Control freaks need not read on. (You might not like this.) But it’s time to let go of the core belief that companies know what will make their customers happy.
On the Search Habits of Life Scientists
How do YOU search using Google™? Do you usually skip the sponsored links at the top? I do. I guess it’s the tire-kicker in me that starts at the 3rd or 4th link down (collecting ideas for a good dinner recipe, for example), but if I really want to buy something, I’m more likely to […]
Getting Personal with Medicine

Life Scientists’ Perspectives: Beyond Basic Sales Support
“Every sale has five basic obstacles: no need, no money, no hurry, no desire, no trust.” ~ Zig Ziglar With the upsurge in fact-finding and purchasing options on the Internet, are life science sales reps at risk of turning into the Maytag Repair Man? (You remember him, right? The loneliest guy in town?) While the Death […]
Join the Herd, Embrace the Bird
OK, so they weren’t the first to jump on the social media bandwagon, but life science suppliers are starting to take a more methodical approach to using Web 2.0 social networking tools. Why not?
