Coffee with Ken and the Weekly Review
No, he wasn’t Keith Olbermann’s Worse Person in the World on Tuesday - that was NPR’s Ken Rudin. Actually, our Ken was this week’s featured guest on Selling Power’s coffee break online videos. The 5 minute videos are:
- How Analytics Accelerate the Sales Cycle
- CRM Analytics and Sales Productivity (Part 1)
- CRM Analytics and Sales Productivity (Part 2)
Here’s a quick summary of this week’s action on the Keep it Simple blog:
- A summary of what it takes to deliver Successful SaaS Business Intelligence: Simplicity, Focus, Platform Power, Customer Success
- Are you simply automating a broken process? - the first video in the series appears on Selling Power
- CRMBuyer and McKinsey highlight SaaS innovation
It’s a big game for the Sharks at home tonight in San Jose. Keep your fingers crossed…
Have a fantastic weekend!
