Greetings!

In this issue, we've uncovered "door-opening" articles from a variety of verticals, including Financial Services, Retail, and Energy.
 
We hope they help you brainstorm new ideas on how you can introduce your services to these leading companies.  
 
Also, are you looking to set more high quality sales appointments? If yes, read our summary section below to learn how we can help.
ConocoPhillips (HQ: Houston, TX) 
#4 in Fortune 500 
 
This leading oil company is building up a large new campus in Colorado that will eventually employ 7,000 people. The campus will house a global training center as well as a new R&D center.
 
If you target the Energy vertical, this could present a ground-floor opportunity to introduce your solutions for the new campus. 
 
Article Date: November 13th, 2009
Article Title: ConocoPhillips submits campus plans, expects 1.6 million square feet ready by 2013

Goldman Sachs (HQ: New York, NY)
#40 in Fortune 500 
 
According to this article, Goldman is planning some major hiring in two areas.
 
We like it when a company announces plans to aggressively hire. It usually follows that technology systems, processes and services will need to be upgraded to support the expansion. 
 
If you offer solutions that can help Investment Banks grow and scale, now is the time to call on Goldman.

Walt Disney (HQ: Burbank, CA)
#60 in F500 
 
This article describes the recent reorganization at Walt Disney Studios. Marketing in particular is being targeted as needing improvement.
 
We chose this article for those of you who offer solutions for helping Marketing divisions improve and excel. Be sure to check out the new leadership as well (including a new CTO role).

CVS Caremark (HQ: Woonsocket, RI) 
#19 in Fortune 500 
 
Selling to the Retail vertical? This article is for you. We especially liked the detail regarding the growth of CVS' MinuteClinics.
 
With competitors nipping at their heals, CVS can stay ahead of the game with advanced solutions in Data, Analytics, Marketing and eCommerce (to name a few).

Bloomberg L.P. (HQ: New York, NY)
Private - 6 Billion in Revenue (projected)
 
Bloomberg has announced an ambitious plan to be "the world's most influential news organization". And, since Bloomberg has operations in TV, Radio and the Web, it's a great fit for many of our readers.
 
In particular, the article states that Bloomberg's Web site and television programming are targets for revamping. Find out why by reading this quality and detailed 4-page article.
