For the longest time, my local Panera in Westboro Massachusetts was awful. Like phone company awful. And cable company awful. The problem was chronic. The half and half was always empty. The supplies of cup insulators and trays were nowhere to be found. The wait at the drive-through was intolerable. Online orders were never ready at or even close to the time they provided for pickup.

My windshield wipers were no longer getting the job done. They were underperforming (leaving streaks and smudges), not clearing water from the windshield (failing to meet expectations) and I couldn't see the road properly when it was raining.

I ordered Bosch Icon replacement blades, rated #1 by the NY Times, and after 30 minutes of unintentionally trying to put them on backwards, I finally got them installed.

I was reviewing stats from the 2022 World Series between the World-Champion Houston Astros and the National League Champion Philadelphia Phillies. The Phillies might have had a two-man wrecking crew in Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper but it wasn't nearly enough.

In many ways, the fundamental challenges of selling remain the same for the modern B2B sales funnel.

Selling is about creating value… Well, yeah, … but we have differing views of value, which often focuses on us and not the value customers need… To most sellers, it’s fitting the customer’s budget and winning because we might have a few more features than the alternatives, or are cheaper. The customer is very knowledgeable, they know what they need and want, our goal is to get them to choose us.
