Locked In

Locked In

Why does this guy have poop on his finger? I understand she’s holding the jar, but this the wrong way with this advertising campaign? Why didn’t they smear it all over his mouth? I can think of a thousand other ways to advertising M&M’s and this...
Let’s Begin

Let’s Begin

I finally have some time to write a post. Now that golf season is back, that ties up my Friday night and my Saturday morning. Why Friday night? Playing golf hungover is bad. You don’t wait all week for the most fun part and then muck it up feeling like shit....

Another Sales Problem

Another Sales Problem

Last Tuesday I was making sales calls in New York and my car stalled while it was one in a customers parking lot. I had parked and turned my car off. I realized I was in the wrong lot and turned it back on, reversed, and started driving. Within 10 seconds the car...
