Comment on Which is More Sustainable: Print or Digital Media? by Valentino Martinez

Robert Menard,

Thank you for such an insightful article on subject matter of growing great importance on several levels and across many domains to include: communications, business, academia, environmental, defense and public (social) to name a few. “Which is More Sustainable: Print or Digital Media?” Who would have thought that such a specific subject can have such broad and critical ramifications?

Robert—you give a whole new meaning to “the medium is the message” such that even Marshall McLuhan would take notice.

Comment on What Does The Buyer Want, Anyway? Part I by Erwin Peter

Erwin Peter — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 16:53:15 +0000

Robert, your figures are impressive. I have taught thousands of salespeople all over the world and have often heard: “but the people we sell to don’t want to give us the information on their business and/or on their project”. Intuitively I have suggested they should explain to the buyers why this information is relevant to both sides. I am glad your statistics indicate why sellers often get this answer and why it is important to explain to the buyers why a common understanding is key to their projects success. Thanks.
