What a huge week it's been in client acquisition. We are not sure whether summer is officially over and everyone is ready to capitalise on their businesses opportunities that lay in front of them for the rest of the year, or they simply know they need marketing, and are calling the first company that comes up on Google.

It’s amazing what a scientific anomaly can do to our culture and our businesses. It was a pleasant surprise to pull up my social media profiles and not see endless Trump posts, for or against.  Everyone around the U.S. dropped everything and acknowledged an event much larger than a personal opinion or celebrity story. So just how big of an effect did the eclipse have on the US?

Have you ever gone into a sales pitch and started using old techniques like the age-old SPIN selling tactic to close the deal? I can remember growing up and watching all those old movies from the 80s that featured "go getters" in suits screaming out to each other "Always Be Closing!". 

Ideally, it would be great to have a talented team in-house to take care of all of your needs. However, we have seen a trend to outsource certain capabilities. This isn’t because they can’t find the resources for it, it’s actually due to the quality of work.

Businesses both big and small, B2B and B2C, have to deal with the complexities of marketing. So what drives successful marketing? What separates the good marketing teams from the bad ones? In other words, what’s the secret formula to successful marketing? Let’s take a look at at the top three traits of great marketing teams:

LinkedIn has received a pretty bad rap over the past few years. The number of users signing in to their profiles dropped significantly, which is something Microsoft is trying to address after their $26.2 billion acquisition of the giant B2B social platform.

I can barely contain my excitement. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had great videos to share with my LinkedIn network, but haven’t been able to post them until today!

That’s because LinkedIn just released its newest update by allowing users to directly upload video to their newsfeed. So, if there’s a surplus of exclamation marks on this blog, just know that I’ve been waiting for this for a while now.

Still in its infant stage, influencer marketing has become a powerful tool for marketers who have adopted this strategy early on. But it’s not too late to get started now. You may just need a few reasons to get excited about this new craze, and here they are:

I was sitting in a Sports Clips just the other day and, as usual, I was waiting there in the sitting room for 5 hours. While contemplating whether or not to endure another day looking like I had a mop on my head, I looked up and saw ESPN featuring the USA vs Canada rugby match.
