You rarely find someone who doesn’t love tech these days. It ain’t the late 90’s where vaporware mattered and earnings did not, but we still all see how crucial technology is when it comes to running a business, regardless of its size. We find ourselves in an interesting time where we still all remember how the bottom dropped out of the market within the tech industry and now after reeling
Google the phrase, “iPhone vs. BlackBerry” and you’ll be presented with upwards of 150 million results. What makes this blog post unique?

We all know about Contact Management, CRM, Sales Force Automation – the list of sales automation tools, applications and other tech advancements as defined by “the technology of selling” is endless. I am always amazed that sales managers and business leaders look for ways to improve the sales management process through technology, but not the other way around.

Could it be? Apple’s going the “faster, better, cheaper” route? The surprising component would be the cheaper piece, obviously. Odds are, you either stopped paying attention (intentionally) or are just plain tired of the ridiculous hype surrounding the “iPhone 5 leaks” and product launch details over the last few months.

What’s going on?” We get calls and e-mails like these all too frequently these days with
Jobs is gone (and this time he won’t be back)…at least I’m 99% sure of it. Let’s face it, our world feels different. Whether you were a fan of Steve Jobs or not, there’s no denying the fact that Apple changed the world (if you haven’t seen it yet, I recommend checking out this commencement speech). I have always described Apple products as simple, yet able to deliver a level of
