There's a great social tool out there for organizing and managing one's time/calendar and new-learning budget… Learning at a pace that can be managed is key to "good learning". I call this tool "Other People's Calendar" (OPC). I'm sure I'm not the only one using it; so I'm reaching out for any advice on how I might use it better.

I love a good sales pitch. Some of my best ah-ha moments have come via some sales guy or gal pushing some this or that under my nose at exactly the right time. I have zero problem being pitched at; this wonderful world now provides me insanely useful tools to filter out and file pitches (almost automatically)… 

Now here's the human part....

Let's say perhaps one in a hundred pitches (or less) hit me at that "exactly the right ah-ha moment"; another 56, 60, 70 are irrelevant and are immediately chucked into the cold as cold can get cold storage locker… the others; I rely on OPC. If you've ever pitched to me, (pitched me something that make my eyes sparkle) you likely have received one of the following replies:

• Cool, please set up a meeting
• I really like this, but now is not the time, put me in your rotation
• I really like this, but can't see a use at this time
        ...(or variations on the theme)

PLEASE, Sales guy! …live up to my expectation that you've been given use of one of the many good sales tools out there. Trust my honesty; IF you've not been filtered, please follow my instruction and put me on YOUR calendar for reconnection, I AM RELYING ON YOU. I may not be your hottest lead, but if you remind me to have… that, "another look", I likely will. You know, even better, remind me that I reminded you to remind me; contextual "touch 'n tag back" is a very powerful persuader.

NOW… if you get no reply, assume that chill you're feeling IS indeed the high powered refrigeration unit firing up in my coldest of cold storage locker, BUT don't give up. Keep trying… you never ever know, AND I never ever know when I might just start hankering for something I wasn't hankering for today.

I (heart) salespeople!!! <-- It's true.
(who else is gonna go out there and find me all this cool Schtuff!)

    (as of October 24th 2013... this needs a bit of updating...)

    I am NOT a so-called blogger, nor do aspire to the fame and (massive) fortunes that seems to follow "the blogger's blogggers" these days... please see: about this, for more on that...

    All I ask is that IF you like the notions presented here, follow me on Twitter to be alerted to those odd times when I get around to committing to more of these... notions.

    ...so, I am NOT a blogger, I am simply a veteran* social media & digital business professional; With over 25 years experience in blah, blah... demonstrated blah success, implementing, blah, blah, blah... innovative ideas from, blah... start-up through to blah... projects for established Fortune 500 companies. 

    Comprehensive idea-generation ...blah, blah, blah problem solving skills with blah, blah, blah, blah... blah experience in a wide variety of markets.

    I do like to talk, even more, I like to think up, develop and implement, solutions. SO, lets talk :-)
