"Your latest newsletter came at a totally opportune time for us. We had an RFP, but rather than bid with a super-low probability of winning, we decided to bend the rules and invest a few hours in a rather detailed explanation of why we weren’t bidding, and mildly offer an alternative or two. I’m 90% sure nothing will come of this, but it feels great to have tried working around the system rather than being locked into it."
Bill Bruck, CEO, q2Learning

"Again, another stellar newsletter, and once again, with "keepers" that we can start using immediately. I’ve found this one so great that I’ve printed out the bullet points."
Bill Bruck, CEO, q2Learning
