Most Global Profits Come from Turbulent Industries
Two thirds.  That is how much of the global profit pool is in turbulent industries like media, telecom, auto, airlines, and financial services.  All of these industries are undergoing fundamental changes to their core business model.  Source: Profit from the Core.
Weakening Firms Focus on Cuts, Not New Products
Weakened companies appear to be focusing more on cutting operating cost.  The good news is that most executives see a brighter year ahead: 74% of the respondents say they expect their companies' profits to rise over the next 12 months, up from 46% in December 2009.

Load the Pipeline Marketing
Did you know that Microsoft Dynamics CRM is not just for managing your customers and sales efforts?  Microsoft Dynamics CRM offers marketing management and automation so you can market more effectively, improve productivity, and gain actionable insight into your marketing campaigns.
When sales numbers are below targets, the sales team is pointing fingers at marketing because they aren't bringing in enough leads and marketing is saying it is the sales department fault because they don't know how to follow-up on a lead. Does this sound familiar?
 
Ultimately both sales and marketing need to have access to a unified set of business data and then use that "single version of truth" as the basis for both business planning and subsequent sales and marketing activities.  Click here to see a demo of how you can manage a marketing campaign using Microsoft Dynamics CRM.  Want to learn more?

Doug Tatum's - No Man's Land
No Man's LandWhat to Do When Your Company Is TOO BIG to Be Small but TOO SMALL to Be Big
 
Many small businesses experience an awkward stage of corporate growth.  A transitional time, when the company is too big to be small and too small to be big.  Every company enters this territory but not every company comes out of it. 
 
This book describes the 4 M's of Growth:
1.   Understand your Model
2.   Realign with your Market
3.   Hire your Senior Management
4.   Raise your Money
 
This is a great book for entrepreneurs who are in that transition period.  They need to step away from the day-to-day operations and honestly evaluate yourself and your company in light of the "4 M's".  This could help transition your company through No Man's Land.
