      The Elevator Pitch: How to Craft an Effective “30 Second Commercial” | Business 2 Community
      A primary goal of marketing is to create and deliver a consistent message at every point of contact with the target audience. This means that your website, brochures, ads, social media, etc. should all communicate similar strengths, services, and core values to a similar audience in a similar way. Any disconnect across media weakens your brand and confuses the message your firm is trying to send. This consistency should translate into business development and personal networking practices as wel

      An Oscar Meyer wiener, serving as proxy for a finger, was pushed into the spinning blade of a table saw.

But this saw was equipped with a safety device called SawStop that allowed the blade to distinguish between wood and flesh, and to stop fast enough to prevent serious harm. Sure enough, the blade came to a dead stop in about three one-thousandths of a second, leaving

      The workplace has never been more global than today. But despite that, I often find the last thing on people's minds when doing international work is the global element. Instead, and often for good reason, people focus on concrete and pressing work details: finishing that PowerPoint deck, running the financials one more time, or planning the logistical elements of foreign travel. As a result, they tend to follow "gut" theories — what they assume to be true about adapting behavior across cultures
