1. Have Courage At Launch
November 13, 2013
Sure you have a great product idea and the guts to build it, but do you really have a realistic picture of what it is going to take to bring it to market? Do you have the courage to spend enough to launch your product and create significant momentum?
My company, the 280 Group, works with man...

2. Work on Products You Are Passionate About
October 23, 2013
Let's face it, product management can be a tough job. We often have a lot of responsibility yet little formal authority. There are multiple groups of stakeholders (customers, management, salespeople, support, etc.) who all have ideas and demands that they wish to see included in our products, which ...

3. Inventory Turns Are Irrelevant
August 09, 2013
Remember the Maytag repairman commercials? He lives in a perfect field service world. Your Maytag repairman has nothing to do because the product never breaks. He hangs out, is bored, and hopes the phone will ring so he can fix something.
In this perfect imaginary field service world, invent...

4. Product Failures Are Opportunities to Delight Customers
August 09, 2013
No one wants a product to fail, but it happens. The way you deal with failure can create significant opportunity to enhance customer loyalty. But, if handled poorly, it gives your customers the excuse they need to buy from your competitors.
Your customer views product failure as an emergency...

5. Field Service Is Not Just "Break/Fix"
August 09, 2013
How do you define field service?
We advocate thinking big and "swinging for the fences" as they say in baseball. Not only should you be responding to customer repairs and providing ongoing maintenance, there is more that you can offer to add value for your customer and increase your revenues...

6. Help Customers Determine the Cost of Downtime
August 09, 2013
Most companies don't have a good understanding of what downtime really costs. This is probably because downtime creates an emergency situation and people get busy trying to resolve the emergency. The actual cost is never calculated. Here are the categories to be considered as part of downtime costs:...

7. Tell The Truth
April 29, 2013
Calling executives means you are dealing with some of the smartest people in business. Being dishonest will not get you very far. The single biggest mistake you can make is to lie to your prospects. It is the one mistake a client will never forgive. Starting with a lie, no matter how small, ...

8. Maintain The Right Attitude
April 29, 2013
I read years ago, in a book called Think and Grow Rich, about how thoughts become things. In other words, what you think about becomes reality. This applies to almost every aspect of life. I know by personal experience that it applies to cold calling. Your thoughts about cold calling make a huge dif...

9. Always Follow Up
April 29, 2013
Perhaps one of the biggest complaints I hear is some version of “We left them a message, but they never called us back.” It is self-deluding to assume that prospects will call you back, although you can be pleasantly surprised on the occasions when they do. It is far more effective to assume prospec...

10. Stay Invested At All Times
March 21, 2013
If you accept that it is impossible to time the market on a consistent basis, as discussed in Rule 9, then logically it follows that you should always stay invested in the market. This conclusion is certain to raise some controversy. The power of hindsight is just too great, and you do hear stories ...
