S.Anthony Iannarino’s Post: The Problem with Ultimatums

The Problem with Ultimatums is a post from: The Sales Blog | S. Anthony Iannarino The first problem with giving an ultimatum is that it can be accepted.

Dan Waldschmidt’s Post: You Probably Don’t Believe What You Think You Believe.

Nothing illustrates the complexity of our individual differences more than politics or religion. While it is easy to assemble under a common banner for overall purposes, each of us has a different perspective. That perspective is uniquely shaped (and ever evolving) by years of experience, personal pain and fear, and goals that we set for ourselves. So while we can operate under a common label, organization, group, or association, it is a mistake to assume that black-and-white perspectives held by … Continue reading

It matters that you sound like someone who creates value for their clients. Having ideas matters … a lot! It matters how you treat the gatekeepers.

Lorenzo Cavalieri’s Post: False partite IVA vere partite IVA

Superare l’anomalia più insopportabile del nostro mercato del lavoro Tutti sappiamo cosa sono le cosiddette false partite IVA.
