ridden and the drivers were taking advantage of the snow to make their own lanes independent of the other cars, but I drove on. It took me almost 2 hours to get 21 miles.
