The baseball season is coming to an end. Too bad the same can’t be said about sales pitches. How many clueless salespeople continue in their prospecting by offering bad sales pitches without understanding this number one buying rule ? People buy from people they know and trust.

Product Management is part process, part technology and part common sense. Product design and product configuration may reflect that reality in unexpected ways. I knew a fellow years ago who sold products for use in computer tape libraries. I know that’s in the dark ages for many readers, but the example I want to cite is too good to pass up. Imagine for a moment what a tape library might look like for a major corporation.
