KISS... Keep It Simple Silly. It applied with I was the General Manager of a steakhouse, and it applies to selling solutions. If you want your team to be successful, stay focused on the goal and keep it simple. #coffeewithkristal #bettertogether #sellingsolutions #salesleadership

As someone who was part of the original 1664 Blanc launch team in the early 2000s I had to share this phenomenal piece of brand activation. Kudos to Carlsberg Marston's Brewing Company 👏👏👏 🚀 My No 1 Golden Rule of Marketing: Invest at the point of purchase for maximum ROI. You get a huge sampling opportunity to recruit new consumers and drive sales but most importantly you create brand advocates who keep selling for you long after the activation ends. 💡💰 #SuperbWork #BrandActivation #MarketingStrategy Remember, it’s not just about the visibility of the product—it’s about the lasting impact you create 🙌

Presentation. That’s what amazes me when I visit Buc-ee's. In case you live under a rock, Buc-ee’s is to convenience stores what Home Depot is to hardware. Seeing one from the interstate, you might wonder what in the world they’re doing to attract so many people. First, lower gas prices, because their business plan is to get you inside where they make real money. Walk through the door, and Buc-ee’s is one part carnival, one part restaurant, and one part clean restrooms. It might not sound like much on paper, but once inside, you instantly notice the store is well-lit, the merchandise is brightly colored, and the staff members are ultra-efficient and ultra-friendly. I never understood why people would ever buy a Coca-Cola t-shirt (just to advertise Coke), but the same is going on with the Buc-ee's brand. It’s on hats, t-shirts, mugs, and yes, stuffed beavers. I behoove any business owner to study this model because often, presentation is everything. #BUC-EEs #trustdale #deepthoughts #productpresentation #dalecardwell #merchandising #cocacola #coke

Andy Clarke - CEO ASDA 60 Second Shoots Total journey time 7 hours. Total time away 12 hours ASDA HQ is busy, there’s a lot going on. Big atrium. It was busy in the photographic sense too. What with all the stalls, food venues, break out areas and palm fronds there was no where on the ground floor for a clean cover shoot. As with most impressive atriums, the views are up, not level where your subject is and I don’t usually shoot up the nose. But up that escalator I could see some dappled sunlight falling on a small section of ASDA green wall. That was my spot. I quickly set up some gear and did come mental calculations about how the light would fall on a human. Would it be too harsh? How tall was the CEO? Would the sun move before he arrived? I didn’t have to wait too long. Suddenly Andy Clarke appears with staff; PR, PA, a couple of other people. He walks right up to me with and with a firm friendly handshake says, “Its very nice to meet you. I do apologise, there is nothing I can do about it but I literally have 60 seconds.” He looks at his watch, “And your time starts now!” There is a certain skill or self awareness which allows you to calmly and patiently direct a sitter while inwardly your brain is screaming “Hurry up you eejit!! (to myself not the sitter)” You sense the clouds moving serenely across the sun and the second hand moving like and unstoppable oil tanker toward an ultimate conclusion. Oil tankers actually move quite fast btw - we nearly got run over by one off the Western Australian coast once. But I digress. We got there. On the dot. And he was gone. I looked at my watch and wondered where I should get lunch while I waited for my train in two hours. #corporateportrait #editorialportrait #businessportrait #asda #availablelightportrait #cbi #influentialportraits
