** EXCELLENT **
Very nice quote, Joseph!!!
I am reading an excellent book called "Rainmaking", and while it is about
sales, it makes the point that once you have been quoted as a source by media,
you may well get asked again. We need to see if we can somehow finagle the WSJ
to take an interest too, and work the angle of the size of the market being
underserved by the current sets.
KKK: "too much Ballast"... hah. TLG is not a ship. But if it has too much
ballast, perhaps it's in the superstructure rather than the holds. We could do
with less Danes who think it's their ticket to multinational executive status
and more people in the executive ranks who work there because they love the
brick.
